Even if they are flat out WRONG, they still have a Constitutional RIGHT to express their Beliefs.
Freedom comes in two parts, the Freedom to do what you want, and the Freedom to do what you ought. What we OUGHT to do is protect the Right of the People to express beliefs than we do NOT agree with, rather than ONLY those which support an "official narrative". That means you are just as protected, and we can disagree, and STILL get along just fine because we will agree on MANY other things.
The thing is, the Popular thing to say will NEVER need to be afforded the Protections of the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment exists to protect the Unpopular thing to say. And right now on this topic, the Unpopular thing depends on who you ask and where you are. Unpopular here means "the election was not stolen" but I still have to take the higher road and DEFEND your Right to express that belief. The Unpopular thing pretty much country wide is still that "the election was not stolen". But, the Unpopular thing as far as Media (not all journalists are MSM, like Ben Swann) is "the election was stolen". The 1st Amendment exists so we ALL have the right (notice how that is inclusive of EVERYONE without regard to race color or gender?) to express our beliefs.
Now, in a court of law, we also have Innocent Until Proven Guilty. So is American Journal Guilty of expressing incorrect information? Not until it is PROVEN in a Court of Law. Until it is PROVEN, to me, it is simply a Belief, which does allow room for errors and lets me and everyone else change their minds.
Which would you prefer? A one sided narrative, or expression of beliefs that differ by everyone equally?
