The Senate impeachment trial for former President Trump continues today, and New York Times columnist and North Korea apologist Nick Kristoff is wondering if Fox News should be made to be a co-defendant of sorts:
My new column: "Can we put Fox News on trial with Trump?" With a couple of suggestions for how to do that. Hint: Should every American with basic cable have to pay $20 a year to Fox News to underwrite extremists and seditionists? https://t.co/1aM08SDlho pic.twitter.com/z8BIVPdC55

So… free speech must be killed in order to save it?
What in Hell's name is the matter with you? I'm old enough to remember when journalists stuck for free speech and a free press. #1A https://t.co/7lcXoZC89u

Imagine the NYT triggering of Fox News was actively trying to get people to cancel their NYT subscriptions.
I can't believe not being humiliated to be associated with the New York Times right now. This is all the more shameful for it, too. https://t.co/Bh7rr58pdt

NY Times columnist promotes silencing a competing news outlet. No one is forced to subscribe to any cable package. Freedom of the press for thee, but not for my competitor. https://t.co/QnAvDrBrXQ

It also works the other way around, and imagine the liberal “First Amendment” hyperventilating if the roles were reversed:

Bingo! And yet they don’t care that many taxpayers don’t want their money funding the likes of Planned Parenthood or NPR.
