@dunpender doesn't need to be "government controlled" to not be free.

@PikachuTrainer possibly not entirely free but they have the guts not to stand by and swallow all the shit he spouts out

@Adaydreambeliever right, and what about all the shit the Democrats spout out? Both sides of the fence spout out shit

@dunpender but even with that definition is the press still free? Even in the UK the press will only post what is in their Agenda, which is dictated to them by bureaucrats, and often or not, they will target freelance journalists in order to discredit them. So we can't exactly say it is "free".
The press is doing their job and I haven't seen any accusations of lies being filed, prosecuted, proved, and found guilty, of being "The Enemy Of The People". The Constitution is not written to protect him from the people it is written to protect the people from a criminal in the Office Of President that HE swore under oath to protect. He is trying to Obstruct Justice. @PikachuTrainer

@softspokenman and what makes him a criminal? Since as far as I know, he hasn't actually committed any crime, or been prosecuted for any crime in order to be called a criminal.

@dunpender but would that press truly be free however? That is the question I'm asking here. And yes I am aware that defamation is usually sorted out in the courts.
Have you never seen him or heard him lie in public for our all our allies and all our enemies to see and hear ? I have, and anyone who has seen his Speech's, Tweets, and Interviews with the News Media that he calls "The Enemy of the people" has also. I am not the POTUS he is. Are we going to receive the 10 % tax cut for the middle class that he said right before the mid-terms to influence votes ? And You want ME to prove MY accusations but HE doesn't need to prove any of his and you will defend him? @PikachuTrainer
