Addendum, he is also going to sue 60 minutes

Fascism has arrived in the United States of New America

Leave it to jeff to get it exactly wrong.

1. Balance or diversity of opinion is not automatically a virtue in journalism. Accuracy is. Having the courage to publish hard facts against the powers that be the most important virtue.

2. OAN or Newsmax or Foxnews spewing republican propaganda is not the same as the NYT accurately reporting -------- crimes. It simply isn't. And I will even grant that there is bias against the truth across the spectrum-though it is far worse on the conservative side.

3. This is actually about major news organizations publicly bowing to political pressure. That is obscene and should be terrifying to everyone, even you. This portends the future of journalism will be to NOT cover the ------- administration honestly or courageously.

4. We are seeing the effects of an ongoing assault on press freedom. You think it a coincidence ABC settled what was nothing more than a nuisance lawsuit? ABC was sued because Stephanopoulos said ------- was an adjudicated rapist-something even the trial judge said. That type of statement CLEARLY falls within the realm of press freedom for a public figure like -------. What damage did --------uffer from Stephanopoulos saying that? ------- is obviously a public figure. That type of statement is or was simple acceptable to state.

5. ABC is owned by Disney; Disney has been dealing with litigation from Florida over Disney's criticism of the Don't Say Gay bill. That has OBVIOUSLY made them gun shy on covering republican issues or criticizing -------.

6. To give you perspective jeff, this is sort of like Hannity going to Delaware and pledging to back off on Hunter Biden criticism. Or FoxNews settling a theoretical lawsuit that Biden brought against them for saying the Biden Crime Family.

7. You think that the recent attacks and surrenders by press organizations will make right wing propaganda machines more or less honest? FoxNews paid, what, 3/4 of a billion dollars for spewing lies. Lies they admitted to and all proof indicating it (so no there is NO equivalence between what Fox and ABC did)? Or do you think it will be a permission structure for them to lie more?

This assault is astounding honestly. And the damage cannot be understated. If the press is afraid to report on stuff ------- is doing or to editorialize on it, well there goes another MAJOR guardrail on -------- presidency.

Christ you morons are not even worth engaging.

No one is arguing that a private company doesn't have the right to endorse whomever they please. the problem is that bezos did it to protect his business interests and preemptively acquiesced to trump.

Fox was sued by a private company, NOT the president or DoJ. There is ZERO equivalence between a private company successfully suing a news agency for lies that damaged their business and the Potus-elect suing a media company and the media company caving to that lawsuit for what falls firmly within allowable speech.

60 Minutes did with the Harris interview what every single tv interviewer does full stop.

The rest of the responses are, honestly, unreadable and/or nonsensical
