When a sitting US president attacks the operation of Private Companies Attacking people - even crackpots - in the media and twitter and industry yes, that IS an attack on 1A. They subtlety might have been lost here, FB and Apple did not impact 1A but when the POTUS calls for it it is an attack on Free Speech and the 1A.

Sorry I am not the one having issues spotting the difference I see clearly you feel the senator comments are more concerning to you then the POTUS litany of comments against the free press

I would think you would be able to spot the difference.. really ? you used disturbing for both Trump and the press another false equivalence

Trumps treatment overall of the Press is disturbing. The Press' use of BIAS as disturbing

But than again Conservatives think Money doesn't restrict free speech rather money equals speech

Trumps treatment of the press is disturbing. The Press's treatment of the truth is suspect at best and it's wielding of Bias is unacceptable. I am sorry you are not unable to separate the two

Vox and Slate may be liberal but they're not conspiracy driven.

I've said this many times but the left doesn't have 1/10th of the disinformation machine that the right does. It's not even close.

When it is the Right wing they are nuts, when it is Progressives it is Activism ; )
