Stelter: ‘Press Freedom Is Your Freedom’

EXCERPT:

STELTER: “There's an old saying, Dana, that press freedom is your freedom. Reporters are showing up at places like the White House, yes, you know, it's a good-paying job and you get to put on makeup and you get to ask questions of the president and you get to report on stories and break big news, but we're also there because we're trying to hold the government accountable and inform the public about what's going on. Press freedom is your freedom. And that is why this moment is so important, and it's a symbol of something so much greater than just these three banned news outlets.”
