    Being fired from your job over things you said has nothing to do with the right to free speech. That right means the government won’t punish you. It does not stop anyone else from punishing you.

      But you can easily make the argument MSNBC is suppressing there own “journalists” speech to not face backlash from the government. Just because the government isn’t directly coming after an individual doesn’t mean that they aren’t at least attempting to suppress speech.

        We’ve plenty of examples of Trump ignoring outlets he doesn’t favor. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s outright banned some from attending press events.

    The CNN mention reminds me of something that I haven’t seen posted here at all. Ted Turner, billionaire, founder if CNN and invntor if the 24/7 TV news cycle died. Rest in piss. That fucker caused a nation to crumble faster than it could have otherwise.

      I sure wouldn’t say no if they got rid of Stephen Crowder, since he’s the one in this meme.

      Let it go dude. We are here now you don’t need to keep talking about your ex.

      It’s virtue signalling at best as the overwhelming majority here agree with you. So what do you have to gain by saying this? You’re literally preaching to the converted.

      Surely this isn’t your whole identity.
