The United States, once a champion of free expression, is now led by a man who says things like this:
“We certainly don’t want to stifle free speech, but ... I don’t think that the mainstream media is free speech ... because it’s so crooked. So, to me, free speech is not when you see something good and then you purposely write bad. To me, that’s very dangerous speech and you become angry at it.”
You Trumpanzee morons elected fuckin' Tarzan as your president.
You write bad about good. It dangerous, me angry.
"To me''?. Well, you dumb bastard, that's WHY we have a Bill of Rights and an appropriately prudent, drawn out, amendment process. So that you and the rest of the 'to me' geniuses have a chance, slim though it be with such limited cognitive skills, to be informed on the issue(s) at hand.
Really? Seeing something that the government claims is good and pointing out why it is bad is an essential function of journalism. Indeed, it is one of democracy’s most crucial safeguards. President Donald Trump cannot censor the media in America, but his words contribute to a global climate of contempt for independent journalism. Censorious authoritarians elsewhere often cite Mr Trump’s catchphrases, calling critical reporting “fake news” and critical journalists “enemies of the people”.
