In December 1997, after the FBI arrested independent journalist James Sanders for investigating the destruction of TWA Flight 800, not a single reporter at a post-arraignment press conference managed to frame even one First Amendment question.

This past week, the progressive establishment attempted to silence two more independents. In the first case, Twitter and Facebook conspired to deny the audacious 25-year-old journalist Laura Loomer her rapidly growing audience. In the second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller lowered the boom on Jerome Corsi, a 72-year-old Harvard Ph.D.

Many of us have wondered what the Corsi persecution (no misspelling) had to do with "Russian influence" in the 1016 election. Looks like nothing; instead, Mueller and his happy band of witch hunters are just trying to get revenge against Corsi for exposing the Traitor Kerry and Obola, the Illegal.

How does everyone not get that unethical Weasel Mueller is largely a one trick, Perjury Trap pony?

“Assault on Citizen Journalism”

More like an assault on freedom of speech and our other constitutional rights.

[Mears]

“By challenging the media’s defense of a Democratic administration, Sanders all but sacrificed his First Amendment rights.”

Unbelievable——and even worse now.

Kievan Rus' (Old East Slavic: Рѹ́сь (Rus' ), Рѹ́сьскаѧ землѧ (Rus'skaya zemlya), Latin: Rus(s)ia, Ruscia, Ruzzia, Rut(h)enia[2][3]) was a loose federation[4] of East Slavic and Finnic peoples in Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century,[5] under the reign of the Varangian Rurik dynasty.[5] The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors,[6] with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it.

The MEDIA is the DEEP STATE.

[YogicCowboy]

Understand:

Leftists are Elitists; thus:

The First only applies to authorized professional journalists and pundits.

The Second only applies to authorized professional soldiers and police.

“The left applauds the silencing and the respectable right pretends not to notice.”

We expect hypocritical attack from the left. But the silence of those on the right is what makes their censorship twice as effective.
