The first amendment definitely needs a re-think. Starting with licensing ‘journalists’, separating them from ‘propagandists’.

Depends on one’s definition of each concept in this journalist’s first sentence. I’m sure that mine would be unlike his.

“Starting with licensing ‘journalists’”

I’d rather keep a totally free press and rely on citizens to recognize untruthful journalism.

Same with the internet.

Neither control or no control is a perfect solution but I’ll stick with ‘no control’.

Great idea!

That will make licensed journalists as honest as licensed lawyers and as competent as licensed teachers.

Uh, no. That’s the kind of tactic the left likes.

I can hope you aren’t serious, but sadly I fear that you probably are. YOU are the reason for amendment to begin with...

I will pray that one day you will wake up to realize the fascism you are espousing. Do you know who else “licenses journalists?” Kim Jun Il, Mao, Castro, Chavez, and on and on.
