To review:

Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom…of the press. - First Amendment

And here’s a great example of that press freely exercising its rights:

Campbell Brown asks McCain spokesperson Tyler Bounds about Sarah Palin’s foreign affairs experience three times. The first time, Tyler talks about how McCain has loads of experience. The second time he talks about Barack Obama’s relative lack of experience.

After the third time, Brown finally gets him to say that Palin has foreign affairs experience because she commanded the Alaska National Guard. So Brown asks him to name once command decision Palin made. Just one. Bounds can’t do it!

John McCain was so enraged by a member of the press exercising her fundamental right to ask tough questions that he cancelled a scheduled interview with Larry “Softball Questions R Us” King.

Punishing media outlets that don’t kowtow to the Dear Leader? This is the kind of thing a two-bit dictator would do.

Of course, what should we expect from a ticket that wants to ban books, Ray Bradbury style?

John McCain hates freedom. It’s the only conclusion you can draw.
