***This is not the first time that Ms. Feinstein has gone out of her way to re-define what a journalist is in this country or the Senate has attempted to control the media. Earlier this year Sen. Feinstein did not like what she saw in one news source and tried to sue for slander (the case was dismissed as frivolous). Also this year we saw the Obama Administration kick out the Fox News reporters out of a press conference until that made national headlines. Perhaps if Ms. Feinstein did not make such comments as “Of course my constituents are against the war, but they don’t know what I do” or “I don’t like the way this hearing is going so I asked Chairman Whitehouse if I could have another with a more selective committee” to the press when she didn’t get her way on the Second Amendment, then she wouldn’t have to worry about her feelings hurt by the press in the paper. You can see her stating that the First Amendment is a privilege and not a right below during the committee hearing. - See more at: freepatriot.org/2013/09/20/senate-votes-proceed-killing-first-amendment-establishing-state-run-media/#sthash.5wh27mJz.4FU8SzNS.dpuf
