Rep. Reed disagrees with Prez regarding media

Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning) held his weekly media call Monday afternoon. I was poised to pounce, but reporter Jason Sample beat me to the question. Sample told Rep. Reed that President Trump, via Twitter, called the media the 'opposition party.' Sample asked Reed straight out if he agreed. In a rare departure from the side by side walk, Reed disagreed with the President. The Congressman said, "I support the freedom of the press. It's a cornerstone of our constitution and I support what the press does...to ask the questions of us as elected officials. That's why I make myself available every week. That's why we do the town halls...because I think that honors the commitment to an open and free debate."
