Don't pretend you don't understand the game this administration is playing. You're too bright for that, and disingenuousness doesn't suit you.

Perhaps. Are they being treated unfairly? That's obviously a matter of opinion. I personally feel that the MSM have been irresponsible for years. I do not think they intentionally fabricated news, except in isolated cases like what Dan Rather did, but I do think the reporting has been highly selective. Nevertheless it is simply incorrect to say the Trump is trampling on the First Amendment. No one is being censored. The everyday blogger cannot just waltz into a presidential press conference so why should openly hostile news organizations be able to.
