Regular readers know I use the term “Authorized Journalists” to describe the establishment press, the folks who won’t cover Gunwalker but fall all over each other trying to get more gun laws passed as a result of it. This comes in from The Washington Times: At a Chicago press conference held by Sen. Dick Durbin of IL, himself one of the biggest enemies of the Second Amendment in government, conservative journalist William Kelly tried to ask him a question:
“Senator, you’ve blamed the tea party…but do you bear any responsibility for this downgrade crisis?”
The press went wild—the "Authorized Journalists," that is, dismissing Kelly as a Tea Party organizer, telling him he wasn’t a reporter and couldn’t ask questions—the same thing happened to me at a Brady Campaign event at a public park in California, except my antagonist was an “Only One”—and the bottom line is they harassed Kelly for credentials—not anyone else, just him, and a law enforcement rep escorted him out.
The regressive left habitually and falsely accuses Second Amendment activists of not caring about the rest of the Bill of Rights, but this shows that’s just projection and deflection masking their own hostility to all freedom—remember John Kerry saying the press didn’t need to give Tea Partiers equal time because their opinions weren’t valid?
When the history of our time is written—as it always is, by the victors—let’s work toward making sure their shameful abdication of all semblance of ethics is what people remember about these wretched subversives, these Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.
That means we need to be the ones who win.
