Bans newspapers from being read at this place?Need to read

it still attacks freedom of the press and so what if the people that have always read this paper there still wanted it to be deliverd . also I dont think you went on to read any more read comment above you says alot!

There is no attack on the freedom of the press. There is a privately owned company who chooses not to hand out a privately owned newspaper for free to its customers. The company is doing nothing to restrict what is being printed in that paper. They simply have chosen not to give it space in their privately owned property. I not only read the full link -and- all the opinions expressed after your discussion, I also understood that it was not a publicly owned institution or a college, and that freedom of the press has nothing to do with this issue. It's about individual freedoms and rights.

Attention wonderful people. There's a nifty little document called "The Constitution." Most libraries and some internets will have a copy of this piece of archaic literature. I quote the portion commonly known as the 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Now, what's cool about the first amendment is it does give people the ability to speak freely, assemble freely, press freely, and/or religiousize freely. (Note: some words may be made up. Void where prohibited.) This amendment has been interpreted, mauled, spindled, and adjusted several times, through case law. Scheneck v United States (1919) is a popular one, which discusses the limits of the right to free speech (yelling "fire" in a crowded theater = bad, unless there is a fire, in which case...good call on your part). If you've gotten this far, many of you probably think I support your viewpoint on the "hazards of censorship" and the "Dangers of Obama." Yeah...you'd be wrong. Kaiser Permanente is in fact a private business. And as such, has EVERY right to say "Thanks, but we'd rather you not deliver your newspaper on our property." They are not bound by the Fairness Doctrine, do not represent a federal, state, or local organization, and has not, at any point, attempted to censor anyone. The newspaper is undoubtedly still being printed. If a law is being broken here...it'll likely be by the newspaper if they continue to distribute the newspaper to KP against their wishes. I believe the law in question would be "littering." Undoubtedly, many of you have seen the phrase "This Restaurant reserves the right to forbid service as it sees fit." It can say that because it's a private business. Good luck saying that the restaurant is violating the constitutional right of assembly. Now, if it can be proven that a person's civil rights are being violated by non-service (e.g. the restaurant serves everyone, so long as they're male), then they could be sued. If you're going to make random, incoherent, unrelated, biased statements, without merit, evidence or basis...try to make better, random, incoherent, unrelated, biased statements.

thaks for responce . as I dont know for sure either but No one shoudl be able to stop a news paper for running what they want to say thats freedom of the press and if our first amenment dont mean athing if we dont stick up for it.

“You ran an editorial that we did not agree with,” she said. “You had a picture of Senator Obama and had derogatory things to say about him. Plus,” she went on, “several of your jokes we found offensive. I and several of my colleagues found them offensive.” She told us further, “Our Physician-Leader read your editorial critical of Obama and it upset him. He said he didn’t want this paper here anymore.”

oops did you read that part this is why they banned trhe paper not because it said any thing about the medical profession

they sure are!
