'In a uniform decision Thursday, the U.S. Senate voted to "reaffirm the vital and indispensable role the free press serves."

Why it matters: The resolution comes on the heels of a nationwide push by hundreds of local and national newspapers to publish editorials standing up for the press in response to President Trump's claims the press is an "enemy of the people."'

Senate passes unanimous resolution avowing a free press

Good for the Senate.

Why good for the senate?

The 'passed' a statement. It changes nothing. They can say anything they want, it is actions that matter and this has no action.

We already have a CONSTITUTION that guarantees a free press, right?

We already have LAWS that protect this Constitutional right, right?

Hey, here's an idea.....tomorrow, why don't we pass some useless POS resolution avowing FREE SPEECH?!

Man, when are folks gonna get it? Credible American Journalism is dead. It's all only 24/7 opinion propaganda now. It isn't 'News.' Tune into CNN or NBC right now, and i'm sure there's some nutter on there screeching about Trump being a 'Nazi Racist.' Or viciously attacking his wife and children. How can folks consider that News?

Does that include Alex Jones and Infowars? Does it include those that have had their youtube channels deleted from the web? Facebook deletions of citizen journalists that do the job that the lamestream "Operation Mockingbird" media refuses to do because six conglomerates own 90 percent of what is printed and aired????

Alex Jones isn’t a reporter and is not an member of the press. He is an actor, an entertainer and a provocateur.

yep. Dragon lady mentioned earlier that Alex jones is not a journalist, which is true

Neither is Rachel Maddox or any other person working for the express purpose of taking down a president.

We have a free press but this grandstanding gesture had more to do with trying to intimidate those who criticize it for the way it is agenda driven rather than journalistic in nature

Yeah, i've had to conclude that credible American Journalism is dead. Tune into CNN and NBC right now, it's not News. It's rabid ugly opinion propaganda. So when i see the Press whining, it definitely falls on deaf ears.

The American MSM News lies more than Politicians do. Trump currently has a much higher approval rating than it does. Who trusts big Corporate Media at this point? I know i don't.

Virtue signaling, nothing more.

When the President's people are 'signalling' that Truth isn't Truth....such a resolution becomes a might bit more.

The fact that such a resolution of basic constitutional principles is necessary today is yet another in an endless swamp of fetid demonstrations of the depth and severity of the corruption of this president.

He's already had his people float the idea that the President should have the power to shutdown any news agency the president deems is propagating 'fake news'.

With a full 43% of republicans polled supporting empowering the President to shut down any news agency that is engaged in 'bad behavior'.

Resolutions such as those passed by the Senate are necessary due to the loathsome and rampant corruption of the President and how eager many republicans are to grant the President unprecedented powers to attack the press.

Pretty hilarious watching Communists/Democrats pretending to care about the Constitution. They really must think all Americans are dumb. Communists despise our Constitution. And i'm confident most Americans know that.

Until something actual happens it's nothing but words, and no constitutional violation. Dems have been bitching about "doing something" about Fox News for a decade now with nothing actually happening, where was your angst about that?

And you keep using the word corruption without any evidence of actual corruption.

How about you just say you don't like him or his policies? Why do you feel the need to create figments of criminal acts via the word corruption?

This administration is so corrupt the president's lawyers need lawyers a this point.

His campaign is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for collusion with Russia...which the President admitted to. Trump himself is reluctant to testify for fear he will perjure himself. His former Campaign chair is on trial as we speak, his deputy campaign chair has plead guilty to numerous crimes, with his former foreign policy adviser and national security adviser.

Trump's own son was recorded by Spanish authorities arranging a meeting with Russian Intelligence Handler Alexander Torshin during the campaign. The same son that arranged a meeting with a Russian operative in Trump Tower, after being told that the information he would receive was part of the Russian government's efforts to aid Trump.

And Cohen, Trump's former lawyer (a man who just arranged his own plea deal with the FBI) admitting that Trump was fully aware of the meeting. A meeting Trump has lied about repeatedly, has compelled others to lie by personally dictating a statement on the meeting filled with lies, with Trump trying to shut down the investigation into the meeting between an operative from Russia and his own campaign.

The level of corruption in this campaign and administration are unprecedented.

But you ignore all this. A rational person wouldn't. And Mueller certainly won't.

Until something actual happens it's nothing but words, and no constitutional violation. Dems have been bitching about "doing something" about Fox News for a decade now with nothing actually happening, where was your angst about that?

And you keep using the word corruption without any evidence of actual corruption.

The president's lawyers need lawyers. His campaign is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for collusion with Russia...which the President admitted to. Trump himself is reluctant to testify for fear he will perjure himself. His former Campaign chair is on trial as we speak, his deputy campaign chair has plead guilty to numerous crimes, with his former foreign policy adviser and national security adviser.

Trump's own son was recorded by Spanish authorities arranging a meeting with Russian Intelligence Handler Alexander Torshin during the administration. The same son that arranged a meeting with a Russian operative in Trump Tower, after being told that the information he would receive was part of the Russian government's efforts to aid Trump.

And Cohen, Trump's former lawyer (a man who just arranged his own plea deal with the FBI) admitting that Trump was fully aware of the meeting. A meeting Trump has lied about repeatedly, has compelled others to lie by personally dictating a statement on the meeting filled with lies, with Trump trying to shut down the investigation into the meeting between an operative from Russia and his own campaign.

The level of corruption in this campaign and administration are unprecedented.

But you ignore all this. A rational person wouldn't. And Mueller certainly won't.

Lay off the Democrat Fake News, kid. Trump has done nothing to 'silence' Democrat Fake News. They've been completely free to rant & rave about him being a 'Racist Nazi.' Stop going all-in on Democrat propaganda. It's rotting your brain. :cuckoo:

When the President's people are 'signalling' that Truth isn't Truth....such a resolution becomes a might bit more.

The fact that such a resolution of basic constitutional principles is necessary today is yet another in an endless swamp of fetid demonstrations of the depth and severity of the corruption of this president.

How is he violating the constitution by bashing a press that bashes him?

He's already had his people float the idea that the President should have the power to shutdown any news agency the president deems is propagating 'fake news'.

With a full 43% of republicans polled supporting empowering the President to shut down any news agency that is engaged in 'bad behavior'.

This administration is so corrupt the president's lawyers need lawyers a this point.\

And the best you got so far is a tax evasion case that looks like it is heading to a hung jury.

You start with hating Trump, then fill in as much shit as you can against him to justify your hatred of him. Any accusation is taken as fact, any leaked information treated as truth as long as it supports the narrative inside your head.

Pathetic.

'In a uniform decision Thursday, the U.S. Senate voted to "reaffirm the vital and indispensable role the free press serves."

Why it matters: The resolution comes on the heels of a nationwide push by hundreds of local and national newspapers to publish editorials standing up for the press in response to President Trump's claims the press is an "enemy of the people."'

Another bullshit poll that people lie through their teeth just to fuck with pollsters ?

But that's exactly why this issue raises concerns. Previously, Republicans have, however meekly, pushed back against the Democrats' desire to socialize anything and everything. But now they're singing the same tune. Short-sighted political ambitions have Republicans talking about "near monopolies" and claiming that Facebook should be treated as a public utility.

I've always said that I worry the most when Democrats and Republicans agree.

There may be a hung jury on 1 of the 18 charges. The rest they've apparently reached a decision.

You start with hating Trump, then fill in as much shit as you can against him to justify your hatred of him. Any accusation is taken as fact, any leaked information treated as truth as long as it supports the narrative inside your head.

Pathetic.

I start with the evidence and move out from there. You start with feeling and emotion and begin your argument.

As demonstrated by our respective posts. I show the evidence of rampant corruption, lies, plea deals, crimes, investigations and russian collusion in the Trump campaign.

And you reply with *feelings* about Trump. While ignoring the evidence entirely. Given the *mountains* of evidence agianst Trump and his people, I can understand why you'd want to double down on emotion rather than face the evidence.

But the unprecedented corruption of this administration, so loathsome that the Senate found it necessary to pass a unanimous resolution reaffirming some of our most basic liberties.....won't change no matter how hard you 'feel' about Trump.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that Communists/Democrats who constantly push for censoring and banning, are pretending to care about our Constitution? Communists despise our Constitution. And i think most Americans know that. This is just another Bullshit scam.

Yep. It's approximately as hilarious as listening to Fascist/Republicans whining about discrimination and demanding that the government force Facebook to accommodate them.
