Joy Reid Thinks Trump's Criticism of Media Is a 'Violation of First Amendment'

How can I impeach thee? Let me count the ways....

Still reeling from the pain of the Mueller report's failure to deliver any additional indictments, Joy Reid this morning fantasized a list of possibly impeachable offenses.

The most hilarious, reflecting Reid's unfamiliarity with the Bill of Rights, was her claim that Trump's "attacking the media" could be grounds for impeachment. Reid said that while the criticism isn't a crime, "it's a violation of the First Amendment in a lot of ways."

“...[Stupid people don’t know they are stupid.]...”

Stupid is as stupid does. Quote by a great American.

Meanwhile, a quick count shows me that about 5 of the signatories to the Limbaugh smear letter are running for POTUS on the Dimocrat side.

That makes sense.....the media has a right to say what they want but you don’t. Did I miss something here?

From google:

Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)

Amendment 1

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.

Joy, I think it's covered under "or abridging freedom of speech".

Joy Reid mistakenly thinks that the First Amendment protects an institution that calls itself "the press." She's so, so wrong. The "press" is a machine.

The First Amendment protects the right of the People to publish. Just posting here on Free Republic is me exercising my First Amendment freedom of the press.

In the 1700s, freedom of speech was good literally only as far as a town crier on a soapbox could be heard. Publishing allowed for thought to be carried throughout the nation.

Freedom of speech is literally speaking, being allowed to speak for oneself. Publishing is not speech, it is press; however, it shares the same First Amendment protection as speech, and the two are taken together as one.

However, the First Amendment is NOT meant to be "speech" for you and me, and "press" for so-called journalists. It is speech for you and me and journalists, and publishing for you and me and journalists, too. And the President, as well. He has the freedom of speech, and the freedom of Twitter.

Joy Reid is one of the first to want to convict President Trump without due process....some of her remarks are so vindictive they deserve a libel label, i,.e., she should be sued.

This mind of mush is definitely affirmative action for life and there is nothing affirmative within her skull of intelligence.

The left only hires people like Reid in an attempt to speed up the dumbing down of America.

>>I guess she does not realize that President Trump has 1st Amendment rights as well.....<<

She is a liberal. Liberals believe the 1st only applies to sanctioned leftist speech.

Stupid people don’t know they are stupid.

The Dunning Kruger Effect. Basically stupid people are too stupid to realize they are stupid. They will use big words sometimes without understanding their meaning but THINKING they understand the meaning,

Best example: a0c (occasional-cortex).

Joy Reid is an idiot. That is also protected by the First Amendment.

I don’t think the skank can read. Her stupidity knows no bounds.......grrrrr
