This is plainly intimidation for politically incorrect articles by the press. It's an attack of free press in this country.

You are missing the point. The press is allowed to be biased. They are allowed to say false things. They are allowed to report stories that go against what the current politically correct ideology is.

The government should never intimidate the press when they report politically incorrect ideas and thoughts.

@BalpeenHammer @Dave , not intimidate but without checks and balances it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
We generally do want a press we can trust and not one that spreads falsehoods/lies.

We want a press that's free. Every press outlet has published falsehoods and lies. That's their right.

@BalpeenHammer , yeah well, no wonder then that people don't want to pay for it !
