“That’s how dictators get started,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said in an interview that aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “They get started by suppressing a free press. In other words, a consolidation of power. When you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press.”
“I’m not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator,” the senator said. “I’m just saying we need to learn the lessons of history.”
“If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and, many times, adversarial press,” McCain explained. “And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time.”
“I hate the press,” McCain said, half-jokingly. “I hate you, especially. But the fact is we need you.”

McCain's just milking the fact the he's no longer the media's most hated politician.

"I like people who weren't captured."

I prefer my war heroes to actually be fighting and winning instead of being captured and out of commission.

With all sincerity I am glad the press is back doing its job.

Freedom of the press shouldn't be a partisan issue. Good for McCain.

That's a war hero to me. -
Dishonest establishment politician who talks out of both sides of his mouth and LOST. Multiple times.
