What happened to freedom of press?


rolling on the floor laughing Funnier than what I got when as a free-lance writer, I sent one publisher an article about ‘foreign aid’ by the US to then Communist Mozambique. No reply after 2 wks, so I sent it again and received a curt reply from the editor that ‘if I send another item, we file harassment charges against you’…When I worked for a paper in Wash. DC, I wrote an article about how people from other countries should have the same rights as do those in the US that travel overseas to assassinate their citizens and should start with US Congresspeople and Senators. I got a visit by the FBI accusing me of all sorts of subversive and coercive acts. The publisher raged hell and they backed off…the up shot was that no one outside the Govt. had a right to kill US or other citizens...laugh

I read an interesting post....


When my brain gets bored, it goes on a wander, it is never good when it wanders out of my mouth.
