Discussion on Press Freedom and Democracy

Mi imaginación

no podía prever

algunas de las cosas que están pasando justo ahora.

Creo que acaba de anunciarse que la Casa Blanca decidió,

eh,

¿saben qué, CNN?

eh, MSN, eh, MS Now,

eh, eh, quizá incluso The New York Times estaba incluido,

simplemente ya no pueden asistir a

las ruedas de prensa de la Casa Blanca porque están

dándole al actual presidente una cobertura desfavorable.

Estoy tratando de pensar qué habría pasado si yo hubiera dicho: «¿Saben qué,

Fox

News, se largan de aquí».

Es inimaginable.

Así que, el punto que planteo aquí es que

si hay un cierto grupo, digamos entre el 30 y el 35 % del país

en este

momento,

que piensa que eso está bien,

bueno, eso significa que no hemos desarrollado el tipo de

comprensión de lo que exige la de- democracia.

Eh, y tenemos que reforzarlo de nuevo. No creo que sea inevitable.

No... no creo, eh,

que todo esté perdido en ese frente. Pero

tenemos que remangarnos y ponernos a trabajar.

Original transcript (English)

My imagination could not foresee some of the stuff that's going on right now. I believe there was just an announcement that the White House decided, uh,

you know what, CNN, uh, MSN, uh, MS Now, uh, uh, maybe even The New York Times was included, you just can't come to the White House press briefings anymore 'cause you're

giving the current president unfavorable coverage. I'm trying to think what would have happened if I had said, "You know what, Fox News, you're out of here." It's unimaginable.

So, but the point I'm making here is, is that if you have a certain cohort, let's call it 30 to 35% of the country right now, which thinks that's okay,

well, what that means is we have not developed the kind of understanding of what r- democracy requires. Uh, and we've gotta shore that back up. I don't think that's inevitable. I th- I don't think, uh, all is lost on that front. But

we, we have to roll up our sleeves and, and get working.
