This is Fox News. It's a give me that they are going to make this into something it's not to attempt to assist Republicans... Nothing to see here, go ahead and move on...
I see, so unless it is the government issuing warnings about freedom of speech/thought, everything is just fine in your book.
I just do not get the modern day leftists/liberals. It use to be that freedom of speech was cherished by old school liberals, a point that I agreed with them on.
However in our country, the government is not the only arbiter of what is freedom of speech as the media plays a huge role.
For groups to demand the press not use certain words to describe who they support with threats of reprisals, should not go unchallenged.
"Freedom of speech" does only refer to the government's role in regulating the speech of citizens. It has nothing to do with social backlash for one's words.

You're right, this isn't a freedom of speech issue. It's about this goofy group of women who support HRC and the goofier list of 'coded sexist' words they came up with.
In my view many of you are missing the point by focusing on what the 1st Amendment applies to regarding the government.
If entities outside of government, including powerful financial interests can stifle and suppress the media into not doing their jobs, all our freedoms are diminished as a result. Political Correctness already does this to the degree people will keep views to themselves, if they know the PC police will try to ruin them for expressing it.
Suffice to say the media is already acting like 99lbs weaklings in doing proper investigate journalism compared with the Woodward & Bernstein days.
If the media with all their resources can be thwarted by power political interests to be PC (and in this case well beyond) when reporting about their candidate, we as a society are already in trouble.
What do you think we have around here anyway? A first amendment?
The liberal version of the 1st Amendment now only covers PC speech. So if they detect even the slightest thing that can be perceived as racist/sexist etc., they want to try to ruin the person.
However if you look at that list they came up with, it is absurd to think some of those terms have anything to do with sexism.
Instead it looks like they thought of any of her vulnerabilities and came up with words the media is not suppose to use to highlight them.

My guess is that the biggest sin would be to utter or write of the existence of of "kankles." All the pantsuits in the world can't conceal those.
Now if you'll excuse me, there are some black helicopters overhead I need to direct to the landing pad.

I do think it would be a huge mistake to say anything about her physically. That said, her age should be fair game like it is with all older candidates.
I know women are sensitive about it, but her age is a public record, she has had health issues, and she is after all running for the most important position on the entire planet.
