You lecturing about “free press” is a joke. The night Stevens and Sean Smith were killed you pointed at a YouTube video. That same night you emailed your daughter it was an al Qaeda-like group. The next day you told Egypt it was a planned attack, not the film. Then the public story stayed on the video. The press ran it. Nakoula got locked up on a probation hit after that narrative. Tyrone Woods’s father said you told him you would arrest the filmmaker for his son’s death. You used the press to sell a fake protest so an election calendar wouldn’t have to say “terror attack.” Now you call three lost badges authoritarianism. You spent a career hiding from questions, ranking reporters as friends or problems, and feeding stories to the ones who played along. Your campaign tracked journalists so they couldn’t close to you or ask you anything hard. That is managing the press. Not defending it. You hid official work on a private server. Comey called it extremely careless. Classified mail went through it. They can still publish. Other critics are still inside. A door is not the First Amendment. Your record is not a clean conscience.
