Kash won't be happy about this.

The leftists are the ones who started that trend, with their attacks on leading conservative journalists like James O'Keefe and Alex Jones.

Now they are afraid the worm has turned and they will have to live by the same rules they imposed on others.

Alex Jones is a "journalist"?? Holy shit!! Really??

Bipartisan Group Officially Introduces Bill To Protect Journalists That Was First Reported By TPM​

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Kevin Kiley (R-CA) on Thursday officially introduced federal anti-SLAPP legislation, meant to protect journalists and other critics from frivolous lawsuits, particularly of the sort that are expected under the new Trump regime.

I broke the news of the existence of the legislation, and the plan to introduce it, last week. SLAPP stands for strategic lawsuit against public participation, and wealthy people often use them to chill criticism, bury their critics in legal fees and force them to divulge sensitive information during discovery. There is a patchwork of anti-SLAPP measures at the state level, but no federal law; some federal appellate courts don’t allow defendants to use state anti-SLAPP protections, incentivizing those who file these suits to forum shop.

“The rich and powerful are all too willing to use the legal system to bludgeon reporters, activists and whistleblowers with expensive lawsuits, even if the claims have no merit,” Wyden said in a statement.

“Goliath triumphs over David in our justice system when powerful special interests can silence their critics with frivolous strategic lawsuits against public participation, or ‘SLAPPs,’” Raskin added.

This isn't going to be helpful........if it passes........in Patel's pursuit of silencing and or intimidating media critics of Baby Donald. The author of a propagandist children's book has announced his intention of ushering in a police state with respect to journalists not in the habit of fawning praise for Dear Leader.

Here is another opportunity for congressional Repubs to either honor the Constitution or bend over for the Orange Menace.

You understand that you are insane, yes?

Alex Jones never was, isn't, and never will be a Conservative, or a journalist.

Should it be? Don't like the 1st A?

I liked the 1st when Government instructed social media to shadow ban and outright ban anything not 100% pro-Democratic Narrative.

You did not.

You did not.

I liked when the FBI told their agents to go after parents using their 1A at board meetings to arrest them as terrorists. Demofks are so fun

 

[Billiejeens]

And he was taken out.

Berg?

 

[berg80]

I believe demofks did this already!

I'll add that to the list of your stupidly, misguided beliefs.

 

[Billiejeens]

Of course we will say it, it has been proven they did, you friggin commie!

It is amazing that anyone today can be as totally out of touch as Mac claims to be.

 

[Billiejeens]

I'll add that to the list of your stupidly, misguided beliefs.

They admitted to it.

 

[jc456]

Berg?

who knows, that moment's over. LOL. felt right at the time. hahahaahahaha. Wasn't directed at you though.

Most will side with Trump and fascism.

You don’t know what fascism is, since you can’t post a receipt

Where have dems been for the last four years? All of a sudden they care about "journalists" who lied to the American public about Biden's mental health for the last four years> No surprises here.

 

[Lastamender]

The first thing an authoritarian regime wants to do is intimidate and shut down opposing speech. That's the template, and it works like a charm.

Say that to a Trumpster, and they'll have to deflect and claim that Biden intimidated and shut down media, which is a lie. Except in their distorted minds.

They want this. Evidently, they always have.

That is what Biden did. Why the double standard, hack?

Meaningless stunt.

It will get nowhere in the House, stupid.

 

[d0gbreath]

The demented LEFT are completely in a PANIC.
Blanket pre-pardons, and this attempt to cycle the wagons for their lap-dog presstitutes are clear examples that they KNOW the Jig is up, and there's a new sheriff in town ready to KICK ASS.
How fucking PATHETIC.

If you look closely, you'll see that it's structured resistance, not panic at all.
