Justice Ginsburg reiterated the importance of the free press.
Implied in her statement is the idea that what really happens are events along the DC-NYC region. She has no clue until she starts reading the Dallas, LA, Chicago etc news. She thinks the world begins and ends with east coast liberals, she has never heard about much else.
"I read the Washington Post and the New York Times every day, and I think that the reporters are trying to tell the public the way things are," she said.
"Think of what the press has done in the United States," she said citing the Watergate scandal. "That story might never have come out if we didn't have the free press that we do."
