Laura Ingraham displays her vast knowledge of the first amendment

Someone should tell her she works for a private business and is supported by ads from businesses. And her boss has the right to tell her to take a week off and her advertisers have the right to spend their ad dollars where they choose.

In a segment that focused on free speech, Ingraham told viewers that “something alarming is taking place.” The “intolerant left” has driven out “any dissenting voice,” leading to a “contraction of free speech,” Ingraham argued. She called the phenomenon the “totalitarian agenda in action,” noting that the “free speech clause of the Constitution doesn’t just apply to speech that elites deem acceptable.”

“It exists to support speech that is by its nature offensive. Offensive to people in power, offensive at times to lawmakers, offensive to Facebook, and even offensive to the cool crowd that thinks that abortion is just a sacred right and that Trump is a dangerous dictator,” Ingraham continued.

She didn't say anything about the first amendment

Free speech is a concept that can exist separate from the government. What she is saying about the left is accurate of course. Visit a campus or hang out on facebook

What did she mean when she said "free speech clause of the Constitution"? I didn't even comment about how the free speech clause is not even in the Constitution. It's in the bill of rights.

All I see on Facebook are posts about the government coming to take our guns. HTH

She's basically saying that the left is driving out free speech from a social standpoint. Which is absolutely true.

The first amendment is free speech without the persecution of the federal government, but I'm sure you already know that. The first amendment does not protect you from the social consequences from your speech, which I'm sure you already know that. The left has used social outcries as a tool to thwart free speech that defers from them on a public forum. The far left is a minority group but they are the loudest and have a far wider media outlet.

This is what will always bring down the left. While Hollywood, and the skinny jean hipsters fornicate all over political correctness, Joe and Mary six pack watch in silence, then use their voices at the polls.

You act like the left has a monopoly on using social outcries as a tool to thwart free speech. And no, the extreme on both sides have a wide media reach. Think how many people get their news from Facebook and Twitter.

Both sides are fucked up in that manner.

I agree that both extremes are wack jobs. But conservatives have fox news, while the left has msnbc, cnn, and talk shows like the view on major brodcasting channels. The left has a wider reach.

The reach is the same for each. You think the farmer in Iowa watches TV news? No they listen to the radio, which is dominated by conservative radio.

Media is not confined to just TV. In any way whatsoever. That's why I chuckle when people bitch about the "liberal media". So many people get their news from brietbart just like many people get their news from Huffington Post. It's all bullshit, just different sides. And maybe I have the wrong friends, but 90% of what I see on FB is conservative.

What’s NPR?

And your FB ads are generated largely because of who your fiends are.

You can actually check your setting preferences to see how Facebook thinks you lean politically. This can impact your ads as well.

NPR is fairly middle of the road, certainly isn't the opposite of Rush.

Actually I'm not talking about ads. The ads I see are mostly for 18 year old Honda quads.

I'm talking about posts my friends share. Although most of my friends are from Montana, Port orchard and Spokane, which clearly aren't exactly liberal hotbeds.
