Remember that totalitarianism always starts with undercutting and demonizing the press. Think about that whilel crying fake news.
I’m pretty sure that Congress has made no laws with respect to NFL players speech. Neither has Trump. But go on with your fake news. It’s all you ever post here anymore.
Oh and it’s TOTALLY a fair comparison between Trump complaining about negative press coverage and England locking up a member of the press for REPORTING on a trial in progress!
Remember that totalitarianism begins wroth a biased press that attacks any and all reformers

Total true shit. The magnates that control the press always push against reform. Fortunately the USA is lucky it happens in spite of them.
Bezos owns the wapo as a mouthpiece flow his massive low tariff dependent import business. And the editors know it. And the reporters just got told to suck it, too.
public institutions like the free press,
If Trayshawn can’t protest the white man keeping him down as he earns $300,000 for playing one game, then all is lost and freedom has no meaning!
And maybe you’d have a point if the press was a public institution. But it’s privately owned, controlled by a few billionaires with clear agendas, and if you think that spells “free press,” you’ll eat horse shit if they tell you it’s green soufflé. What the oligarch-controlled press is, is a propaganda wing of the aristocracy. You can tell by the way they want things to continue on the way they’ve been going.

No, it's bullshit. The way a totalitarian regime works is to delegitimize public institutions like the free press, so the regime is free to spread its lies without being called on them. Eventually, the regime takes over the press entirely and it becomes a mouthpiece of the government.
Trump is following the plan like clockwork. His goal is obviously to make FOX the State run press.
You never got back with which laws the press should obey.
Britain should introduce its own constitution with an enshrined right to freedom of speech similar to that of the US to ensure that whistleblowers can come forward, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has said.
He said that doing so would help prevent governments from cracking down on media organisations that wanted to publish potentially damaging stories.
"One of the big differences between the US and the UK is the first amendment, so the idea of smashing computers in the basement of the New York Times is basically inconceivable," he said, referring to the British government's demand that the Guardian destroy hard-drives used to store Edward Snowden's secret files.
"One of the important things about the US is that something like the first amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights is very difficult to change – whereas here, it's not so easy to construct something that's difficult to change. Parliament can ultimately change anything with a majority vote and that's that."
Liberals 1950-2016: you can't trust the press. Ever consolidating media huge danger to republic. Insiders leak misleading info to help or hinder certain policies.
Liberals 2016-: Nevermind that shit, Stop Trump! Whatever it takes! All criticism of media dangerous!
Trump is good i like him and it feels that he likes me
Not a strawman.
Haven't lefties been screaming bloody murder for years about consolidation of media and their corporatism, globalist bias? All my life, going back to the 80s.
Now all of a sudden, any criticism of the media is extremist and the media is only composed of honest and correct viewpoints.
The rest of us freedom lovers are just pointing to this example and saying, “See? This is what can happen when there are no constitutional protections of speech and press! This is the tyranny that results! We must never abandon our rights in favor of some promised “security” just as Ben Franklin said!
Never! Give up! Rights!
And no, Trump does not define my beliefs any more than Josef Stalin defines yours! We may have many points of agreement, just as you may agree with Stalin’s methods and madness, but I also disagree with much of what Trump says and does. His calls for restriction of the press seem whiny at best, and woefully ignorant of the situation at worst. He has no ability to defy the First Ammendment. There is no danger of that, and there never was.
The media has always been great and all is. Eat your yellowcake

Met Police Officer Admits Protest Ban Against Tommy Robinson May Have Been Unlawful

The UK is long gone (RIP). God bless the US - go Trump and MAGA!

UK activist and English Defence Leage founder Tommy Robinson was arrested on Friday outside of Leeds Crown Court for reporting on a pedophile grooming trial. Within six hours of his arrest, Robinson was handed a 13 month prison term for violating a prior suspended sentence for a similar offense, while media outlets were banned from covering the incident by the court - with several removing reports which had already been published.
Footage shows Robinson, 35, being arrested while livestreaming to his Facebook page outside the courthouse. He can be heard shouting to a friend "Please, George, get me a solicitor, I’m on a suspended sentence, you see."

“A big police van with about seven police officers pulled up and arrested [Robinson] and told him to stop live streaming,” Robinson’s producer told RT (before their article (archived) was scrubbed from the internet). “They said it was incitement and a breach of the peace.
“No peace has been breached – there were two other people there and he’s been perfectly quiet talking into his phone. [The police] said nothing about the court proceedings. It’s very strange.”
Disturbingly, the judge who sentenced Robinson, Geoffrey Marson QC, ordered an Orwellian media blackout - which resulted in several publications deleting their articles from the web covering Robinson's arrest.

It has been made clear to us if we put any more information out than we have that we ourselves face a very real risk of arrest. So thank you to everyone standing up for the truth and for freedom of the press at this moment. Thank you, thank you.

Robinson was admonished last year by Judge Heather Norton for filming outside a gang rape case in Canterbury, who slapped him with a three month suspended sentence on the condition that he cease his coverage of the trials.
you should be under no illusions that if you commit any further offence of any kind, and that would include, I would have thought a further contempt of court by similar actions, then that sentence of three months would be activated -Judge Heather Norton
“This is not about free speech, not about the freedom of the press, nor about legitimate journalism, and not about political correctness,” the judge told Robinson at the time.
#FreeTommy
In response to Robinson's arrest, a large group of protesters gathered outside Downing Street - while the hashtag #FreeTommy has been used to coordinate a response, express outrage and share information about the situation.

Robinson's arrest has also sparked a free speech debate over social media, with supporters and detractors alike standing up for the controversial activist's right (or lack thereof) to express his opinion.

Tommy Robinson has just been sentenced to jail for 13 months. There is a UK reporting ban. No one there is allowed to talk about it. #FreeTommy
