The Founding Fathers knew how important a "free press" is to a "free society". We need to be able to get the truth of what is going on from the people by the people from the press. The FCC monitering newrooms is akin to governmental interference & intimidation and is clearly against the First Amendment.
There should be a public outcry from U.S citizens in general as it's not up to them to assess the coverage of a free press. Wether in politics or public health issues government should not have the control of that over the publics right to know. It's a slippery slope & next it will be the internet freedom of information by it's citizens right to know.
It is a slippery slope!
