Freedom of the Press? Not Any More

[dblack]

The First Amendment took a hit before Trump47 came on the scene.
Look at what Biden was doing with it during his reign.
Remember Rosen under the Obama reign?

Welp, I guess that makes it ok.

Do you think prosecuting journalists for what they write is Constitutional?

Imagine the juvenile mind of someone who banned one the leading news agencies in the world, the AP, over its refusal to stop using the name Gulf of Mexico for the Gulf of Mexico.

Oh really? What kinds of things can’t be written about

See?
Your knowledge of 1st amendment jurisprudence approaches nil.

 

[blackhawk]

Oh really? What kinds of things can’t be written about and is that what Trump is talking about??

Can the press print lies about people or events? No not without potential legal consequences.
Can they publish classified information about covert operations if they come in possession of them? Again no not without the potential of legal consequences. If you accused a neighbor of being pedophile without proof could legal action be taken against you? Yes as I said freedom of speech does not mean freedom from responsibility or consequences anyone to stupid to understand this is beyond help.

Your statement is a lie

Trump:
“Those lying to the American People on behalf of violent criminals have to be held responsible by the Agencies and the Courts,”
Those lying to the American people

Why do you disagree with him?

No he illegally used a third party to censure journalists so that he could claim it wasn't the Government.

Trump Threatens Prosecution For Fact-Based Reporting On Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The president suggested the justice system should retaliate against those who deviate from his own misleading message.

Might as well just toss the Constitution as long as Trump is Prez

^^^Says the guy flying the flag of a country where the opposition press is outlawed.

I don’t but we saw the Biden administration go after the press and try get them to kill stories they didn’t like which was done under the guise of misinformation. Interestingly few if any on the left were concerned about those attempts to stifle the press and some in the press were willing to go along with them. Those who talk about attacks on free speech generally only care when it’s happening to those they agree with when it’s those they don’t they are fine with it.

There’s nothing fact based about you

The 1st guarantees a free press. In my experience there's never been one, except for the underground newspapers back in my Yippie days.

So Biden didn’t threatened to put journalist in jail

No they pressured them to kill stories they didn’t like which in some cases the media did last I checked no journalists are in jail on Trumps orders.
