- Shivetya 14y agoAt least in the US the old press is protected by the First Amendment. Far too many here in the US seem to think it applies nearly everywhere else too. Yet one disturbing side effect is that the "press" is more than willing to see the government of the US put restrictions if not ban political speech made by other groups and individuals provided they are not part of the traditional press. Blogs, political action groups, radio commentators, and even television, are all fair game according to the tradition press for restrictions they themselves would scream if placed on them. So yeah, they don't want competition.
