Trump attacking Free Speech

[AntonToo]

Slander is usually illegal.

CNN and MS-DNC ARE political arms of the DNC and as such, they need to have their filing status changed to a 527 advocacy license.

Is FOX news a political arm of the RNC?

 

[Darkwind]

Is FOX news a political arm of the RNC?

FoxNews, has often criticized both parties and will often take a standard for law based policies in both their news reporting and opinion reporting.

CNN, MS-DNC, ABC, CBS, NBC, et al do not have news reporting, though they claim it. But their opinion reporting and their news reporting lean 100% DNC.

 

[AntonToo]

CNN and MSDNC are politically biased and they slant their coverage against trump and conservatives

Which for the most part is not illegal

FOX NEWS is a politically biased outlet that slants their coverage against Democrats.

Tell me again which part of that is illegal.

 

[AntonToo]

FoxNews, has often criticized both parties

So have CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC - and?

What's the actual legal standard?

We are going to have 5% criticism minimum quota that a media outlet needs to give to every party?

 

[Darkwind]

So have CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC - and?

In the past 12 years, they have not. Even when they claim the Democrats are out of step, they never state when Trump correct. Never.

 

[AntonToo]

In the past 12 years, they have not.

Here is a tiny example of CNN criticizing Democrats:

CNN commentator says 'Democrats are a mess,' need to 'get it together' to fight Trump

CNN commentator S.E. Cupp says while the right has "chaos," Democrats "are a mess." In recent days, Democrats have made news criticizing members of their own party.

So yes, they have. So what are you talking about in terms of actual law?

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 is a con artist trying to become Dictator

He reminds me of my mother-----she was a child of the depression and liked to find ways to save money---I have lots of sibs---she had
to resort to sophistry to justify her penny pinching ways. I am not sure his REASONS for defunding are based on ideology other than
his mad desire to BALANCE THE BUDGET.

You don't comprehend what you read often do you?

They rarely criticize Democrats, but they NEVER agree with Trump. Ever.

The same way some Democrats, though rarely, will disagree with each other. NOT ONE TIME will you find a Democrat agree with Trump or any Republican.

That is the very definition of an advocacy group, of which the main stream media is.

 

[luiza]

You are right Mucky

Trumpfy is dong a smashing job .
Smashing corruption and smashing Troll Bots like you .

You might as well be asleep in bed for all the notice that anybody is taking of you.

It's all about Trumpfy the Triumphant .

 

[Marener]

Threats are not action

Trump cant lock libs up for calling him a poopyhead

But he can respond to their insults with harsh language of his own

Threats are illegal. Trump’s statement is contradictory to the first amendment but you don’t care.

Your opinion is noted, but it lacks relevance. First amendment doesn’t care about whether they agree or not.

 

[Marener]

It is not. We have seen that the President does not have the power to prosecute people directly.

Of course he does. He’s the president. How could he not?

 

[Darkwind]

Your opinion is noted, but it lacks relevance. First amendment doesn’t care about whether they agree or not.

The First Amendment speaks directly to Congress.

The relevance is that Congress shall not make any law abridging the freedom of speech for the CITIZENS, not the government.

VOA is a government agency.

VOA is a government agency.

Nonetheless, he is shutting down an agency that has been around for 83 years and that has been supported by all presidents (both Republican and Democrats) for the simple reason that VOA represents everything our nation has ever been for (meaning Democracy).

By shutting down the agency, he is in fact trying to shut down the voice of Democracy.

 

[Mac-7]

Tell me again which part of that is illegal.

I dont think it is illegal

 

[Mac-7]

Nonsense

 

[MisterBeale]

Let us just say that it is a "step" in the direction in stopping free speech.

When the Trump administration starts shutting down "journalists," that aren't paid and run by the bureaucracy?


. . . then you can post a thread 'bout Trump assaulting free speech.

 

[Luckyone]

The First Amendment speaks directly to Congress.

The relevance is that Congress shall not make any law abridging the freedom of speech for the CITIZENS, not the government.

VOA is a government agency.

and all of our previous governments (both Republican and Democrat) have supported it.

Trump is the first to say "I don't support it because "I" do not like what they are saying",

 

[Thinker101]

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

Lost connection to reality? Save it for your Democrat buddies.

 

[Marener]

Nonsense

If the authorities told you that you were breaking the law, would that affect your behavior?
