Senate passes unanimous resolution avowing a free press

[Claudette]

'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

Balancing the budget doesn't seem to be a priority. Congress renewing its wedding vows with press doesn't serve the People near as much.

The Liberal press has the right to be assholes. Trump has the right to remind Americans that the Liberal press are assholes.

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.

Just like the Clinton news network and MSNBC

Ayup. But the Trump supporters want more. They want government to force Facebook to abide by their wishes.

You speak for Trump supporters now?
I, as a Trump supporter, want them to be fair and balance and if they choose not to be fair and balance to be honest about it so I know I should go somewhere else for my social interactions.

I'm referring to several threads on this board. They speak for themselves.

So the Senate passed a unanimous resolution supporting a free press because the President used his freedopm of speech right to criticize the press interesting.

Trump does not criticize the media, he attacks the media. He doesn't defend his position nor offer any rebuttal. He just follows his role model, Roy Cohn's adivce, never defend, attack, attack, attack..

So are you trying to tell us the media doesn't attack?



Past presidents tried to criticize the media including Obama, some ignored the hate they spewed or made jokes of it, did that work?


It's just fire fighting fire with firefire that upsets the left.

BTW everyone loves a good under guy story but it appears when your the bad guy the left doesn't like it much .


.

.

Yes, it absolutely does work for the president to ignore attacks from the media, attend the correspondence dinner and get roasted, but most of all shoot straight with the media, and regardless of attacks remain a prince and gentlemen. So the image of the president becomes that of a leader who is above criticisms and does not stoop to engage in petty verbal battles.

The biggest mistake Trump has made since he became president is attempting to fight it out blow for blow with the media. That's a battle the president can't win. All the media needs from Trump is good copy and more battles with the media just makes more good copy.

It's not a mistake, we enjoy it ... Nothing better then go toe to toe with a bunch of bullies and watch them cry wolf

No one is against the free press or the first amendment.

Other than the leftists trying to silence conservatives or conservative wannabes

Well, no, that's a misunderstanding of what free press and the first amendment are all about. Ironically, if the government stepped in and forced Facebook to front Alex Jones (for example), that WOULD be a violation of the First Amendment. Simply put, the first amendment only applies to government, not to privately held businesses. Republicans used to get this.

Yep, it includes them all, false and misleading news, conspiracy theories, and out right liars. Having a free media is disturbing as it was meant to be.

If running with conspiracy theories prevented protection of the free press, then any news agency running Russian collusion would no longer be protected

I know that the first amendment applies only to government. But private censorship is censorship nonetheless. You can’t argue that you are for the Free Press when you support censorship.

Now that that isn’t to say government should get involved. They shouldn’t. What’s ironic is this is exactly what these net neutrality laws these people are pushing were supposed to prevent

You mentioned the First Amendment. If you're walking that back, great. No one's rights are being violated.

Alex Jones has stated that he is a 'Performance Artist', not a reporter. His show and 'InfoWars' are satires with no more basis in reality and truth than The Onion.

Not fake news: InfoWars' Alex Jones is a 'performance artist,' his lawyer says

Those who believe what he says are fools extraordinaire.

He is not a member of the press and he is responsible for any damages he causes.

I just want the Libtard press to grow the fuck up and get cured of their Trump Derangement Syndrome mental illness.

I remember that asshole Obama and that shithead Crooked Hillary bitching about Fox News. Not too long ago the filthy ass Liberals in this country wanted to invoke the FCC rules in order to shut down Conservative talk radio.

The free press and truth have never been the friend of the Left because the Left exist on lies and dishonesty..

The Liberals in this country would do away with the freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the right to keep and bear arms in a heartbeat in order to further their agenda to make this country a socialist shithole.

 

[sartre play]

. Agree with both sides that unbiased information is hard to get. the problem as I see it is that to many people choice to only hear what they already agree with. and solid confirmed information is much is much harder to get. if you even care enough to try & confirm the information given.

Really? The left says a baker for not making a cake for gays is violating rights, yet you can be banned off of social media and that's not a violation of rights?
