Hearings on the President’s RIGHT to Free Speech?
I didn’t think it possible, but the Dems are getting stupider.

[Magnatron]

Every day the Left demonstrate their continuing journey to fascism (their natural home in spite of the rewriting of history).

This is straight out of the North Korean/Chinese/Nazi handbook: “Never allow criticism of the state run media.”

How any of them continue to be elected baffles me. Critical thinking is dead on one side of our political spectrum.

[papertyger]

Saw part of “The Killing Fields” last night; one character mentions that no reporters caught by the Khmer Rouge are seen again.

Make no mistake, should CWII come to pass, those in the media we all fume over will be treated like Tokyo Rose, and Lord Haw-Haw.

[Shady]

This could backfire. Big time.

[kearnyirish2]

They should be; they are paid tools that incite political and racial violence.

Dangerous, amoral people...

"This is straight out of the North Korean/Chinese/Nazi handbook: “Never allow criticism of the state run media.”" ---- That is very true.

"How any of them continue to be elected baffles me". ---- They get elected because of the indoctrinating schools, the "entertainment" business and of course, the media propaganda machine.

Gather all the ignorance produced there AND all the illegal voting, and the result is it may be hard to win the Presidency again.

Let them condemn free speech.

There's a reason all the truly egregious ones live in the same gun controlled, regional enclaves.

Cool! Are they going to visit accuracy and fairness in reporting too? Democrats are all about fairness after all.../s

[abclily]

Democrats have decreed that Trump no longer has freedom of speech?

[Pollster1]

If the pansies in the media don't like being called #FakeNews, perhaps they should occasionally publish something other than fake news. I'm not suggesting something crazy like 100% objective reporting, just that they make an effort almost every week to report one story honestly.

I’m not convinced we have forgotten. I believe massive voter fraud is the reason, not a lapse in memory.

[bert]

Such hearings will be counter productive.

The conspiracy between the DNC propaganda office and the media will be revealed.

While I wouldn't feel the need to fall on my sword if proven wrong, I tend to agree with you.

I've yet to meet a single dissatisfied Trump voter, yet supposedly the same people who elected him, and are fully aware of the forces arrayed against him, were outvoted in an off-year election.

That's a bit of a far stretch for me to accept, uncritically.

[rbmillerjr]

I will not back down on this..

The Media is absolutely the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE !

They are corrupt, have long-passed Bias to now being Advocates for liberalism, socialism and the Democrat Party.

Don not back down...we need to stress that the Establishment Media deserve no Fourth Estate protections in their current state of Statist Media.

[TimSkalaBim]

Republican committee members should be able to hit this one out the park, if they can rouse themselves. Evidence of the media’s corruption, unprofessionalism, and partisanship is overwhelming. Compare all that to the Columbia J school’s stated ethics/ideals and let the people decide.

[Unam Sanctam]

He has a First Amendment right to criticize the press. When he starts using government power to silence and censor, then get back to me.

[Tallguy]

If the Republican minority on the committee can’t flip this to our advantage they need to leave congress and be declared politically incompetent.
