RE: The Battle to Free Assange is the Battle for Freedom of the Press, and Affects Freedom for All

The idea that reporting can be construed as endangering is somehow ridiculous. The idea that media can be silenced by threats of jail time has been on the horizon for a long time. During the NDAA lawsuit it was made clear that the government is intending to harm free speech by arresting journalists who are "known to associate" with terrorists.

Free speech is equally guaranteed, there is no hierarchy of speech.

Sort:  

It is ridiculous indeed.
