Freedom of the Press for who?

America boasts being home of the free, but independent journalist Brandon Jourdan says that the members of the press aren't as free to do as the First Amendment makes them out to be. Speaking from Netherlands on World Press Freedom Day, Jourdan recounts his tales of being arrested for documenting American events and being detained and searched regularly at border crossings.

RT should do a swimsuit calender, with all the lovely women news anchors.

Be mindful RT is STATE OWNED AND SPONSERED.

If the government can give you certain rights, and then take them away when you most need them; they are not rights but privileges. America is a nation of privileges. Some require proof of qualification - car drivers, airplane pilots, river boat captains. Others do not - Looking, hearing, walking, talking, breathing, writing. If you think you have rights, look up "Jappanese Americans - 1942"; and that will tell you about all your precious "rights".

@endtimesfuntimes I'm not keen on swimsuits. Much better wearing nothing. Much nicer.

Good grief! What part of "we're all socialists now" don't you people understand? You will submit yourself, your work, and the product of that work to the State! Submit to the Messiah President of the Earth!

Listen to the request for a swimsuit calendar. Have the rothschilds poisons in our food water and air begun to work or what. Our society is nothing but soft wussies. Letting these wimp zions fool you with their fake news on cnn msnbc and fox and the rest of the american propagandist. I never noticed it until an injury. I was forced to be bedridden for 9 months and checked out the entire net. WOW we've been lied to. the protocols of zion are true. Check it out. Look up "Kosher tax" also

MSM is owned by the government. The government is a terrorist cell. Look.... a real American wouldn't put the nation through these major rights violations. A real American government would follow the laws, and the constitution, only a terrorist with ulterior motives would dare violate the most sacred document to our sovereignty as a nation. Admit it, a real American would show the respect deserved, not shred it. Those aren't the governments rights being violated those are OUR rights.
