There going to Kickstart Program now with a video. You better sit down if you want to catch it. There is a lot to celebrate, because journalism is such an important part of the freedoms we continue to enjoy in this country, and many other countries wish they had the benefits we had because our Founding Fathers were so brilliant with the First Amendment. Thomas jefferson famously said he would have a press without a government than a government without the press. When the press conference the confronts the government, that means the system is working. When you dont acknowledge at fundamental role that the press plays and protect it that is the role of the press secretary, to protect the role against those that are fuming at whatever has been reported. If you do not treasure and protect that relationship, we are losing something fundamental to our democracy. I think one of the things this past election has taught us journalists, if they follow the stories and facts, and dont worry about
