    Because there are men with guns who wouldn’t like that. And typically, media people aren’t the kind who own and use guns. So they tend to be scared about covering things that the men with guns strongly dislike.

        Will the congressman personally guarantee the safety of every media figure that reports on this? Legal rights are a nice fiction, they don’t actually protect you.

            It sure is a good thing that the 2 largest social media sites aren’t owned by billionaires who are backing Trump.

          Sure if you can show me that’s necessary. Things are bad, but I’m not sure if they’re federal agents openly executing reporters bad.

          The truth is nobody is reporting because all of our media is owned by corporate conglomerates. Their owners don’t want them to report

          I’m not even saying that cops haven’t harassed reporters before, they absolutely have, and yet reporters still did their jobs until recently
