Outlaw Reporting

Lawmakers are pushing legislation through Congress that will criminalize reporting on illegal activities and corruption in the US government.

Could this really be true? Need to find a bill number..

Only thing I could find is that some want to push this in Congress & in typical fashion they don't want to punish the leaker that may be one of them but rather the reporter if he or she leaks it out to the public.

You realize the source material is from Russia.


Just sayin, not to step on yer toes, but some of the things seem a bit suspect. As much as I repect Putin as a leader , (don't confuse respect as likeing ) he's KGB and he would love nothing better than the destruction of the US.

Notice how he laughs at the amature we call Barry. Like many other national leaders our latest attempt at leadeship amounts to bowing and apologizing for our counrty...and in the case of Israel scared "C"hitless if (OK When) Obama abandons them.
