The Press's Job is to Protect Liberty

"The press's job is to stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us from a government and from organized governmental power.

"When they desert those ramparts ... and become active particpants ... and decide ... what truth that you may know, as an American, and what truth you are not allowed to know, they have, then, made themselves a fundamental threat to the democracy, and, in my opinion, made themselves the enemy of the American People.  These people are going to destroy freedom in America."

Those words are from Pat Caddell, Democratic pollster turned political analyst, speaking on "The Audacity of Corruption" before a September 2012 Accuracy in the Media conference, as related by Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President, America's First Freedom.
