Ben Carson's 'Direct Appeal' to Media: You Have 'Sacred Position,' 'Don't Abuse It'

More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.

In declaring his presidential candidacy on Monday, Dr. Ben Carson took the liberal media to task: "You know, the media, the press, is the only business in America that is protected by our constitution....It was because our founders envisioned a press that was on the side of the people, not a press that was on the side of the Democrats or the Republicans....And this is a direct appeal to media: you guys have an almost sacred position in a true democracy. Please don't abuse it."
