"if that side’s argument is based on lies or pushes harmful agendas"
So the self-appointed judge of "lies or pushes harmful agendas" will decide if I can have my First Amendment Rights?
That jerk might want to step aside and avoid my megaphone being stuck in his ear.

This is what they're learning from our universities these days and it's got to be stopped. The train of fairness and tolerance has jumped the trestle and gone over the bridge thanks to leftist snot noses like this jackass egged on by the leftist indoctrination imparted in the ivy league schools.
Yeah, I've had enough.
Tom Jones believes in democracy, the liberal way.
He would allow others’ opinions, as long as those opinions agree with his opinions.
The International Symbol of Democracy
“The reason for the polarization is because on a large number of major issues each side believes the discussion needs to end because they have come to the correct conclusion.”
This is because those issues are what I call “civilization-defining issues”. There can be no compromise, no “splitting the baby in half” on those issues, because they are matters that people will tend towards an absolute position on, one way or the other, based on their fundamental worldview and conception of morality. The best example of this type of issue in previous American politics is slavery. I’m sure there were people decrying the polarization of the country in 1850, and hoping that both sides would find some compromise, but those types of people, we can now easily see in retrospect, were the short-sighted fools, and the ones who were drawing the battle lines were the ones who could see clearly that the issue needed to be settled before society could ever move past it.
The clearly stated opposition to parts of the 1965 Civil Rights Act by Sen Barry Goldwater was given full and pretty fair media coverage. Today, a senator that was oppositional to LGBQT extra rights would be subject to attempts to have the Senate expel him. That is the distance we have come.
That phrase is all over the place.
Liberals always just fall back to “SHUT UP!” whenever they hear something that challenges their worldview
What freedoms of the press have you in mind? Freedom of the press for which class?—the bourgeoisie or the proletariat? If it is a question of freedom of the press for the bourgeoisie, then it does not and will not exist here as long as the proletarian dictatorship exists.Guess whose thinking Jones’ aligns with.

If the mediacrats want to behave unethically, maybe the first amendment rights of the press need to be rescinded if they fail to do their job. They have only one job which is the oversight of government for the people. Failing to do that, they are opinion commentators and should have every broadcast labeled as such.
