Obama signs 'Press Freedom Act,' refuses questions from the press

President Barack Obama signed the Press Freedom Act on Monday, this law expands the State Department's annual human rights reports to include a description of press freedoms in each country.

But what about the United States?

After he signed the act into law, Obama did not allow the press to ask him any questions. He promptly said, no questions.

Throughout the Obama administration, the press has been stifled, much like in communist countries. We'll see what the future brings.

Freelance journalist Rev. Brenda Lee speaks to KABC about being forcibly removed when she wanted to give a letter to President Barack Obama. Lee is a Catholic priestess. I am not sure what that is, but I'll go along with it for now.

1st Amendment is under attack by Sharpton

Rev. Al Sharpton apparently believes that the First Amendment only applies to himself and not to others. He is now attacking News Corp., the parent company of the New York Post.

Sharpton is calling on the city of New York to stop advertising in the newspaper and also asking for the FCC to review the waiver extended to NewsCorp., which allows it to own more than one television station and newspaper in the same city.

Here is a review of the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

On top of this, the Second Amendment is under attack and has been taken away in some places in the United States. Banning guns is illegal. Just read the Bill of Rights once in a while to know what it under attack.
