THERE IS GREAT ANGER IN OUR COUNTRY CAUSED IN PART BY INACCURATE, AND EVEN FRAUDULENT, REPORTING OF THE NEWS. THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA, THE TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, MUST STOP THE OPEN & OBVIOUS HOSTILITY & REPORT THE NEWS ACCURATELY & FAIRLY. THAT WILL DO MUCH TO PUT OUT THE FLAME...

8:03 AM - OCT 29, 2018; WHY SHOULD FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS BE ALLOWED? WHY SHOULD A GOVERNMENT WHICH IS DOING WHAT IT BELIEVES TO BE RIGHT ALLOW ITSELF TO BE CRITICIZED? IT WOULD NOT ALLOW OPPOSITION BY LETHAL WEAPONS. IDEAS ARE MUCH MORE FATAL THINGS THAN GUNS. WHY SHOULD ANY MAN BE ALLOWED TO BUY A PRINTING PRESS AND DISSEMINATE PERNICIOUS OPINIONS CALCULATED TO EMBARRASS THE GOVERNMENT?
