Are there actually any real news organizations left?

Freedom of speech is all well and good as long as they're saying things you agree with.

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are "against" him.

I don't like it, if that's really the suggestion. Not at all.

I am surprised at what some consider to be a right to free speech, however. Notably, the very same people who celebrated Charlie Kirk being murdered in front of his family for exercising his right to free speech by speaking undeniable facts in a public forum, are suddenly all tore up over Jimmy Kimmel being fired for spreading disinformation over public media.

Seems a little hypocritical, doesn't it?

We had our own traps though Peter!
