In response to a threat by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Daily Herald has discontinued publishing and distributing the Local Government Information Services (LGIS) newspapers, effective Thursday Sept. 22.

The existential threat to independent journalism is Democrats (and assistant Democrats).
They are enemies of human existence not just freedom.

Obviously in accordance with the 1st Amendment “Freedom of the Press”...

Petty tyrant Fatzker can’t take the very effective criticism of his SAFE-T Act, which after January 1st is going to turn his state into a warring cartel zone with no-cash-bail for arson and other delightful crimes.

Does Gov. Fatso own the Daily Herald?
If not, this threat means nothing.

A proud member of the Confederate party acting like a proud member of the Confederate party. Nothing has changed since 1861.

He may have been concerned that one of the papers would publish a story his cousin who calls itself Jennifer.

Why is it that 99% of people who use the term “existential threat” don’t understand the meaning of the word “existential”?
It’s become a mere emphasis word stripped of its original denotation, like “literally” or “unique”.

If the press, by and large, weren’t such whores for the left, I would feel bad about this. But I don’t.

What style of government is it, where instead of simply nationalizing private businesses, the gov't controls their actions by threats and edicts?
I know it, I just can't place the name ... reminds of this Italian guy ...
