| | | News Flash: Even some conservatives support a free press!
You know the tide has turned when conservatives refuse to go along with the Bush Administration. From Places Unexpected, Support For the Press Quote:
A federal shield law passed the House last year by a veto-proof margin of 398 to 21, with a conservative Republican — Representative Mike Pence of Indiana — leading the effort.
“What’s a conservative like me doing passing a bill that helps reporters?” Mr. Pence asked in the House debate last year. The answer, he said, came from his belief that “the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press.”
| Imagine that!!

| Thankfully it came from the New York Times who are in no way the driving force behind the liberal media and have never had an agenda against the Republican party or actual conservatives in general. |
