Just as Montgomery's First Rule of War is "Don't march on Moscow," the first rule of American politics is "don't alienate the press."

I never said it was wise or even desirable to target certain news outlets for exclusion' although I understand the sentiment and share the contempt of many for the MSM. IMO they have abandoned the public interest who they claim to serve in favor of establishment and elite opinion. I am merely saying that it is not an "attack" on the first amendment. No one's liberty has been infringed upon. This is not a slippery slope to fascism. To say otherwise is both hyperbolic and in error.
