David talks in this segment about not only why they are wrong, but how both are bacon strips on the underwear of freedom.

1. Well done, David, I would just add

That technology is creating a vast network of "citizen journalists" and pushing against this is on the wrong side of history.

2. Ben Franklin and Thomas Payne were a citizen journalists.

I beg to differ with the previous post, as our country was founded on people with the courage to speak out. Aside from that, Schumer is in the pocket of Wall St. Feinstein in the pocket of MacDouglas and other military industrial types. Time to kick them both to the curb for true progressives. Amen to those who seek and report.

3. Only reporters who have bosses to make sure they toe the party line are protected.

In other words, only those who don't need the shield law should be protected by the shield law.
Independent journalists who might get uppity about our foreign policies or spying on U.S. citizens should rot in Guantanamo.

4. It's embarrassing that these two

and every other Democrat who supports them, call themselves Democrats.
