Wake Up Call to Free Press

The Administrations rants tell us less of what they think about Fox News and more about how they view the other major news networks.

Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said, "It is not a news organization so much as it has a perspective." Meaning a different perspective from theirs.

Just as there is a wall of separation between Church and State, there is supposed to be a wall of separation between the Press and State. The Obama administration, and by extension the democrat party, doesn't believe in that wall. It shouldn't be a surprise when you factor in how many members of the administration have shown an affinity for the communist form of governing. One that views the press as property of and subject to the government.

The administration feels no need to complain about the rest of the press. Could it be that ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN have the same “perspective” as the administration? If so, then there is no need to watch such programming. We need to seek out a different perspective than that of our government. That's the whole idea behind a free press in the first place.

The fact that the administration is comfortable publicly issuing orders to the other networks that they “ought not to treat” Fox “like a news organization” should be a wake up that something is shamefully wrong.
