Robert Reich masterfully turns Ann Coulters free speech gripes into smackdown on Trumps media war
Robert Reich masterfully turns Ann Coulter’s ‘free speech’ gripes into smackdown on Trump’s media war
“The libel laws should not be widened (as Trump has suggested),” Reich explained. “We really do need a free press. One thing that concerns me about the present administration is the willingness of the administration to not only talk about widening the libel laws and also criminal laws — flag burning — but even the president of the United States, last night, using a (rally) in Harrisburg to summon his supporters and criticize the press once again.”
“This is dangerous,” Reich added. “I mean, if we believe in the First Amendment, we believe in a free and independent press.”
