>>I'd add that according to most politics, the status of the office of POTUS is also fairly important to democracy- so how come there's no faux outrage at the non-stop 24/7 attacks on POTUS? The same people acting aghast that Saint Acosta got sent to the naughty chair which they insist destroys the first amendment, are often the foulest destroyers of the stature that the office of POTUS once enjoyed. You do realize that the office of POTUS will never recover what you've torn down, don't you?

It can be frustrating when people claim that it is the press who are damaging the office of the president by ...ya know... reporting what the president says and does. This is how you end up with the news being controlled by the government - you end up with state-tv -- which is pretty much what Fox News has become.
