It's Spilling Over Into Our 1st Amendment.

[jackflash]

Our current political state in our USA reminds me somewhat of the WW2 time table. Starts off small with Germany invading Poland on 09/01/39 which starts another European conflict, which then spreads into Russia on 06/22/41. Less than six months later on 12/07/41 the European conflict goes global. What started on the western plains of Poland in 1939 ends up coming to a close half way across the world in Japan on 08/15/45. I used the dates to illustrate a word called 'incrementalism' for it so richly illustrates the current political state of affairs in our America. Power play politick'n in our USA starts out the same as anywhere else on the globe with bickering, insults & snipping turning into push comes shove. When the constituencies federal Constitution(fabric of the society) becomes ensnared into the contest of wills the contest turns into a "no holds barred" contest. Like a pyromaniac playing in a fuel dump this one outta give ALL of us a show to remember!

Lawsuits Take the Lead in Fight Against Disinformation

In just a few weeks, lawsuits and legal threats from a pair of obscure election technology companies have achieved what years of advertising boycotts, public pressure campaigns and liberal outrage could not: curbing the flow of misinformation in right-wing media. Fox Business canceled its...

This has been coming for a decade. Ever since the rise of the Tea Party and then alt-right Internet media. Again, I hate to point this out. But that 1st Amendment is not a blanket protection to say or do whatever you want without fear of repercussion. There are limits to free speech. To be honest, it's about time this section of media was reeled in. It's been allowed to fester and metastasize because they spout lies and disinformation and then run for cover behind that 1st Amendment hoping that people won't come after them out of it being a PIA and not wanting to give them any attention. But over the last few years, right wing media has become an absolute cancer. You can't really call it "conservative" anymore. It all (for the most part) became alt-right, ending up a sludge pit of a conspiracy theory laden mass of built up white grievance. Then, you get what we got on January 6th. For two months, Trump's team was allowed to wander around to battleground states holding pressers next to porn shops and in hotel conference blaring that the election was stolen and the companies who made these voting machines were putting out equipment that was designed to steal votes from the almighty Trump. Didn't seem to affect any other down ballot Republicans but hey, it's all for Trump. Because we need him..to continue to contribute to the mess that our political state has become. So, these companies clapped back...and these lawsuits...have teeth. Sorry, I can't get all weepy for right wing media here. They brought this on themselves. BTW, I don't see anyone going after the National Review, the WSJ, or a bunch of the other conservative publications that have been around for years..and are smart enough not to have got caught up in the disinformation madness.

The European war started on 09/01/39 when Germany invaded Poland. WW2 did not start until 12/08/41 despite the Pearl harbor fiasco happening the day before. With both the Atlantic ocean & the Pacific ocean then in turmoil it can be said the world was @ war. Some historians say that WW2 did not start OFFICIALLY until 12/11/41 when Germany declared war on America.

 

[Decus]

You are deluded if you think it started in 1939.

Funny that you would argue against limitations to free speech started in 1939. Free speech in Britain was only possible in Hyde Park, London, where a speaker was allowed to get up on a box and say whatever they wanted to the few people present.

"Speakers' Corner in London is well known as the home of free speech, where anyone can get on their soapbox and make their voice heard. Whether anyone will listen is of course another matter."

Speakers' Corner: The home of free speech

Photographer Philip Wolmuth on his pictures of London's Speakers' Corner taken over the past 35 years.

Hyde Park in the London is the equivalent of our 1st Amendment in the U.S., except we don't have to go to a park and stand on a soapbox to say what we think - too fking funny.

I see Jack, so outlets reporting anything you disagree with is “disinformation” while outlets you agree with can make shit up with impunity....And you don’t see a problem with this logic?

When a legitimate media source makes a mistake or an error, they print or issue a retraction. If the error is serious enough, people lose their jobs.
That's doesn't happen in alt-right medialand. Again, these outlets are allowed to spew misinformation and present them as facts, hoping that people won't
challenge them because of the money and effort required to combat them, in addition to not wanting to give them more attention.

The media situation in country has been spinning out of control for quite some time. Anytime a countries population allows itself to become split the media also splits. This naturally creates a polarized country & an opportunity for government to step in & seize ever more power over the citizenry in general. It's always been like this clear back to the Akkadian empire. It's in mankind's nature to destroy itself so war for the sake of war is what fuels the passions of mankind. Sad but true.

It began in 1933.. don't you remember when Samuel Untermyer declared war on all things German from the safety of Madison Square Garden in 1933?

There can never have free speech without an impartial media. We will never have free speech again as long as there are companies like CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, Twitter, Google, and Facebook controlling all the information and opinions. Either regulate or break up those companies or lose the foundation of our country. All opinions, like all people are equal.
