15. Technically Fox News is not free speech. It's paid speech.
All the speakers are paid and the network pays to be broadcast.
Of course SCOTUS seems to think that paid speech is just a louder, more worthy level of free speech than actual free speech so the point is moot.

And that speech comes from one of the most popularly followed information sources in the country?
It seems this is getting close to the forbidden 'crying fire in a public place' kind of situation.
You elect the lying SOB to a second term.

Is he even aware that MSNBC is exactly the same?
If you are looking it is freedom of the press, not speech

Personally I think it is hilarious. Nothing better than dummies with their panties in a wad over a cable news channel. That leads to dummies hiding remotes in ceilings at their place of employment... and bragging about it on the internet. :lmao:

How about Harry Reid speaking slanderously about the Koch brothers from the senate floor, where he is protected by law, but won't repeat some of those comments in interviews or in public.

I'd guess probably as well as Doug Bulna's career at Gearhart Chevrolet.
