President Barack Obama held a press conference today to announce signing into law a bill that prevents U.S. media outlets from naming the shooting suspect in any of their news coverage.
This is is tyranny. His illegally seized power cannot usurp our first amendment and the rights of the freedom of the press.
For years Islamic supremacists like Ground Zero mosque imam Feisal Rauf and others demanded that the media stop reporting on jihad terror because it might cause “islamophobia” (euphemism for opposition to jihad terror).
It was unthinkable before Obama.
Now that they have their stooge in the White House, Obama has passed a law prohibiting naming the mass murderers. It is a rout of the Constitution. He has shredded the first amendment. How is this legal?
Under the new law, media outlets will face fines of up to $100,000 for naming in print, online, or over the airwaves, the suspect in a mass shooting, which is categorized as the murder of four or more people.

This has to be a spoof
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I don’t believe this claim.
Is this real? Please tell me this isn’t real.
Yep
If it was a bill, it would have to come from congress.
Pure SARC.
So I guess the Republican majority House and Senate approved this bill and sent it to the President to sign.
This is a fake story. It came from a .com.co site. rather than a real network site.
Individual TV and radio hosts opt to not name the shooter so as not to encourage copycats. But there is no law.
"This is why it is important to always include links to your sources, Pamela. This came from a joke site, NBC.COM.CO <-- See that .CO part?? FFS, the bottom of the site mentions "Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin". Propagating this kind of stuff makes "our side" look foolish."
So don’t name them . . . just say a muslim extremist is involved. Anyway, we already know their names are Mohammed.
Pam ought to know better than to spew this inflammatory nonsense. Besides, IF Obama could do something like this unilaterally, it would only be Muslims whose names would not be released ... white males, have at ‘em.
Coming soon to a President’s desk near you.
Because we all know what demographic will benefit the most.
Not if it truly is from Pamela Seller’s site. More violating free press than free speech, though I guess they do go hand in hand here. I am sure glad Boehner and friends decided long ago never to impeach Barry. I mean, it isn’t as if he has done anything to deserve it. Oh wait...
It would make Geller’s satirical article slightly less lame if she had at least said it was an Executive Order that Obama signed, and not a bill. This is like she’s just phoning it in.
Please update to indicate this is a spoof. Fake. Comedy. Sarcasm.
Okay, apparently it is fake. Shame on Pamela indeed.
First of all, Obama cannot ‘Pass a law.’ on his own. There are 535 members of Congress that would have to go along, and a bill of that import would never get thru it in no way, shape or form. This has to be a satire piece..............
