Enemy of the people

Hey fake news. I’m pretty sure that you’re a bigger enemy of the people than Alex Jones, but Alex Jones had to go. Why what the hell was that? So yeah, what do you want the people you say, Surrender Your Guns, open your borders, get rid of your police. You’re the enemy of the people.

Here we go again: Alex Jones is spreading lies and misinformation, or what you would call “fake news” and that’s been proven time and again. He’s an entertainer pretending to be news. I know people who lost loved ones in the Sandy Hook shooting, and that a$$hole wants to spread lies that it was all fake. F**k Alex Jones.

This “enemy of the people” rhetoric is nonsense. Journalists are part of “the people” and work hard to inform the public. Some

of us are Conservative, some of us are Liberal, but most of us fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. The only people who don’t want you to be informed are the government officials trying to be shady. We out corruption. We are government watchdogs. No one is trying to take all your guns. Some people, not journalists, are trying to ban some types of guns, but newspaper reporters are certainly not going to take your guns. Some of us are gun

owners and supporters of the second amendment.

We respect and support the police, they keep people safe and are one of our best sources of information for reporting. They are a government agency though, so if something they do is questionable, we fall back to that government watchdog function. Also, if anyone would ever come for any of your guns, do you realize it would be the police?

No one wants to just open the

borders. Liberals want to provide a way for people already here to become legal residents and pay taxes. Remember how much Democrats love taxes? Also, f**k Alex Jones.
