The media makes it hard to believe in the First Amendment.
This was Chris Hayes last month:
The US is almost certainly going to have the worst outbreak in the world pretty soon.

This is Chris Hayes yesterday:
This is a a very obvious point and has been obvious from the beginning but as the global picture fills in over time, there is *absolutely* no fricking way China only had 3300 fatalities from this virus.

If a surgeon left a scalpel in you and realized after the fact that he did, you could sue him into oblivion and he’d probably go to jail.
If a licensed engineer looked at the rubble of a bridge and said: “Oops, I forgot to carry the one.” He’d be sued into oblivion and probably go to jail.
If a talking head with MSNBC realizes that he said perhaps the stupidest fucking thing imaginable because he believed the Chinese government’s propaganda, he gets to carry on with his show collecting millions of dollars in salary.
I believe in the right to a free press.
But I also believe when you have some stupid fucker like Hayes saying shit like this which scares the crap out of people because he’s so consumed with TDS and a Leftist reflexive dislike of America that he really needs to suffer some sort of actual, factual painful punishment for it.
Nazis marching in the streets don’t make me want to curb the First Amendment. They have that right to free speech and I have a right to keep and bear arms.
Some dumbass, shit-for-brains journalist being this wrong while trying to appear to be an intellectual authority makes me want to throw him a prison cell for the rest of his life.
I get the dry heaves every time one of these talking heads is referred to as a journalist. I prefer the term “news actor.” It’s more accurate.
“…and has been obvious from the beginning”. Yes, but he and his fellow travelers have claimed otherwise all that time, and either ridiculed or slandered anyone who pointed out the obvious.
