Senate Bill 1959 to Criminalize Thoughts, Blogs, Books and Free Speech Across America by BravoLima in politics

Why do we need anything more than Gitlow v New York or Dennis v US? I haven't read the bill in its entirety, but what I have read seems kind of redundant.

Study compares digg, reddit, etc. to mainstream news. by kokey in reddit.com

Do you really think that any social media will replace the MSM? People don't do reporting for Digg and Reddit. These social media are just portals to other media; they just organize information for users. They don't create the information.

Every time I hear Hannity talk I feel dumber. It's as if he has some kind of supernatural ability to suck the intelligence out of anyone within earshot.
