When General Kelly refused to accept questions from reporters
who were not from Gold Star families, that should have been the
biggest news to come out of the press conference. The administration
was limiting press access, and reporting, to a select group that they
deemed more sympathetic to their positions. The other reporters were in the
room, but were effectively being silenced because of their "bias". The next
step could be to only admit Fox News, Breitbart, Washington Times and their ilk.

next day for suggesting that one shouldn't challenge
a General, but the General suggesting the official
government line could not be questioned by outsiders
really defines fascism. Everything subservient to the
welfare of the state.
