I never asked for the state to be involved.Trump was a buffoon for saying that shit. Hell, hes part of the problem with the asinine tweetingThe crazy Left Wingers can't survive in a free society.
That is why they are afraid of Freedom of Speech.
That is why they are afraid of a Free Press.
That is why Obama weaponized the DOJ and the FBI.
Freedom of the press? Is that something you pretend to support?
Donald Trump Thinks the Freedom of the Press Is ‘Disgusting’
Trump just issued a direct threat to the media - CNNPolitics
Analysis | The implied threats in Trump’s tweets about CNN and Sinclair
We have such an assortment of media to choose from - from bad to good to biased to whatever - that is a good thing. It may not be perfect, it may not always be honest or right or whatever (but often that is in the eye of the beholder) - but it is there and they are free to report and we are free to read. The laws surrounding media have a very high bar to meet - libel, slander.
We should be greatful we can complain about it and we should not be wanting the state to become involved.
Let's be clear here,
I have no problem with CNN or BSNBC. There are alternatives for everyone to choose from.
Colleges and Facebook and Google are not the media. Colleges get public funding and as such should welcome ALL public opinions & speech. They are supposed to be places that broaden your mind not close it.
Facebook, Google & the like are a near monopoly and are shutting out half the population with their filter. They claim to be open platforms but are anything but open.
Let's use that Bakery as an example. Obviously they had MANY competitors that were able to provide the services they refused, no where near a monopoly but the left celebrated when they were forced to comply. Yet somehow Facebook, who is a monopoly for all intents and purposes, gets a pass from you. A clear double standard and that was about a cake not free expression.
