Maher, noting that Jones has "told crazy lies" about him, said on his HBO show Friday that "if youre a liberal, youre supposed to be for free speech." Thats free speech for the speech you hate. Thats what free speech means. Were losing the thread of the concepts that are important to this country, he continued. If you care about the real American shit or you dont. And if you do, it goes for every side. I dont like Alex Jones, but Alex Jones gets to speak. Everybody gets to speak," Maher said. Charlie Sykes, a contributing editor for The Weekly Standard, pushed back on Mahers comments, saying that Jones doesnt necessarily get to speak on Facebook or Twitter, to which the host agreed. If he engages in vile slander and fabrication about children who are murdered at Sandy Hook and he harasses the parents of children who were murdered at Sandy Hook Facebook, Twitter dont have an obligation to provide him a platform because theyre private companies, Sykes said. Jones has been pulled or banned from several platforms, including Facebook, YouTube and Spotify. Twitter also placed restrictions on the accounts for Jones and his site Infowars, a move Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told The Hill is meant to encourage users to behave better on the site. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West <cite>Funbazooka posted [p:907114295] in Trump BLAS...

Funbazooka 08/18/18 4:37:56 PM #14:	CNN Just Sued The Government To Get The Names And Addresses Of Manafort Jurors http://thefederalist.com/2018/08/17/cnn-just-sued-government-get-names-addresses-manafort-jurors/ In a motion filed in federal court on Thursday, CNN and several other media outlets requested that the court release the names and home addresses of all jurors in the Paul Manafort fraud case. Jurors haven not yet rendered a verdict on any of the 18 charges against Manafort, who briefly served as President Donald Trumps campaign manager in 2016. The motion filed on behalf of CNN, Washington Post, BuzzFeed, POLITICO, New York Times, NBC Universal, and the Associated Press asks the court to provide to the media organizations the full names and home addresses of the men and women who were summoned and selected by the federal government to serve as jurors in Manaforts fraud case. The media request for the names and home addresses of jurors comes a day after the jury began deliberating about the verdicts on 18 fraud and conspiracy counts against Manafort. The charges, which are unrelated to Manaforts work for the Trump campaign in 2016, were brought by the federal Office of Special Counsel, which is headed by former FBI director Robert Mueller. Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to investigate allegations that the Trump campaign committed treason by illegally conspiring with Russian government officials to steal the presidential election from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Prosecutors allege that Manafort illegally hid assets in undisclosed offshore accounts from the Internal Revenue Service in an attempt to evade required tax payments. Prosecutors also allege that Manafort committed bank fraud by falsifying financial documents in the process of obtaining loans. Early Thursday evening, members of the jury asked the judge a series of questions about the case and the legal threshold for proving guilt, including a definition of what reasonable doubt meant. Many outside legal experts interpreted the question as being good news for Manaforts defense team and bad news for the prosecution. Publicly outing the names and home addresses of jurors is considered ethically questionable, as outlined in this guidance sheet on the topic from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press: When jurors are not willing to talk, however, some question whether it is appropriate for journalists to name jurors. Because jurors do not volunteer for their roles, many journalists question whether they should be thrust into the limelight. According to Tompkins, both before and after a verdict is rendered, most newsrooms air on the side of caution when making these decisions. Generally, there is a policy against publishing juror names, Tompkins said. Among journalists, there genuinely is the feeling that there is no good, compelling reason to identify these people. This isnt the first time CNN has tried to doxx private individuals whose political views or statements offend the network. Last July, the news network threatened to identify a Reddit user who created a GIF of Trump wrestling another man with CNNs logo superimposed on his face. CNN wrote at the time that it would reveal the individuals identity publicly if he continued to mock the network. In February, CNN showed up on the front lawn at the home of an elderly woman who reportedly unknowingly shared pro-Trump memes on Facebook that were created by a Russian bot factory. A reporter aggressively harangued the befuddled woman, demanding to know why she colluded with Russians to hurt Hillary Clintons chances of becoming president. The federal judge presiding over Manaforts case scheduled a hearing on CNNs doxxing motion for 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West <cite>Funbazooka posted [p:907114953] in Trump BLAS...

But remember, folks, a restuarant refusing to serve Sarah Sanders is the real sign of incivility in political discourse...not, you know, Trump going on crazy rants, and accusing his political rivals as simply peddling fake news. BTW, remember those journalists who were killed and how we all agreed this type of inflammatory rhetoric should be scaled back? funny how we only discuss that when it's a Maxine waters or Andrew Cuomo who are "guilty" of such offenses. wonder why that is Has Trump ever called on the media to be publicly harassed? The media is not some special class. The media is allowed to criticize the president and the president is allowed to criticize the media.

Why is seeing Trump bitch about censorship funny when he's never censored anyone Because he's expressed a desire to do so. I don't know why this is so hard for you to wrap your head around But he hasn't done it. Actions speak louder than desires. Mal is right. We can't criticize trump for being pro-censorship just because he desires censorship if he hasn't actually censored anyone. This is why Mal also defends pedophiles who don't act on their desires. They haven't actually abused children, so they shouldn't be judged on their desires. I disagree personally because those desires are not healthy or acceptable, but Mal's argument is objectively valid. --- Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/ <cite>ImTheMacheteGuy posted [p:907115528] in Trump BLAS...
