The one thing no autocrat can tolerate, and this is especially true of our dime store Mussolini and his factotum, is to be Laughed at. Nothing cuts deeper than truth that pierces the lies and pretensions with laughter. Autocrats and their followers are always victims. Ask them.
The first amendment protects the right of speech. That includes comics, reporters and plain old everyday citizens. There is no right in America to not be offended. The WHCD should be a celebration of the first amendment and its absolute indispensability to the American republic.
Trump has debased his office, our institutions and our culture. His top staffers are his accomplices in that debasement. They are certainly not victims and media executives should show absolute fidelity to the free speech rights of a comic whose work stands on its own merits
All Americans need to respect a free press as a guarantor of transparency and an agent against corruption.
“The aim of the joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.” ― George Orwell
Apparently the WH correspondents dinner is no place for that. It’s about creating unity between journalists and those in power they cover.
Ask your friend @mitchellreports and @morningmika about that.
I still have the right to be offended that our press freedom score is falling bc of POTUS' constant attack on the 4th pillar right?
So true! Americans lost site of the of the importance of protecting the Bill of Rights! Sadly, the partisan fights, lies and mind games both sides play are melting the fabric of society.
The First Amendment is under attack. We need to make sure it is protected, even when we don't like the content of the speech. I am offended by what @realDonaldTrump says, but he still has the right to say it.
If the rule of England hadn't offended us would we be where we are today. America.
