They are not journalists and they are not the “free press” anymore... they have abdicated their place of “reporting” to the people...they have become an arm of he democrats and they have been allowed to spread the lies of the left to all who hear them. Most do not get channels that are not so blatantly biased... they get their news from abc, cbs and nbc... and cnn plays in all the places that have a public TV... They have to pay extra to get channels like Fox or the ones that still give the news.

They have to cut off their ability to do what they do.. It’s a running tabloid of lies... where does it say they can stop reporting and still be free to tell the public all that hurts and destroys our nation!

If I were the President, (pardon the yelling)
THERE IS NO WAY I’D PUT UP WITH ANY OF THIS!!!!
I’d be firing. tearing into, arresting, demanding, getting those blankety criminals into court/prison, or on a boat outta here! This _____ has gone on too long... it’s way too serious, and they don’t have the power to do what they are doing!!!!!!

The lies being fed to the public are on a scale of treason!!

What about journalists attacking people. They just hide behind the first amendment when they get caught or claim absence without malice and print a retraction on page 98 a week later. Moral degenerates.

Yes. Swalwell is insane. I think he is a clone of Adam Schiff. He has to be. No two people can be that insane.

Oh wait! Excuse me. They’re Democrats and I think both are from California. That’s a “Double Insanity Curse”.

In that case, I declare myself a journalist because I post on an internet forum. Any threats to me will become a federal crime.

Eric Swalwell, you’re going to have to prove a more
strident dedication to speech freedom before I will
ever support your grandstanding bill. What I would
like to have you do is to be seen (w/prior publicity)
attending a Milo Yannanopoulos speech at Cal Berkeley.
In fact, I want you to escort Milo to the venue and
quietly take a seat in the audience. By this action
you can teach the hateful liberals that listening to
your opponent is not a death sentence. Eric, if
you care enough about free speech to widen your
bill to cover protection for college speakers then
I will consider supporting it.

As soon as it becomes a Federal Crime for “journalists” to lie to the People and use fake news to collude with enemies of the Constitution...

While we’re at it, let’s make it a federal crime for politicians to lie to their constituents.

When I saw the Small Smell bot on Tucker, I immediately thought back on that one debate in which Little Marco robotically repeated the same pre-rehearsed line multiple times, and Christie called him on it.

Attack law and kill Freedom of Speech? I don’t think I will follow that one.

I wonder if Swalwell would feel the same about any journo asking Swalwell if he, Swalwell, is or ever has been party to a non-disclosure agreement...

Propagandists are extremely dangerous.

History is rife with examples.

“Is it the clintons have that much power over them all?”

That mostly. That’s the head of the snake. Then what they say/do trickles down to the propaganda arm, i.e., the MSM. Then the sheeple who pay attention to them pick it up.
