I agree - this First Amendment thing is vastly over-rated.
I dunno, if we are supposed to rethink the Second Amendment because (as the “progressives” say), the Founders could not envision the modern military technology we have today, then why not the 1st? I mean, they only had mechanical presses then — the only form of remote communications at the time were lamps & signal fires (think “Lord of the Rings“).
Freedom does not necessarily mean license (P-T-P) to mislead……
Not at all overrated. Just has limits, that’s all.
Media and Ben Sasse need to learn this.
They can publish what they want.
Forcing me to pay for it is not covered by the 1st amendment.
Screw ‘em.
“First Amendment thing is vastly over-rated”
I missed where the first amendment grants exclusive rights to specific wavelengths of the airwaves to disseminate particular political persuasions. Kindly point out that provision which I apparently overlooked.
Contrarily, the first amendment is being violated by those who exercise exclusive control of the airwaves.
