In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government’s power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell.
Hugo Black (1886–1971) American politician and jurist, US Supreme Court Justice (1937–71)

Had there been a literary censorship in Rome, we should have had to-day neither Horace, Juvenal, nor the philosophical works of Cicero. If Milton, Dryden, Pope, and Locke had not been free, England would have had neither poets nor philosophers; there is something positively Turkish in proscribing printing; and hampering it is proscription.
[S’il y avait eu une inquisition littéraire à Rome, nous n’aurions aujourd’hui ni Horace, ni Juvénal, ni les œuvres philosophiques de Cicéron. Si Milton, Dryden, Pope, et Locke, n’avaient pas été libres l’Angleterre n’aurait eu ni des poètes, ni des philosophes: il y a je ne sais quoi de turc à proscrire l’imprimerie, et c’est la proscrire que la trop gêner.]Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]

As you have it in your power, sir, to do some service to letters, I implore you not to clip the wings of our writers so closely, nor to turn into barn-door fowls those who, allowed a start, might become eagles; reasonable liberty permits the mind to soar — slavery makes it creep.
[Puisque vous êtes, monsieur, à portée de rendre service aux belles-lettres, ne rognez pas de si près les ailes à nos écrivains, et ne faites pas des volailles de basse-cour de ceux qui, en prenant l’essor, pourraient devenir des aigles: une liberté honnête élève l’esprit, et l’esclavage le fait ramper.]Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

#Trump asserted that #ABC & #NBC should lose their government-issued broadcast licenses, something that he’s repeatedly suggested & something that his #FCC chairman, #BrendanCarr, has taken unprecedented steps to do, particularly with ABC, in recent months.

Ok, so you're choosing to drink in the Nazi bar, that tolerates Nazi regulars, and, in fact, gives them money. That's _a_ choice...
I take your point about Trump media monopolies, but you do realise there are _other_ platforms out there that _don't_ support actual Nazis?

"If Nazis frequent your bar, and you don't kick them out, more Nazis will come, the rest of your clientele leaves, and your bar will become a Nazi Bar." ~ as the saying goes.
Substack is a Nazi bar.
It _literally_ funds Nazis.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/116884314571843749
Trump wants his MAGA donors who buy media corporations to monopolize all sources of information. We lost several trusted media outlets that are no longer trustworthy. Useful idiots help Trump by attacking Substack, which publishes many excellent people who express their thoughts there.

The #DeepState didn’t take down #Nixon.
So why did #JDVance say it did?
Nixon’s #Crimes, the #Courts, #Congress & the #FreePress drove #Watergate.
Such a scandal of #crime & #corruption could easily happen again — [especially in a nation where #Trump controls the #press, the rule of #law only applies to his enemies & the courts have been subjugated by a #corrupt #SCOTUS].#Trumpaganda #propaganda #Republicans #RevisionistHistory #UShistory #law #criminal

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

@w7voa 🤔 A little more than 6 years ago the first sociopath in history was allowed to occupy America's presidential office, and last year the first sociopath captured twitter's leadership.
Both institutions & affected people were foreseeably, but avoidably going to suffer from ignorant spite, despotism & malice, exploiting & abusing undeserved power.#RuleOfLaw #AccountabilityMatters #JusticeMatters #InvestigateMusk #InvestigateTwitter #AntisocialMedia #RecklessEndangerment #FreePress #FreeSpeech
