MEDIA SUDDENLY SILENT ON IMPORTANCE OF FREE PRESS AS WARREN DECLARES WAR ON FOX NEWS
Daily Caller ^ | 5/15/2019 | Rachel Stoltzfoos

Posted on 05/15/2019 9:35:08 AM PDT by bitt

Warren’s decision to snub an invitation from Fox to do a televised town hall prompted glowing headlines from The Washington Post, CNN, The New York Times and other liberal outlets Wednesday. They highlighted her characterization of the conservative network as “a hate-for-profit racket,” and noted it puts other Democratic presidential candidates who have taken Fox News up on the offer in the position of having to justify their decision.

“Fox News is a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists—it’s designed to turn us against each other, risking life and death consequences, to provide cover for the corruption that’s rotting our government and hollowing out our middle class,” Warren tweeted. “Fox News is welcome to come to my events just like any other outlet. But a Fox News town hall adds money to the hate-for-profit machine. To which I say: hard pass.”

She also attacked several specific Fox News hosts, including Tucker Carlson, founder of The Daily Caller, and Laura Ingraham, in an Instagram post reiterating her “hate-for-profit” line.

The only independent opinions on Fox News are the prime time and morning shows.
At all other times Fox News is indistinguishable from any other outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda.

Fox News is welcome to come to my events

They're also welcome to come by in the morning and watch me making coffee.

Probably get better ratings too.

Free press?
Define press.
Define news reporting.

Practically all I read or hear is opinions. Opinions about news is not reporting and the media is running amok.

We the people are what 1A and the rest of the constitution is all about. Being lied to or being fed half-truths under the guise of keeping the public informed is unconstitutional.

Warren is nothing...

Her and Kirsten Jelly-brain have zero chance at winning.

Hi.

“Warren’s decision to snub an invitation from Fox to do a televised town hall prompted glowing headlines from The Washington Post, CNN, The New York Times “

Did Pocahontas use a cell phone or smoke signals to notify the MSM?

...”risking life and death consequences”

We are hearing way too much of this lately. Saying something that a Leftist disagrees with “risks life and death consequences”. Speech = violence. We’d better have the social media and internet tightly controlled with all dissenting opinions banned for our own safety.

People who can’t voice their opinions will eventually have to turn to other means. That’s where the life and death risks can be found here.

Freedom of speech is an essential principle underlying the United States Constitution, and that freedom is most essential to what has been described "political speech."

Warren--along with the rest of the historically ignorant Democrats aligned together in this 21st Century "Progressive Regressive movement" to return America to the Old World ideas from which the Framers of our Constitution had escaped--need to be confronted with the ideas of freedom and exposed for their totalitarian ideology's hold on their political speech.

Warren is projecting again. Dems are divisive, hate filled, etc. And she is among those who lead the Dem pack of divisive haters.

Indeed, Frank Luntz's in-studio Gummer-Cam shows a great leap in approval every time you walk in your t-shirt and sandals from the coffee-maker to your Camo-Colored Hummer-Mic to kick-off your show.
