Ok then, now how do we do this without the suspension of the free press and state censorship? There are already laws in place to stop incitement to violence even in the ''free world of America''. Whenever I tried to support UK rules about incitement to hate I got a lot of ''thin edge of the wedge'' arguments thrown back in my face. I still don't think ''we can't do that because it might lead to this'' is a valid argument but I never supported a crime of biased reporting law like you seem to be doing.
When the press is no longer the 4th pillar, but an extension of one of the three, it is time to tare it down and rebuild it to be exactly what it was meant to be.

Don't forget, the media is controlled/owned by only a handful of people, it is a monopoly on a scale that should not exist.

Who owns those companies? Now don't forget we also have the same issue with newspapers as well.

We need to break up this bastardization of what we call the media, they all answer to about a dozen or so people, especially the big papers and media entities...

When one paper runs a story, they all run it... it's not because they can't come up with their own story, its because they are all parroting the same thing because of ownership. Instead of doing their own research, or any at all it is easier to repeat than report.

There are stories every year that come along and shouldn't be national stories, but they are. Like the story 10 years ago where the husband killed the wife in the new fishing boat around Christmas. I still don't know why that local story became national.

Enjoy your rights America.
If gun control is not the answer( which probably isn't viable due to the insane numbers of guns out there already) what is the answer? Please don't reply ''it's mainly blacks dying'' as if that makes it OK.
The answer is a functioning mental-health system, and a return to accountability in our business culture - things that are much more difficult than simply gunning down people when they snap.
Well, a decent healthcare system available to all regardless of ability to pay would be a good thing all round, but you can't have that ''cos Communism''. I mean mental health problems while not exclusively the problem of the poor are more common amongst the less wealthy I should imagine.
So where does that leave you? I'm pretty sure that more guns isn't the answer, fewer guns is unacceptable to many and controls against crazy people having guns is against the second for some reason.
Do you really just have to accept 93 deaths a day cos ''freedoms and rights'' ?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Apparently, yeah. We'll just keep gunning people down when they snap, because that's freedumb.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

Either we retain the second amendment or we repeal it.
The point of my posting that shithead's response to the assassination attempt was that when democrat nutters and Muslims pull a trigger a cacophony of assholes start screeching gun control seeming to forget that the crimes were committed despite all the laws passed to prevent such things from happening. They don't want to address the issue. Dozens of young black males die in Democrat run cities every weekend, in gun-free zones, gunned down by convicted felons and illegal aliens while the mayors of those same cities talk about gun control without ever offering any real solutions. "Stop and frisk" takes guns off the street, but that's racist; "three strikes, your out" is racist; more minorities in jail, however violent, is racist.
Keep your machetes and your bombs and your trucks of peace; stay on your islands with your magically blue blooded house of lords and your right honorable bullshit along with your meaningless elections which the losers somehow win. We're all right, thanks for your concern.

Of course, lets not forget Soros... who is the money behind a good portion of the Democrat slander machine...

That's a bullshit number. More than half are suicides. Some other percentage are lawful homicides (self-defense). The actual number of gun murders is pretty low.

Irrelevant, if it was 93 Million the US would be wiped out in two days...

And for those "93" if we got rid of Illinois crime in the US would go down significantly, and that is if, and only if those 93 are actually violent crimes.
