On Monday’s episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show,” the host discusses a hit piece in The New York Times and the disturbing take on free speech that the ‘former newspaper’ represents. Video and partial transcript below:

Let’s just be clear about this, The New York Times does not support free speech. It does not support the First Amendment. The New York Times is now a woke sophomoric hate paper. I mean, sometimes they don’t even have headlines anymore. It’s just like “Trump … grrrr” and that’s what they’ll say. They just have become this crazed left-wing voice of silence. If you don’t believe me, take a look at Citizens United. You remember the Citizens United case? I think it was decided in 2010 by the Supreme Court. Our pal David Bossie, he made a film against Hillary Clinton, put it on TV and they took it off TV in accordance with McCain-Feingold, because they said this was a campaign contribution.
So, you can’t put an anti-Hillary documentary on TV when the election is coming up because it’s a campaign contribution that should be controlled by McCain-Feingold. It went to the Supreme Court. In the arguments of the Supreme Court, Alito asked the government lawyer who is defending McCain-Feingold, he said, “Look, couldn’t you apply this to a book?.” And the lawyer said, “Well yeah, you could censor a book because it would be — if it was anti-Hillary, because that would be a campaign contribution.” And he said, “Well could it be applied to a thousand-page book that had a sentence attacking Hillary Clinton?” Ultimately the lawyer had to admit, “Yes it could.” I mean, this is censorship. All these campaign finance things, we don’t need campaign finance laws, they are all censorship laws. Almost every one of them is, certainly McCain-Feingold. So, they gutted McCain-Feingold and said, “No you can’t do this, this is ridiculous.”
Oh my gosh, you know this was Hillary Clinton. She never forgot that … the Supreme Court of these United States could allow an anti-Hillary Clinton video to be aired. It was too much for her and she went and campaigned about it.
