"Freedom of the Press loses"
Filed Under Politics | 5 Comments
For some background and the text of the U.S. House of Representatives’ resolution to condemn media for telling the public about possibly illegal privacy violations, see this earlier post.
From The Nation’s blog, The Notion, an account of the House passing the resolution this evening:
Voting to take a swipe at the Constitution were 219 Republicans and Louisiana Democrat Charlie Melancon.
Voting to protect and preserve the First Amendment were 194 Democrats and Shays.
…
Just to make his point clear, Oxley [OHIO Republican Congressman Mike Oxley, author of the resolution] explained to his colleagues that the intention of his resolution was to signal that the government “expects the cooperation of all news media.”
That sounded a little like a pronouncement from a Communist Party Congress in Beijing to Congressman David Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who is one of the senior members of the House. Both the United States and China “seem to be eager to clamp down as much as possible on their journalistic critics,” Obey explained before voting “no.”
Congressman Maurice Hinchey, the New York Democrat who co-chairs the House Future of Media Caucus and is one of the chamber’s stalwart defenders of civil liberties, told his colleagues, “This measure attempts to intimidate the press and strengthen the hands of this despotic administration, which continues to violate the law. This president is in favor of releasing classified information to the press when it’s to his political advantage and condemning the press when information reveals that the administration may be violating the law.”
Added Hinchey, “Freedom of the press is essential to a functioning democracy in this country. However, this White House along with this rubber stamping, Republican Congress are impeding the press’ ability to report the news and making it difficult for the public to understand the truth.”
Congressman James Moran, a Virginia Democrat, was blunter. The representative, whose district is home to thousands of federal employees — many of them involved in intelligence gathering — referred to the resolution as “nuts.”
Moran is, of course, correct.
Another reason to be frustrated with the people elected from Ohio, and the people that vote for such individuals who are elected.
