My point is wondering if it'll be enforced. You had plenty of left leaning journalists who made claims like 'Supporting Trump makes you a Nazi' and 'A vote for trump is a vote against women.'
All of these were personal opinions (which they are allowed to have), but they were tweeting them from their Twitter Profiles where they inundate you with the fact that they work for CNN, NYT, etc.
They were using their position as a journalist to try to promote their own opinions as news fact.
That's what the problem is. I have no problem if they personally believe that anyone who voted for Trump is 'literally Hitler' or any other thing they want to believe.
Using their position as a journalist to broadcast that personal opinion to others who will then believe it is another. Where do you think the whole idea came of these cliche comments about Trump came from? They came from one liners that journalists were posting on Twitter to their Hundreds of Thousands of followers who then retweeted it, etc.
And here in lies the rub with the Modern Left. As a classical liberal (which people consider right leaning these days), I have no problem with what someone on the left believes.
However those on the left have a problem if I don't believe what ~they~ want me to believe, and they certainly dont want me to be able to say anything they don't agree with.
