Trump attacking Free Speech

[Billiejeens]

Yeah, me. VOA, like every other Federal agency is so corrupted by Leftists that it's irredeemable.

Not that hard. Trashing American Policy is anti-American, particularly when its to our enemies. Disagreement inside our country is one thing, but telling our allies and enemies that we are not a reliable partner is a matter of opinion by the left, not a matter of truth. It is pure anti-American agitprop.

The Constitution supports free speech of the citizens and private organizations like the media. A government entity that takes taxpayer money is answerable to the people and in this case, that is the President of the United States.

No on in America would disagree with holding VOA to pro American information and it is only a tiny minority that thinks its okay to trash America to our friends and enemies simply because they are a member of a hate cult.

The entire purpose of the Executive Branch is to deal with foreign relations and the VOA does exactly that and they WILL so so in accordance to the President, regardless of what party that President belongs, or they can face dismissal.

The VOA refused to answer to the people, it can simply be eliminated.

You are so blind-by-choice in favor of Trump, that you will spin anything he does as being correct.
.
Bottom line is that he is taking steps to shut the opposition-to-what-he-is-doing down.

Anytime that occurs, it is an attack on Free Speech. We all have the right to give our opinions. Trump has no right to shut us down because doesn't like them, or even if HE believes they are anti-American. Free Speech allows all opinions.

We have Constitutional ways to address all of this controversy. That is what should be done. It is not up to you to say it is right what he is doing. He is shutting down a media that has represented our beliefs for ages and that means that he is going against what every other president for the past 83 years has supported and his reasons for doing it (they are against me) is not a Constitutional reason for us to allow him to do it.

Define Leftists vs Rightists and then back it up with the Constitution. Prove your point

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.

Of course this is false.

You can provide no evidence whatsoever that any of these groups are political arms of the DNC.

On the other hand, Fox has been a political arm of the GOP ever since it went on the air, which is what Roger Ailes intended (and he said so)

Show us in the Constitution where the government has the responsibility to operate a state media apparatus.

No, Trump is lucky enough to agree with me and that's why I support him

You are so blind, by choice, in a hate cult of Trump that you will take anything he says or does and make it out to be nefarious and criminal.

The Bottom line is that he is taking steps to make the US government pro-America, as it should be. I'm sorry that hurts your feelings.

I have several issues with Trump that I disagree with, but I will never see you, or any leftist on this forum, EVER take a stand against the Democrats or any recognized Democrat leader.

So, frankly, I don't care what you believe.

If it cannot be pro-American and pro-American policy, the VOA needs to go away. It is well beyond its usefulness now, anyway.

I can provide it, but to you? I'll just point you to their websites and laugh as you fail to see it.

Who decides if it is "anti-American" propaganda? Trump?

Here is the definition of Free Speech:

Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

No, it is not supposed to be "the voice of the president". It is supposed to be the voice of the Constitution and the Democracy it represents.

When you allow it to be the voice of ONE MAN, then it is simply his opinion and not the opinion of the nation. That is called a Dictatorship.

If he wants the definition of Free Speech changed, that has to be done through the votes of the nation (on the subject itself) and with the approval of the Supreme Court.

Mail your check to VOA, free speech requires it.

 

[TimFitz]

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

Yes. He loses in court every time he tries.

 

[TimFitz]

I can provide it, but to you? I'll just point you to their websites and laugh as you fail to see it.

So, you have nothing.

 

[TimFitz]

Yes, Zuckerberg said he was threatened by the Biden administration. FactCheck TRUE.

No, you don’t. Biden never threatened Zuckerberg. He made a request

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Why should taxpayers in a split country have to fund left wing lunatic programming?

left wing lunatic programming? That is idiotic. You people think that any reporting that does not kiss Trumps ass and repeats his lies is left wing lunacy. You're obviously ignorant of VoA's history and purpose.

 

[Darkwind]

So, you have nothing.

If you want to believe that, go ahead. After all, you think that the Democrats are patriotic so...

You are one of those stupid father fuckers who thinks that the world started when candidate Trump came down the escalator, aren't you?
