any regular reader will know that i put quotes around 'our free press' because i see lots of evidence that its not free but controlled and owned while being directed in certain directions. this article will show you some of why i say such a thing;

The foundation on which the United States is built, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, is enshrined in the First Amendment to the US Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Before our eyes, however, this freedom is being distorted, strangled and withheld.

Young people today seem to have no idea of what the media used to be when America was more united. All the newspapers and media outlets recognized and covered the same big stories. The ideal to which journalistic professionalism aspired was objective reporting -- at least an attempt toward it -- and the media at least tried to keep "news" balanced, and separate from opinions and op-eds.

Today, journalism has changed so that the "news" is often conflated with unsupported and biased opinion. Consider Newsweek's story on Senator Ron Johnson's (R-Wis.) poll-supported claim that "Donald Trump would have won the election if the media had given more coverage to unsubstantiated allegations concerning President-elect Joe Biden's son, Hunter." The word "unsubstantiated" is the reporter's opinion -- not a certified fact. As we are seeing now, and as Senator Johnson was doubtless well aware, the allegations were smothered in substantiation. All a reporter had to do was look.

Similarly, some journalists cannot seem to hold themselves back from reporting on Trump's supposedly "baseless" claims of election fraud -- despite eyewitness affidavits, vote count anomalies, abrogations of both the Constitution and states' election laws, and the use of Dominion voting machines and Smartmatic software that are reported to have the capacity to flip votes secretly from one candidate to another.

Widely censored by both Big Tech and the mainstream media was a New York Post article which asserted that an abandoned laptop, the undisputed property of former Vice-President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, implicates him as the family "concierge" for the Biden family's influence-peddling in China -- a country cited by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe as America's "National Security Threat No. 1."...........read more......
