Hey I totally understand the dangers of impeding freedom of the press, and that this latest is pretty much reprehensible.

But, until the press gets back to focusing upon reporting important news instead of focusing 90% of their resources upon Asshole-A and his latest fling with three reality-tv stars (only one of whom is his wife), or upon the unspeakable horror that is the Kardashian Family…my impression of the actual effect of this danger on democracy is pretty effing low.
