why do democrats pretend to care about the constitution

[TNHarley]

Nobody knows what you’re talking about (that includes you).

Why do Republicans call the press (whose freedom is covered in the first amendment of the Constitution) the “enemy of the people”?

Donald John Trump might be Republican but he is as RINO as they come...

To say all Republicans when it is just a select few show the board how you view those you disagree with and even if you did not state all it is clear what you meant is every Republican think the Press is the enemy of the people.

Now I do believe Political Spin Doctors and Propaganda News Sites like FOX, CNN and MSNBC are bias in their reporting of the news...

Perhaps you’d like to address the OP (if you haven’t) when he makes blanket statements about Democrats?

Its like 90 percent of dems. A broad bush is required.

Just like 90 percent of Republicans think the press is the “enemy of the people”. A broad brush is required.

I would bet its that high or higher. Even some outside the duopoly think that.
Using "republicans are bad" doesnt hurt my OP as i despise them too.

Dear candycorn

There is a HUGE difference between the NEUTRAL freedom of the press
and the "corporate lobbies" connected with political parties and interests on both sides
that are biasing media outlets.

The same way CORPORATIONS bypassed checks and balances by claiming PERSONHOOD,
MEDIA CORPORATIONS have done similar.

This is no longer free speech and press, which being equally accessible CHECKS ITSELF.
But the complaints are directed at PAID LOBBYING WITHOUT ANY CHECK ON FALSE ADVERTISING OR MISREPRESENTATION.

That's not free speech or press, but the abuse of it to SLANDER and commit FRAUD.
Those are CIVIL VIOLATIONS (if not criminal conspiracy to violate rights)
which freedom of speech and of the press were never intended to be used for.

Republicans call the press (whose freedom is covered in the first amendment) the "enemy of the people".
Democrats do not do that.

Therefore it is Republicans who are taking a dump on the Constitution.

Dear candycorn
You and these Republicans are NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING.

Republicans and conservatives are complaining about the BIASED POLITICAL LOBBYING
and misrepresentation going unchecked because of media bias.

They are demanding and forming their own networks
to reclaim their own Freedom of the Press.

So they aren't complaining about their own use of free press!

They complain about the biased media sources
that are no longer neutral journalism but have become political propoganda.

Where you and I might agree candycorn
I HAVE jumped all over Conservatives calling them "Snowflakes"
for whining about Facebook which is a free service by a PRIVATE company.

I DO hold conservatives to their OWN standards,
and not complaining about free services if they aren't paying for them!

If they demand rights of companies to not serve "gay wedding cakes"
against the owners' beliefs, I argue that Facebook has the right
to refuse service to things against their beliefs provided they are honest about that policy.

The complaints against online companies is if they MISREPRESENT
their policies when accepting payment from advertisers or account holders to broadcast or
publish their materials. so if they become FRAUDULENT or breach contracts
that's one thing. But for free service, as long as it's a private company,
I believe they just have to have users sign a disclaimer to use those services and they can't complain!

Expressing thoughts is shitting on the constitution?

Wanting to limit the freedom of the press is unconstitutional by definition.

Dear candycorn
But freedom of speech and of the press does NOT mean
permitting VIOLATIONS OF LAWS to go unchecked such as
* misrepresentation
* slander or libel
* DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER
* fraud
* false advertising*
or other related felonies such as certain abuses of federal communications
and conspiracy to violate civil rights that become felonious.
(*NOTE the main reason people do not go after parties and campaigns
for false statements is the legal costs and burden of proof. It's not that
this is lawful or acceptable, but too hard for individuals to police because of prohibitive
legal costs and complications involved in long drawn out cases due to the backlog in the process.
I know that Sylvestor Turner won a lawsuit over defamatory campaigns, but it took
so many years that winning could not reverse the damage done in that election season,
so most people cannot afford the money or time to invest in taking action after the fact)

You have freedom of speech and press, but these cannot
be abused to violate OTHER civil rights and laws.
Even the Bill of Rights warns against abusing the "enumeration"
of laws to DISPARAGE other rights, including DUE PROCESS.

Example: You cannot abuse "free speech/press" to
PUNISH people WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAWS
to first PROVE they are guilty of what they are accused of.

To state this as a "fact" becomes slander or libel,
or Defamation of Character.

candycorn this is why Sarah Palin and
Melania Trump have won court cases
because of misrepresentation in public media
that caused damages and/or defamation.
