Journalism is not protected free speech for you?
No, it should not be âfreeâ. It should be âtrueâ.
Thatâs why legitimate News organizations have âeditorsâ who decide (according to the rule) what is protected speech and what is not.
What types of speech are not protected?
The Constitution guarantees freedom of speech by default, placing the burden on the state to demonstrate whether there are any circumstances that justify its limitation.
The relevant exceptions to the First Amendment that have been established are:
- Speech that would be deemed a âtrue threatâ: Speech that a person reasonably would perceive as an immediate threat to their physical safety is not protected by the First Amendment. For example, if a demonstrator yelled at an individual student and threatened a physical assault to the speech, then such speech would not be protected.
- Incitement of illegal activity: There is no right to incite people to break the law, including to commit acts of violence. To constitute incitement, the Supreme Court has said that there must be a substantial likelihood of imminent illegal activity and the speech must be directed to causing imminent illegal activity.
> For example, a speaker on campus who exhorts the audience to engage in acts of vandalism and destruction of property is not protected by the First Amendment if there is a substantial likelihood of imminent illegal activity.
- Harassment in an educational institution aimed at an individual on the basis of a protected characteristic (race, gender, sexual orientation, religion); that is also pervasive and severe; is a direct or implied threat to employment or education; or creates an intimidating, hostile and demeaning environment.

Remember that the Jan 6 insurrection was a result of the abuse of criminal âfree speechâ by Trump and his cronies. Thatâs why Trump is charged with a crime and 1000 + people charged and/or convicted of an actual crime as a result of abuse of free speech.

The case is about whether it was journalism or theft. An indictment is not prosecution. He probably has a good chance of winning but I donât get how he got that password.
Charged with 14 felonies for telling the truth about how fox manipulated the interview to make Ze more palatable to Foxâs right-wing audience. The FBI raided his home and stole thousands of dollars worth of video, cell phone and computer equipment.
Burkes lawyer Rasch wrote that Burke âaccessed publicly accessible live streams by simply finding and putting in the appropriate URL for the website. There was no âhacking,â no âforced entryâ and no special tools necessary.â
Is that a crime in bidens America?
yeah, um, I, uh, âfound itâ, thatâs it. It was just lying around, like, no one âcalled itâ, I didnât see anyoneâs name it, it was just there. I found it. Sure, thatâs it.
Yes just like youre on the CFI site and click around and find what you want. Yeah um???
Whatâs with all this melodramatic phony hysteria?
âBidenâs Americaâ what hog wash.
This sort of sensationalistic superficiality, isnât journalism.
Or even rational. Or humane.
Was the information marked âsecretâ?
I so, publication of content is a crime.
Apparently, the situation requires litigation, so here we are. All according to existing law.
Now you are equivocating on the qualification
Lausten is one of CFIâs moderators (editors) who decide what constitutes free speech on this forum. It is his job to spot posts that are against the ârulesâ.
If you donât recognize his authority, go to one of Trumpâs supporting sites. But then, it looks like you get your ânewsâ from Fox, which is not a legitimate cnews organization.
Remember, they got sued for accusing a voting machine manufacturer of âweighingâ the input data.
But you better not disagree with 'em
The democrats Michigan primary on tonight. On the ballot is the uncommitted option pushed by the likes of Rashida Tlaib
Okay wonderful.
And Biden isnât unaware of the issues:
I wonder if you every do anything but try to tear down? Have you every involved yourself in community work, or seriously engaged in the political process at any level?
Yeah, things really suck and before you know it, they are going to suck even worse, the Black Swans are starting to dot the horizon, getting ready to start swooping down on us for real - so why not try to attempt working towards the light, rather than this hateful arrogant judgementalism about an issue that we are utterly helpless to do anything about. Why not focus on issues you might be able to influence. Or at least stop condemning those whoâve are simply too overwhelm to make that particular issue, Thee Issue. Too much competition, what about Africa and South America and the Tibetans and Uyghurs, and on and on and on. Are you at least ready to stop driving your car and visiting fast food - given the crown of sanctity youâre wearing?
I notice you never have any bad words for the corporate overlords and the military industrial complex that own the politicians - but governments you love bashing.
Phony is as phony does.
Just a wild idea that entered my mind.
For the record, Iâm not implying anything about anyone living or dead. Save your predictable cries of injustice, because if the mark strikes home, thatâs all in your head, or conscience, cause Iâm talking in broad generalities about the whole MAGA mind set and all who embrace this mentality of nonstop viciously destructive juvenile frog feces.
Oh speaking of those Black Swans, howzabout this one:
Here he is. He is on the case
True but so is Biden and at a more advanced stage. Yesterday he coudnt remember obamas name and called Xi the president of Russia
Thatâs the best you can come up with?
Notice the side bar - can you spot the spin happening there?
Where are the criminal defendant and sexual predator mr. trumpâs winning votes going to come from during a national election?
Hereâs another way to look at it:
We shall see.
I know I vote for the lesser of two evils, but show me the math for Trump being less evil.
