    I bet he thought "freedom of reach" was really clever. It would not be so clever if the government told him that henceforth he is free to do his show from his living room without broadcasting it, like Kramer doing Merv Griffin.https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1355912037499613185 …

        Well yes... because that’s the government doing it. Not individuals refusing to broadcast his show. That’s the entire distinction that he was making

        This tweet of yours does not convey any confidence that you understand the First Amendment, which one would ordinarily think might bother you a bit.

        Stelter is fundamentally dishonest but in that clip he isn’t arguing for government interference. He sounds like Limbaugh for most of his career when he said that freedom of speech doesn’t mean you have the right to be heard.

        But are we dealing with "the government" threatening to censor someone -- or with privately owned companies potentially rethinking whom they distribute? There's a world of difference between the two.

        There is, but the "freedom of reach" principle would be ruinous if applied to the freedom vs the government.

        Sure you can have freedom of speech, just don’t be too loud with it....

        Well yeah because that would be a pretty clear violation of the first amendment. What Stelter is talking about isnt. This isn’t just a false equivalence, it’s laziness
