The first amendment in the Bill of Rights adresses freedom of religion, press, speech, and right to assembly. There is a definite separation of church and state long pushed for since Jefferson first addressed it back in the early times of the republic.
Is it time to address the problem of the unification of the press and state? The last few decades have seen a press which has become less and less free and more and more associated with the ruling class in Washington, DC. During the Obama administration high officials were siblings, wives, children, et c related to presidents of major news organizations and said major press outlets seem to slant the news to favor one political party over the other.
Is a public dependent upon a fair presentation of news to form its opinions served well by this bias or slighted? I say the public has been slighted by its press, especially by the press which colludes with the democrat party. CNN, NYT, WP, and the former big three networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC all have been caught collaborating with Hillary Clinton and her DNC. The incestuous relationship, from Brazille to Stephanopholous is open for all to see, even Chelsea Clinton interned for NBC and was paid over half a million dollars for a no show position.
Should the public demand a separation of Press and State to insure the fair reporting of issues important to the nation and its citizens?
The answer is a resounding yes.
That the major news outlets and the nations once great newspapers have been unable to destroy president Trump with their blatant attacks on him 24/7 since his taking the helm is testament to the public's opinion of todays news organizations.
We do not take anything they say, report, write, or spew over the radio, television, or cable outlets at face value. They don't call it fake news for nothing!
There is no doubt the Clinton Foundation is a money laundering scheme, yet no major investigative reporters will tackle this story.
The Obama administration was up to its eyeballs in political hi jinx with Guns via Fast and Furious, and a secret Iran deal, and toppling Mid East governments and arming ISIS, and spying on Donald Trump's campaign, but where is the reportage?
Does anyone reading this believe for a minute Hillary Clinton did not use the server in her bathroom for her own protection so she could communicate without the public being aware of her pay for play schemes? She is as guilty as Nixon in covering up the Watergate break in, but Nixon was covering another's crime and Hillary was using her private email to cover her own crimes.
And that gentle giant, 6 foot 8 inch James Comey saw fit to let her go which was what Obama, Hillary, and Lynch had hoped for, though we cannot be sure anyone passed this on to him because he is not leaking items from the democrat side. And former president Clinton met with AG Lynch a few days before Comey's great unveiling of his findings about the Clinton server? Coincidence?
Of course!
To get to the heart of this reasoning, I believe Americans have the right to a free press, free speech, freedom of religion, and rights to assemble. The government must stay out of the press and the press must stay out of government to keep personal bias out of coverage of national events, election news, and stop political witch hunts like the one we are watching against President Trump.
Trump was elected by the people under the constitution by garnering more electoral college votes than the troll, even though she was pushed and pulled towards the finish line by every major media outlet. The troll had the power of the biased press, 2 billion dollars in campaign money, a statistical advantage in the electoral college map before the election, some saying she only had to win 30 EV votes to become the first woman president. But Americans rejected the troll for The Donald because he was smarter, richer, greater, kinder, more sincere, and he worked harder for his votes and promised to work hard for the common American and not for the special interests that had backed the troll 9 to 1 in campaign contributions. And besides Trump was a man.
Did I mention he has a beautiful wife? And a wonderful family? The troll has Bubba Clinton and Chelsea?
Did I mention Trump made billions the hard way and the troll gathered bribes and pay offs for political favors to get her billions?
Did I mention Trump is a tireless worker and a great deal maker, and the troll is tired and sick?
We need a separation of the press and state and it must be soon.
I am,
Jackson Delano Maybolt President Urban Poverty Law Center
