Representative Smith statement on freedom of the press
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.) released the following statement:
"Freedom of the press is one of the cornerstones of our democracy, and it must not be compromised by political pressure.
"Sinclair's decision to ban Jimmy Kimmel from its stations under pressure from Donald Trump's Administration is censorship. Until this ban is lifted, I will not be doing interviews with Sinclair-owned media outlets.
"We cannot allow this kind of political interference in our free press."
