    It has started. Pretext to authoritarianism: Trump demands Republicans ‘kill’ the bipartisan bill that would give journalists greater protections. More authoritarian insanity and destruction likely!

    Fascist Calls On GOP to Kill Bill Designed to Protect Journalists

     

    "The fact that Trump is railing against the PRESS Act tells us everything we need to know: He wants no shackles when it comes to attacking, intimidating, silencing the press," warned one legal expert.

    Journalists and press freedom advocates this week responded to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's attack on a proposed federal shield law with renewed calls for the Senate to pass the House-approved bill before he returns to office in January.

     Broad bipartisan support for the bill to protect freedom of the press as it was passed in the house unanimously

    The truth will set you free. If you have journalistic integrity, if you report the truth, then you have nothing to worry about. If you print slanderous falsehoods, then you better have receipts.

    Democrats make it seem like Trump is concocting new laws, or making changes to existing laws, in order to go after the press. All Trump is saying is leave the law as it us. Leave is it was under Obama for 8 years, W. Bush for 8 years, Biden for the last 4. Just leave well enough alone.

    More from Jess Corbett:

    The bipartisan Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying (PRESS) Act, which passed the House in January, would bar the federal government from forcing journalists and telecommunications companies to disclose certain information, to protect sources and reporting materials, with exceptions for threats of terrorism or imminent violence.

    Several states have various shield laws, but advocates have long pushed for one at the federal level. Given Trump's long-standing hostility toward the press—which he has called "the enemy of the people"—there were fresh demands for Senate action after he won the presidential election earlier this month.

    an_light Definitely need with a pseudo-FASCIST crime boss coming to power without any traditional guardrails!

    Passed by the REPUBLICAN-majority HOUSE already by unanimous consent!

    But the fascist opposes it so that he can seek to stop media from reporting on his coming corruption...

    Ah yes ! "anonymous sources"..

    Like whats going on now ..under the Biden Administration..

    Catherine Herridge,a reporter for CBS News, was ordered by a Barack Obama nominated District Judge to disclose the identity and motive of her sources...Herridge is being held in contempt for not he provided the information....refusing to identify her source for a series of stories about a woman with ties to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

    The judge fined her $800 a day for refusing to divulge her sources and threatened her with jail time ...The judge delayed enforcement of the fine to allow Herridge to appeal..

    REPUBLICAN KEVIN KILEY; Based on the feedback we’ve received from Senators and President Trump, it’s clear we have work to do to achieve consensus on this issue,” he said. “I’m looking forward to working with the new Administration on a great many areas of common ground as we begin a new era of American prosperity.”
