Saw this pic floating around.

I see that as an excuse to stop Freedom of the Press.

Below I link a small read on the subject, he does mention the topic you mention, hypocrisy of Julian.

Freedom of Press goes out the window? He is a journalist, so censoring and getting rid of 1st Amendment is not a good thing. Censorship does not stop at what you don’t like, it keeps going until things you are for get censored.
