Even anti-trump journalists are calling out the article

I gotta say, it sets a really bad precedent when a private citizen, particularly someone who is working a blue collar job, has their identity publicly revealed simply because they made a video of a politician appearing to be drunk. His identity offers nothing to this story.


I could give two shits about this guy, but news orgs have to decide, if the person's conduct isn't against the law, does the story benefit by naming them? Story is newsworthy, discovering who made the video important, naming them isn't..doesn't add anything. Sets bad precedent



Fake funny videos/pics of politicians are extremely common. They make up basically the majority of FB political discourse these days. They are a way for people to express dislike of elected officials.....freedom of speech

It is very bad to start doxxing people. For journalists to be doing it is really bad.

Sue the person doing the doxxing into the stone age and it will stop. Or, Doxx the bastard that doxxed you and let's see how that person likes the limelight.

But muh, anonymous sources tell us and we can't divulge our sources muh.

I realise that isn't the same thing here, but it shows how disingenuous they all are. They will out you if they so wish, and it should ruin their career for doing so.

The right to privacy is absolutely a penumbra right read into the 4th, 5th, and 10th amendments of the constitution repeatedly by the Supreme Court. The entire abortion and contraceptives debate is based on a right to privacy.

Several States have it though in the State Constitution or other codes.

But someone needs to get Federally Funded to "Study the Environmental Impact of Tar and Feathers As Applied in a Traditional Social Justice Format".

It sounds like he made a video that deliberately attempted to mislead people. I don’t have a problem calling people out for that.

What would you sue for? If their story is accurate, then what possible claim do you have? He wasn’t libeled if what they wrote is accurate.

So every person who makes a dumb fake anti trump video deserves to be outed?

It's a threat to those who would offer up similar videos, pics, or other evidence against the leftist elite.

If you join in the conversation and deliberately lie, don’t be surprised when people call you on it. It doesn’t matter who the candidate is. Too many people sit behind keyboards and throw bombs thinking they have anonymity. That’s just not true. It also doesn’t help that I think stuff like he did is toxic for our political discourse so I’m glad he got called on it.

I’m sorry I did not answer the question. Yes, if someone makes a fake anti-Trump video, I have no problem with him being identified on it. As I said, we have too much lies out there. People can have a difference of opinion or view facts differently, but if you are modifying video and passing it off as true, that’s just a lie. That has no useful purpose.

This is not the way to fix the political discourse, man.

Why do you support the idea of people making deliberately misleading info and not getting called out? I’m not saying what they did is illegal or anything like that but freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
