Glenn Greenwald and others have blasted a liberal \u201cjournalist\u201d after she suggested Fox News should not be protected by First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt what point does the defense start being invoked enough for the authorities to determine that what Fox News does is like yelling fire in a crowded theater and is no longer protected by the First Amendment?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0GQ writer Julia Ioffe tweeted this week.<\/p>\n

The take was in response to a story about an attorney for a client facing charges over the January 6 Capitol riot, who claimed he had\u00a0\u201cFoxitus\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cFoxmania\u201d<\/em>\u00a0from watching the right-leaning network excessively for six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere’s GQ’s @juliaioffe suggesting that the \u2018authorities\u2019 should start considering declaring Fox News to be outside the bounds of First Amendment press freedom protections (invoking the historically ignorant fire-theater clich\u00e9 to justify it),\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted on Friday, adding his shock that a\u00a0\u201cjournalist\u201d<\/em>\u00a0would express such an opinion.<\/p>\n
