The basic point of the First Amendment was so that the citizens, who are the sovereign authority of our nation, can read the facts in a free press and make correct decisions in the realm of politics. But our present day mainstream media are now deliberately lying and are refusing to publish the facts about the current administration in Washington.
Back in the old days when someone lied to a king it was treated as an act of treason. The deliberate deception of the citizens by the present mainstream media has the same practical effect.
It is tempting to propose that the deliberate publication of falsehoods as facts should be a punishable offense. But it is also a fact that a power granted to government is a power that will be abused by those in government.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?
