If Donald Trump holds a press conference and nobody comes, does it make a sound?

  A better question is - do you think current politicians are so perfect that you can trust them with controlling who can and can not have press conferences? Surely they would never abuse it for any other ends when they're done with Donald Trump!

    Who ever said anything about politicians controlling who can have press conferences? I can't even characterize that as a straw man, because it has no basis in anything I said.

      Politicians control censors on Twitter (you don't think it's random that all prominent politicians from the right are censored and all prominent politicians from the left are not?) and Facebook. Censors control who gets access to the public discussions. Ergo, politicians control access to public discussions.

        Politicians are not directing Twitter to censor anyone. That would violate the first amendment. Why haven't these "censored" politicians won any lawsuits to get un-censored, then? Your argument falls flat on its face.

          > That would violate the first amendment. No it would not, since they are not doing it by means of the law. They do not need to force them by law, because key figures in Twitter and prominent leftist politicians belong to the same party and work for the same common goal - elimination of any possibility of dissenting from the partisan platform in any public space, and strict uni-party control of all speech on the internet (at least within the United States). > Why haven't these "censored" politicians won any lawsuits to get un-censored, then Because Twitter is a private company not covered by First Amendment, duh...
