    The First Amendment requirement that “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom . . . of the press” has one obvious objective. It exists to prevent the political homogenization of mass communications. It was well crafted, and it worked. Under that regime, Congress passed laws to expedite the propagation of information by giving preferential postage to newspapers which interchanged information by mailing their newspapers to each other. But in 1844 Samuel Morse demonstrated his famous Baltimore-Washington telegraph, and the Associated Press and other wire services soon followed. This was in principle the same thing as...

  • Let Daylight Saving Time Die Already

    Everyone not named Franklin D. Roosevelt hates Daylight Saving Time. The constant back and forth is confusing, especially for those who have an early Sunday morning commitment. The Standard Time Act of 1918 gave the federal government power to oversee national time zones. That power was extended with the passage of the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which allows the Department of Transportation (DOT) to set Daylight Saving Time for the entire country. Why DOT? Because "time standards are important for many modes of transportation," or something like that. Despite decades of observance, however, more and more Americans are rebelling...

    Former President Barack Obama has had a hard time staying focused on the campaign trail lately. While stumping in Miami, Florida, with Sen. Bill Nelson, D-FL, and Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, the former president tried his best to deliver a home run speech before Tuesday’s midterm elections. In less than 90 seconds, Obama defended Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to send and receive classified information, downplayed the severity of the Ebola virus, defended the migrant caravan trekking north toward the U.S., and attacked President Donald Trump.
  • Belgian Christmas Market is named Winter Market, because it ‘could offend other beliefs’

    Organisers of the Christmas Market in the Belgian city of Brugge changed its name to Winter Market. The decision was made to not ‘offend other beliefs’, Belgian newspaper HLN reports. The newspaper says that the Christmas lights on the market will be replaced by neutral winter lights. People and politicians are not amused about the changes. Pol Van Den Driessche, a member of local opposition party N-VA, calls the decision ‘incomprehensible and unbelievable’. “So we are not allowed to speak about a Christmas Market, but only of a Winter Market. This is not only a completely insane decision, it also...

    During a panel segment on Thursday's 'Morning Joe' on MSNBC, co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Jim VandeHei of Axios about comments the president made in an upcoming interview about his supporters demanding harsh rhetoric against the mainstream media, and related something the president told her when they were still on speaking terms: MIKA BRZEZINSKI: "...He basically admitted to us that he doesn't read. He can't read. He takes things in mostly through hearing it, through watching it, through listening to it, through being a part of it. He has a command of playing the media. That is his sweet spot. That...

    Who’s to blame? Every time there is a shooting, a bombing, any kind of mass killing, a heartbroken nation asks ourselves, who’s to blame? We must begin, of course, with the fact that the person who did it, did it. Period. The person who pulled the trigger, set the bomb, drove the van, was responsible. Unless he was hypnotized, or otherwise physically and mentally controlled from afar, the killer himself bears criminal responsibility for the crime he commits. No excuses, no reprieves, no blaming a cruel society or bad childhood. When a killer kills, he owns the responsibility, and he...

    CNN’s Don Lemon believes that “the biggest terror threat in this country is white men” — and he’s not sure why there isn’t a travel ban in place as a result. Lemon made the remarks to fellow network anchor Chris Cuomo on Monday night, in reference to pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats and the Pittsburgh synagogue mass killing. Lemon also pointed to the Kentucky grocery store murders last week, in which a white man gunned down two black individuals. The crime is also being investigated as a hate crime. Lemon explained that it’s time to sit down and examine...
