A liberal, Kirsten Powers, argues for the right of Fox News to report the news freely and criticizes Obama's White House for cutting Fox out-of-the-loop on news briefings. The mainstream media is not holding the White House accountable for any of its decisions. There is right to the freedom of the press.
“Can someone explain to me,” Powers wrote, “how it’s ‘liberal’ to try
and shut down a media organization? What the Obama administration is
doing, and what liberals are funding at [Media Matters] is beyond
chilling – it’s a deep freeze.” She’s right – it’s not “liberal” at all,
and neither is the contemporary totalitarian left. She goes on to
excoriate Media Matters further for its threats to collect dirt on Fox
News employees and to sue conservatives for “slanderous” comments about
progressives. “If the White House can call one news outlet illegitimate
for asking tough questions, then guess who is next? Anyone”:
