No conservative should stand for this type of government abuse of power...the punishment of unfriendly media. But they will.
Now see what you do there? You swap out the complaint of "LYING OUT THEIR A$$" and substitute "because they are unfriendly".
Yes, Lying out your @$$ to push one political party's agenda is indeed unfriendly, but worse, it is destructive to the nation because it misinforms the people regarding serious matters.
But you keep trying to make this about "because they are unfriendly" instead of "BECAUSE THEY ARE A DEADLY THREAT TO THE PROPER OPERATION OF OUR DEMOCRACY."
Remeber Bill Clinton accused the media of not telling the truth and charactor assasinatiom. Would any of these same conservatives haave welcomed Clinton threatened the same?
The media had to be dragged kicking and screaming to cover even the slightest detail of the ongoing scandal that was the Clinton Administration. Clinton was guilty as H*ll, and of course he was going to whine about the tiny amount of coverage the media gave to his scandals.
Had they treated him as they do Republicans, he would have gone to prison.
