He understands. Plus whose freedom of speech is threatened by a crackdown on hate speech and particularly “fake news” - a term worthy of yesteryear’s Pravda.

Did we just have a time warp or something.

I just read, what the CEO of Time/Warner said:

“Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes said Tuesday that the real threat to the First Amendment in the 2016 election had come from Democrats, not from Donald Trump — and that the media had largely missed the threat because of their own partisan bias. Speaking to the Business Insider IGNITION conference in New York City, Bewkes pointed out that the Democratic Party “had a campaign plank to change the First Amendment, and they were doing it in the guise of campaign finance reform.”

“Indeed, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ran on an explicit pledge to change the First Amendment in order to overturn the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling, which held that free speech extended to unions and corporations.”

“The Democratic Party’s 2016 platform, adopted at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, pledged: “Democrats support a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s decisions in Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo.”

This guy wants Trump to approve his merger with AT&T, doesn’t he?

Where was this “courage” before the election?
