What kind of society exsits without a free press, unrestrained by oligarchs, willing to hold elected officials to account, and powered by the interests of ordinary citizens? Humanity is a story of relations of power, speaking truth to those who hold it is essential. Thanks for sharing @atrupar.com - ThreadSky

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

Donald Trump is a rapist. He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, his kids' childhood, contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped shareholders, over 20 women, raped Ukraine, raped Christianity, the constitution & now the FREE PRESS. He won't stop until he's horizontal.

The Media Consolidation kicked off in the 80s led to this, without a plurality of owners, it's a simple matter to control the media. You only have to make like 6 calls these days to cow ALL OF THEM.

Every Democratic senator or representative who casts even one vote with Republicans should be primaried and removed from office. They are complicit in the destruction of the United States of America.

Thank you, Katie Porter, for the idea of props. It must drive them crazy.

The concept of a free press still exists, although the means of distribution have been acquired by those who oppose it.

That's certainly one (very apt) way to describe it, and makes me feel even more proud to be part of @bylinesnetwork.co.uk - grassroots, democractic, ctiizen led and freely distributed in a way that is accessible to all. A different kind of press, if you will.

The AP persisted in spreading misinformation. It’s now the Gulf of America. Calling it the Gulf of Mexico is a falsehood/lie/misrepresentation of the facts and irresponsible. The AP can pound sand and whine and cry like a baby if it can’t act like an adult.

It's Orwellian madness and capitulating is collaborating.

No free press, unwilling to hold elected officials to account, and oblivious to the interest of ordinary citizens. I know what kind of society that is! AMERICAN!
