““Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.””
I see noting there about the protection the privacy of a person that decided voice his opinion via an internet meme.
I didn’t say they couldn’t legally do what they’re doing, but you can’t say they’re not being hypocritical bullies considering the different ways they treated the free speech of a private citizen and the way they treated the free speech of Kathy Griffith. We have every right to call them out for it, and they are being bullies, because at least Griffith is a celebrity. They didn’t have a problem with her free speech and didn’t threaten her. They have a problem with this guy’s free speech amd threatened him. If they get away with it, that means that CNN gets to control “free” speech. They already have a powerful platform to advance their narrative, and now they’re going to try to stifle the free speech of private citizens? It may be legal, but it’s completely unethical, and the rest of us private citizens have to do what we can to oppose it, or CNN controls public speech.
