Gives me a little extra respect for AP than before. Don't comply with fascists. Make them show just how incredibly sensitive and ridiculous they are.

Seems like a balanced and fair response /s

This is a pretty open and shut first amendment violation, no?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can't see why. The government isn't telling them what they can't say, only barring them from listening to the administration first hand.

But no worries! The blatant 1st violations will be along soon enough. The notion of free speech is too sacred to us Americans to trash right up from, takes some time.

They are effectively telling them what they can and cannot say by punishing them for not saying the thing the admin wants them to say.

That's actually pretty pathetic

I too, am not allowed into the Oval Office.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

We should make our own Oval Office with blackjack and hookers!

Wait…the official one probably has those too. Blackjack, hookers, AND the Gulf of Mexico!

The Fourth Estate has been dead a long time now. Every once in a while you get someone that pushes back , but then they seem to get quietened.

Repubs were always the cuckflake bitches.

Interesting to note that they’re standing firm on Gulf of Mexico but not Denali.

one is an international body of water, the other is wholly contained within the borders of the u.s. that's why they went that route.

toss another lawsuit on the fire in 4... 3... 2... 1...

Good. Get punished. Don't go along with it. If you start bowing and scraping so you won't get ejected from the oval office, then that will enable that much more the gradual evolution that will lead you along with many other people to get "punished" in ways that are far more severe. Like, barges floating off of Gitmo or working in the fields on a prison labor system severe. It is insane to me that people are taking all of this so lightly and going along with it.

Even from the ideal pro-capitalist hat on; AP benefits from this. It might seem that short term they lose money by not having hot off the press news to sell, but long term they keep their credibility, which is ultimately the product they sell.

Confirmed, the US is a sensitive country

What happened to "snowflakes"? I guess that just like everything else, it was projection.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Yellow snow “flakes”
