quote:Yeah, just what we need, more protected classes of people.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said in a release that Trump’s labeling the press “a stain on America” and “an enemy of the American people” has encouraged people to find violence against journalists more acceptable.
“President Donald Trump’s campaign and administration have created a toxic atmosphere,” Swalwell said. “It’s not just about labeling reports of his constant falsehoods as #FakeNews – it’s his casting of media personalities and outlets as anti-American targets, and encouraging people to engage in violence.”
I think journalist should be afraid of spreading their fake news. frick this bill.

Journalists are such hero’s

I bet Swalwell wants Julian Assange murdered.

Nope. They should have same protections as other citizens. They are nothing special.

More proof that “journalists” were the kids nobody liked in school and always got beat up.
Newspaper columnists getting blinded by monsters? Bad.
Yellow journalists getting their clock cleaned by the subject of the articles? Justice.

Pelosi, Schiff for brains, and Swallows are such an embarrassment to this country

As soon as they make Fake News that endangers others a federal crime I’m fine with them being protected by federal law.

Can we make assault of citizens lawfully exercising 2nd amendment rights also a federal crime?

The plan to make “journalists” a protected class has begun.

Scratch one downvote. I voted with a kneejerk reaction to the idea of protecting the lying press even more than it is. They are safe if they tell the truth. Not to mention the leniency of retractions. Phuk 'em. Get to work.

i suggest no closed season or bag limit on journalist
Posted on 2/6/18 at 6:13 pm to bhtigerfan
Has any reporter been beat up yet?
Posted on 2/6/18 at 6:14 pm to bhtigerfan
I don’t think this is a very good idea.
Everyone is a journalist these days.

The people who want to "protect" journalists are the same folks who shill for the people that killed Michael Hastings.
