From the horse's mouth

Mark this down for future reference:

In fact, it was chilling that the members of the ... press sang the praises of the president.

It was not what you'd want in a democracy.

Certainly not! So have this ready the next time someone like, say, Charles Krauthammer, who said the above on Fox News' "Special Report With Brit Hume" on Thursday, complains about the "liberal press."

And if in response someone notes that Krauthammer was talking about the treatment of President Putin by the Russian press, ask them why they're more interested in democracy in Russia than in the US.

Thanks to Liberal Oasis for the quote.
