The first amendment simply protects us from being arrested by the government for speaking out against it. We as a society have to decide what is acceptable free speech. Will we tolerate any news source lying to us? Hyperbole sells, so should accept misinformation for the sake of profit?

It's possible, but first, we need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and repeal the Supreme Courts decision on Citizens United. These two things are at least partially responsible for where we find ourselves now battling authoritarianism, oligarchy, and a deeply divided America.

I get your point. It should have been Trump addressing the national regarding the conflict. But he didn't. Newsom is just filling the gap, and it was like a breath of fresh air.
