I can boil down Bazelon’s essay, “Shut up, I’m talking”.
The First Amendment is the foundation of the American experiment. Take that away and the structure collapses.
What very bad person this professor is.
The New York Times needs to find a more suitable home for its new HQ—
Pyongyang.
Then they can publish a lengthy article from “distinguished” professors and health “experts” explaining the health benefits of eating dogs and cats and...
Soylent Green.
The Bill of Rights was written by dead white slaveholders—and the New York Times wants it _gone_ in their Commie Utopia.
Wow.
This needs to be broadcast.
Folks need to know what is at stake.
“Bazelon saw a right wing using conspiracies and lies to steal the election for Trump.”
Here she spins a lie and a conspiracy theory about alleged right wing lies and conspiracy theories.
The NY Times can go to hell. I wouldn’t insult my parakeets by lining their cage with the NYT.
If we’re going to gut the 1st amendment - and I’m 100% against that - can we at least START with banning freedom of the press.
But only for publications like this that are already in favor of that.
“The New York Times needs to find a more suitable home for its new HQ—
Pyongyang.”
They’re close, right across the street from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, one of the ugliest pieces of brutalist architecture in New York.
Good. Shut down the Times.
Of course free speech threatens democracy, as it should do!
So, what’s this law school professor’s understanding of law? of government? of US history?
As most on FR know, the US was not founded as a democracy. It was founded as a federal republic (”and to the Republic for which it stands”).
So, what’s this “our democracy” that this uneducated professor (sorry for the redundancy) speaks of?
Free Speech threatens everything and always has.
That’s the whole idea of allowing it.
And for the millionth time, the USA is not a democracy.
It’s a good thing, then, that America is a constitutional republic ... not a democracy.
Anyone who does not support the bill of rights needs to be executed or exiled to North Korea.
And the Norks don’t want them.
From WP: In Great Britain, Brutalism was featured in the design of utilitarian, low-cost social housing influenced by socialist principles and soon spread to other regions across the world.[4][5][14] Brutalist designs became most commonly used in the design of institutional buildings, such as universities, libraries, courts and city halls. The popularity of the movement began to decline in the late 1970s, with some associating the style with urban decay and totalitarianism.[5]
IOW, brutalism looks to me like Bauhaus on steroids. With a hangover.
Teddy Kennedy was ticked off at a column directed at him by BH columnist Howie Carr.
Kennedy managed to shepherd through a law banning newspaper/tv station ownership in the same market.
USSC told Congress that Kennedy's law was a Bill of Attainder directed at "Murdoch", and therefore illegal.
(FWIW, the NYT used to own a radio station or two. I'd occasionally tune it (high AM frequency) driving at night when there wasn't anything local that was interesting. It was a classical station.
Now that I think about it, The Chicago Tribune owned WGN at some point. The call letters meant "World's Greatest Newspaper".)
