Do Democrats still believe...

...in freedom of the press?

Earlier this month, April Ryan (not a politician, but political analyst for CNN and supporter of Democratic politics) gave the keynote speech at the New Jersey Parent Summit in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Ryan ordered her security to remove a local journalist, Charlie Kratovil of New Brunswick Today.

Now Robert Francis O'Rourke's campaign has ejected a Breitbart reporter from an event.

Cavalier did not immediately outline what work from Pollak the campaign had found objectionable or whether this was a one-time action that would apply to Breitbart personnel in the future.

The irony of Mr. O’Rourke, who has stated that he is the beneficiary of ‘white privilege,’ purporting to decide for black students who should be banned from events that are open to the press, or what they should feel, is not lost on us.

Democrats haven't believed in freedom of speech for everyone for a long time.

Agree. Now it seems they may not even worry about keeping up the pretense.

Democrats believe in free speech the same way Stalin believed in it. The Party is free to speak. Proponents of opposing ideas are free to be guests of the Gulag.

Perhaps Fox News, the Internet, and Trump have so boldly and effectively called out their blatant bias that only the more gullible, indoctrinated, or similarly biased would believe their pretense anyway. Such will still believe them when they "justify" taking such actions.
