What do you think about that title, eh? Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Hahahaha

But I think people might be more likely to click on it. This is a little known yet very important case that happened during one of the worst years of our country- 1931. It remains important because fake news, in case you hadn't noticed, is currently everywhere. I mean, it's not on MY channel. I think? I certainly hope not. I do try my best to tell the truth. In a future video, I will explain why I value the truth so much.

Anyway, I'm starting to ramble. Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for your continued support.

Government Censorship of Fake News EXPOSED | Near v. Minnesota

Click this link to make some cash for giving your opinion! https://www.inflcr.co/SHL1y. Thanks to YouGov for sponsoring this video. In episode 82 of Supreme Court Briefs, after two so-called journalists in Minneapolis publish fake news about politicians, they get in trouble for breaking a Minnesota censorship law. But what the heck? What about the First Amendment? Did you know that I wrote a book about the Supreme Court? Well, I did: https://amzn.to/4eex2Xt Here is the audiobook version: https://amzn.to/3tr6dgl My entire Supreme Court Briefs playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHtE7NbaKRef-x3QBDpwvJsr6i1Z3I6TN&si=FTRis9dXIyCIBi-C Produced by Matt Beat and Beat Productions, LLC.

Minnesota made prior restraint, which means courts suppressing media because it hurts society, much more difficult. It was the first major case to tackle attempts to limit what gets published. It was certainly a win for freedom of the press, but it’s also why so many media outlets publish fake news today.

Excellent, Matt... I was unaware of this case and will share it with some folks who might get it seen more widely (and while I'm thinking about that, which is better *for you* to see shared: your Patreon link here or the YouTube link?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

I think it's best to lean on the side of free speech. I believe that freedom of speech is what makes our country the most free.

Good morning Mr. Beat, I know that this has little to do with Near v Minnesota, but one case that you might interested in is Thompson v Connick. It's a case that originated in New Orleans and in 2011, the Supreme Court ruled (5-4) that a district attorney's office can be held for a single violation of Brady v Maryland. This means that a wrongfully convicted person can only sue a the State if there is a pattern of prosecutorial misconduct within the office. The lower courts ruled in Thompson's favor awarding him $14 million, but as I mentioned, this was reversed by the Supreme Court.
