1. Uhm.. Hello.. Freedom of the press?
I remember when the press could report anything they wanted without government approval. Those were the days huh?

2. Freedom of the press.....I seem to remember something about that.
Seems like they could actually print the truth or actually wanted to.

4. It's an amendment. I hate that. It means that Dems who ultimately vote
against the bill, will have some commercial in the future that says they oppose freedom of the press. If they tried to explain and say, well I voted for the freedom and then against the bill, the media will say they are flip flopping. Ahh the state of our media today!
