JOURNALISTS ARE PRIVATEERS : STATE SPONSORED THIEVES AND TERRORISTS

Free speech is device by which we expressly grant each other the freedom to research, publicize and profit from the publicity of, those who would use the violence of state monopoly, or privilege granted by the state monopoly, for the purpose of conducting involuntary transfers from one group to another.

In this sense, journalism has a function. That is, journalism is the right of essay on involuntary transfers. It is, in effect a form of policing.

Journalism would fulfill it’s function if we restored libel and slander laws, and we restored privacy and free passage laws so that paparazzi weren’t state sponsored terrorists. Your reputation is your property. Libel and slander laws are simply codifications of your property rights, like any other property right is codified.

We wrongly grant the police, politicians, bureaucrats, regulators, the judiciary, and even journalists, insulation from suit by private individuals, and groups of individuals. This is what costs us our freedom. If instead we required everyone to respect property rights, then we would have the right of suit against those who libel or slander us, or others.

The truth is the truth. But hypothesis and drama are not truth, they are profitable utility that is merely theft by involuntary transfer from victim to journalist. As such, journalists are state sponsored thieves and little more, whenever they report on anything other than the involuntary transfer of property, or a political plan to promote and legislate the involuntary transfer of property.
