No American should be comfortable with the President of the United States accusing a reporter of treason for critical reporting.
Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

Laura is one of the most dynamic and effective advocates I've ever met. She's a must-listen whenever she speaks, and us First Amendment advocates are very, very lucky to have her on our side. Check out her talk!

Ed Martin didn’t “ask questions” about their “policies.”

ABC's refusal to quietly allow the federal government to dictate the range of viewpoints it may air without fear of retaliation is welcome and commendable. The Federal Communications Commission is not and cannot become the nation's censor-in-chief, as its Chairman once recognized.
