Thom Hartmann: Who is the press?
Craig Aaron, Free Press, joins Thom Hartmann. Wayne LaPierre and the NRA are on the wrong side of the argument when it comes to gun control - but believe it or not - there's a lot to learn from their devotion to their cause. For the First Amendment to keep us free - we must need to fight to keep the definition of the “press” as all inclusive as possible. And if we want to protect the rights of all journalists - regardless of their pay grade - or lack thereof - our fight for the freedom of the press must be as relentless as the NRA’s fight for gun rights.
