Trump attacking Free Speech

Trump moves to close down Voice of America​

US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back federally funded news organization Voice of America, accusing it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical".

Mike Abramowitz, VOA's director, said he and virtually his entire staff of 1,300 people had been put on paid leave.

Trump campaigned for Free Speech and yet his actions so far, have been against it. He said at the joint address to Congress a week ago:

Trump campaigned as a protector of free speech but critics say his actions threaten it​

DENVER (AP) — When President Donald Trump gave his joint address to Congress last week, he boasted that in his first few weeks back in the White House he had “brought free speech back to America.”

But First Amendment advocates say they’ve never seen freedom of speech under attack the way it has been in Trump’s second term.

Trump’s Republican administration has threatened Democratic members of Congress with investigation for criticizing conservatives, pulled federal grants that include language it opposes, sanctioned law firms that represent Trump’s political opponents and arrested the organizer of student protests that Trump criticized as “anti-Semitic, anti-American.”

“Your right to say something depends on what the administration thinks of it, which is no free speech at all,” said Will Creeley, legal director of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a nonpartisan First Amendment group.

Well, they're not obedient MAGA, so they're evil commie.

Them's the rules.

What does free speech have to do with govt media? The govt doesnt have constitutional rights.
Still amazes me how many people dont understand free speech or the bill of rights, in general.

Government broadcasting is not free speech.

Trump already declared news agencies who criticize him too much to be illegal.

Isn’t that a violation of the first amendment?

Until he actually does something, it isn't.

 

[Marener]

Until he actually does something, it isn't.

Why? Its clearly coercion.

 

[martybegan]

No, it isn't.

Coercion was what was done behind the scenes by regulators to social media companies out not saying the wu flu came from a lab.

 

[Marener]

No, it isn't.

They didn’t actually do anything to social media companies so by your standard it can’t be coercive.

They didn’t even threaten anything like Trump did. Trump went further by floating government persecution of media.

So not only do you know nothing about fraud and criminality by big pharma, you don’t know about the Twitter Files either. Lol.

Why bother posting when you know nothing? Shouldn’t you get informed on an issue before posting?

Ops. I forgot. You’re a paid poster and a propagandist for the establishment.

And you’re a fringe weirdo who spends too much time on the internet that you’ve lost connection to reality.

Lol. That’s you.

Shutting down a govt sponsored “news” agency isn’t an attack on free speech.

 

[Marener]

Lol. That’s you.

No. You’re one of those weirdos that thinks medications and vaccines don’t work to prevent and treat illness.

I guess you’re going to stick with, like, crystals or something? Maybe you think all you really need to do is eat beets. I don’t know. You’re always so reluctant to actually tell people what you think or why because you know it’s so fringe.

BULLSHIT.
Not according to Zuckerberg.
All you do is twist and lie.
Marxists lie like normal people breathe.

VOA is not "free" speech. It's costing the US taxpayers $267.5 million dollars per year and all it does is tell the world how much you liberals hate this country, in more than 45 languages.

If you want "free speech", go stand on the sidewalk and yell at people. Otherwise STFU.
