The press needs unity.
It occurs to me that the press today doesn’t realize the power they possess. Unity could so easily prevail for them. Their bosses can’t fire all of them. For example, if one of them asked a tough question at a press conference and was rebuffed by a “Next Question” type of response, the next press member should repeat the same question. All the media needs is solidarity. If they all had one half of the balls of Helen Thomas, they wouldn’t need to be whores. I wonder if they realize that.

2. Don't like the idea.
They might unite the WRONG way! That's how dictatorships get started...

3. Sorry, but dictatorships get started by the suppression of the media
Sort of like what we have now.
