His attacks on the media, and threats to revoke credentials are counter to the First Amendment.
Some in the media think tbey have more First Amendment rights than individuals. They're wrong. But these authoritarian attacks on our civic institutions are damaging to democracy.
The media does not have a right to attend a press conference or enter the White House.
Stalin says hi. This guy is out of control.
That's just a stupid comparison. Show me where the Constitution states that reporters have a right to attend a press conference?
If anyone should be compared to Stalin it's the modern day left,
especially including their propagandist mouth pieces in the MSM, who rigidly seek to impose their viewpoint and their agenda on the rest of the country as they simultaneously do all they can to squelch/silence the free speech of anyone that disagrees with them.
People tend to seriously confuse "rights" and "privileges". For example a lot of people think they have the "right" to drive a car on public roadways. They don't. Driving a car on public roadways is a "privilege" earned through obtaining a license to do so. They have the "right" to the freedom to obtain the proper education, etc. to obtain such a license. Similarly, of course the press has the right to free speech, but credentials to be a part of something like the White House Press Corps is an earned privilege and earned privileges requiring things like demonstrated responsible journalism can be lost. And if they're lost or revoked it has
nothing to do with infringing on first amendment "rights" as the person or persons affected are still totally free to spew whatever they want to spew somewhere else. I totally understand it if the Trump Administration wants to let at least some of these 110% biased leftist liars that they're on the verge of losing their privilege.
