Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes won't be marching in lockstep with the leftist cry parade this coming inauguration of President Trump, and has scolded media for condemning the President-elect while ignoring the blatant threats Democrats made to the 1st Amendment.
From Breitbart:
Speaking to the Business Insider IGNITION conference in New York City, Bewkes pointed out that the Democratic Party 'had a campaign plank to change the First Amendment, and they were doing it in the guise of campaign finance reform.'
Indeed, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ran on an explicit pledge to change the First Amendment in order to overturn the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling, which held that free speech extended to unions and corporations.
Not only did Hillary stand against Citizens United, but the Democratic Party also placed it into their platform for 2016.
"Democrats support a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s decisions in Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo," read the pledge.
Bewkes also scolded the press for ignoring Hillary's threat to free speech.
"The press tends to miss that because they tend to lean that way, and therefore they were supporting what they were viewing — I think overly charitably — as something in cleaning up money in politics when in fact what it would do is restrain multiple voices," he said. "There’s not going to be a serious effort on the Republican side."
President-elect Trump has come under fire more than once for allegedly threatening to curtail free speech, most especially, when he expressed desire to change American libel laws to make it harder for the press to publish inaccurate stories, though he never specifically threatened the 1st Amendment.
