Should freedom of the press be appealed?

I Think it should. Cause all because of the Journal violated privacy. I dont think reporters should have any freedom. Its a job and my former boss didnt give me any freedom while im on his time. And look what Hitler and Stallin did when press went against them. I think new laws should be made for the press. Like if someone dies because of their reporting the reportor and his editor will stand trial for death penalty.

BTW this poll closes in 10 days

So once you give up freedom of the press what else are you willling to give up?
I am sure there is something you want to keep but if you give that away you give it all away sooner or later

You can report anything..But if someone dies because of your story you and your boss get arrested and stand trial for capitol murder.

Horrible if someone dies but to take away a constitutional right because someone died is silly. Many died so that we may have these rights.

Some people get type two diabetes from McDonalds, should we ban them

I Tried to sue McDonalds cause they caused me type 2 diabetes. But that fucking cheeseburger law that George Bush signed prevented people from doing just that. Just like George Bush signed a law you cant sue a gun shop owner cause he failed to report one of his guns were stolen.

so again

what other constitutional rights are you willing to give up? They wont stop at one

The 5th amendment. Cause it benefits criminals in the courtroom

And can you give me a good argument on how you could justify getting rid of the amendments you do not like while keeping safe the amendments you do like?

If journalists don't have to reveal their sources, they shouldn't be allowed to identify innocent people and put their safety in jeopardy. This paper only had one goal in mind. Pure left wing politics to push an agenda.

Do we even have real journalists anymore? The journalism schools they go to are all taught by left wing profs and they are mostly left wing themselves. Can anyone think of one good journalist who reports ALL the facts without bias?

By "appealed", do you mean "modified" or "amended" or such similar sentiments?

You can't "appeal" a Constitutional provision.

We're in big trouble then.

Thats one of the reasons freedom of the press should be restricted. Look how Hitler and Stallin did things. When a reporter writes a story it goes to the Editor,,If the Editor likes it goes to the govenment for approval. And if its bad enough to critize your leader you get sent to the death camp.

Obama just sends out the IRS...so far.

I have two favorite journalists, and both are women. Each woman has performed some excellent investigative journalism. Surprise surprise, they both work for Fox News. What MAY be a surprise to many is that one woman received a Bachelors degree from Harvard and a Masters degree in "Journalism" from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalisma, the other lady receiving a Bachelors degree in "Comparative Politics" from Harvard, both institutions considered Left-leaning. Nevertheless, in whatever political direction these women lean, one cannot detect from the journalistic objectivity they display in their work.

The journalists are Katherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin. Their excellent work as journalists is virtuslly ignored by mainstream outlets. Both women have performed journalistic work worthy of Pulitzer Prizes, certainly moreso than the folks who've been getting those prizes.

Like i said,,,The Reporter and his editor should be held acountable if someone dies because of story. Its like this ,,,If you spied against your country and if its damaging to national security because you sold secrets you get the death penalty. So in this case some inmate told the guard,,I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! and if he or one of his family members die,,That inmate gets transfer to death row and the reporter and his editor gets tried for death penalty cause his story cause someone t0 die .
