We need to stop and think about whether we want our "free press" to be "free press that Coca Cola will still buy ads in front of".

We already have it, to an extent, but I don't think people cheering this really understand what's happening.

She's not really press though. This isn't advertisers pulling out on Chris Wallace or Shepard Smith. She's an opinion host crying for attention. No journalist would attack a kid that survived a shooting.

Good points here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... story.html

Quote:
Sometimes the young are wiser than their elders. Days after the survivors of the Stoneman Douglas slaughter stunned the world with the 800-city #MarchForOurLives and their brilliantly effective call for laws to stem the tide of gun violence, retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens handed the gun lobby a rhetorical howitzer.

For years, that lobby’s most effective way to shoot down proposed firearms regulations has been to insist, falsely, that any new prohibition would lead to the eventual ban of all firearms. It is easy for those who revile our lax gun laws to lose sight of how many Americans cherish the right of law-abiding citizens to keep guns at home for self-defense or hunting.

The NRA’s strongest rallying cry has been: “They’re coming for our beloved Second Amendment.” Enter Stevens, stage left, boldly calling for the amendment’s demise, thereby giving aid and comfort to the gun lobby’s favorite argument.


Quote:
. . . our solemn obligation is to focus on the real obstacle to progress in gun regulation. That obstacle is not the Second Amendment but the addiction of lawmakers to the money of firearms manufacturers and other unimaginably wealthy funders. That, coupled with the gun lobby’s ability to mobilize single-issue gun rights voters, is set against the backdrop of a gun culture and national history that valorizes guns. None of those realities would be eliminated by erasing the Second Amendment’s 27 words from the Constitution.

I survived a house blaze once when I was at the grocery store when my neighbor flung a lit cigarette into the wind and it flew back and lit the siding on fire.

You don't think being an entertainer makes a difference? Am I missing a larger point?

It's the free market at work.

Maybe Coca Cola could have stopped Hiltler!

Literally yes she is not acting as a journalist. But ask Dan Bernstein. I have said this for years and many here just ignore it. The people on cable news in prime time are doing opinion shows. The "news" fake or otherwise is from 6am to 6pm est. mostly.

The networks have taken more of that time. It's down to about 4 or 5 hours of straight news a day across the board. We're primarily being entertained.
