Redefining the 1st Amendment

[pbf98]

Anyone else been reading about how there are senators out there that want to define who is a "real" journalist.

And if you're not in the category of being a "real" journalist, you don't have full access to the "special privilege" (the first amendment)

Person that is fronting this is Diane Feinstein

Thoughts on this?

First thought, I expected to see Feinstein headlining it.

Second thought, it'll be a bipartisan movement and both sides will jump on it while publicly espousing their desire to protect our rights.

Third thought: They do this every few years. Also, "I told you so" to about 3-4 dozen people over the last two years.

Of course this will be a bipartisan effort. Independent media makes it harder for the government to lie and cover things up. They do what journalists and the press are supposed to do. The dinosaur media (CNN, NBC, etc) are so intermixed with the government that all they do is spread government propaganda, not the truth. They don't bother to investigate anything or report the truth any more.

As more and more people wake up to what is going on viewership is rapidly declining for the propaganda outlets, and increasing for news outlets. The government doesn't control the independent news outlets so of course they want to shut down anyone they can't control that exposes their lies and corruption.

And this right here is why I oppose gun regulations.

If they could make us unarmed peasants like they really want, this wouldn't be discussed, they'd just do it.

Peasants don't really suit the whole 21st Century economy thing.

If you mean shitty wages however, well that battle has been one in the US a long time ago by 'them'. And the lower classes are kept distracted by 'threats' against their guns and such.
