Speech...

 In the United States, the First Amendment of the Constitution is sacrosanct:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Congress shall not pass laws curtailing the freedom of speech. Congress shall not pass laws curbing the freedom of the press.

In the public imaginary, the First Amendment has turned into the notion that no one  should engage in any act that  limits someone else’s ability to speak.

As a result, it’s common for someone to accuse someone else for violating their first amendment, even though that’s absurd. 

Choosing what  the Media outlet to amplify is not the same as curtailing someone’s ability to speak. 

Just a thought.
