Absolutely. Freedom of speech was never intended to mean that the media can be biased one way or the other. Break 'em up, diossolve 'em, lock 'em up if they resist. There's more than one swamp that needs draining.
The press has always been biased, one way or the other. The difference in the past was that both sides were represented and were very clear about which side they favored.
Exactly. The way that they're behaving now is totally unprecedented. I cannot wait for Trump to have Jake Tapper arrested for disrespecting the government and lying to the people.
This is the USA, not Russia, Venezuela or China, so what you're suggesting is not done for those reasons.
Jeez, kid, what's up witchoo?
Then why did the founders specifically lay out a section on Treason in the Constitution? IMO severely underused.
You go find me, specifically, the "section" of the Constitution that lays out the President's authority to arrest a Jake Tapper or any other news-person on the grounds of Treason for "disrespecting the government and lying to the people".
It's been found by the courts. Ever heard of the phrase "you can't yell FIRE in a crowded theater". No, that specific phrase isn't in the Constitution, it was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes in the case "Schenk Vs United States".
Here's the full quote: "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent."
Jake Tapper is and his lies are a clear and present danger to America. President Trump has called the media what it is, the "Enemy of the American People". He was setting the groundwork. When the time is right he will punish all of them.
