Liberal Senator hates Free Speech

[DrLeftover]

August 9, 2013

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has proposed an amendment to the Media Shield Law – an irrelevant law ignoring protection already afforded by the First Amendment – that would limit the law’s protection only to “real reporters,” not bloggers and other upstart alternative media types.

A real reporter, declared Madame Feinstein during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, is “a salaried agent” of a media company like the New York Times or ABC News, not a shoestring operation with volunteers and writers who are not paid.

Predictably, I cannot find any mention of this in the "mainstream media".

Yeah I can see why this cracker wants to do that. Cause then it'd be so much easier to go after the bloggers and such.

 

[DrLeftover]

Isn't it a Federal Crime to call a ranking Democratic Senator a "cracker"?

Everyone hates free speech because it allows people like this senator to say these things.
