You think there is no opposition press in the USA? Do you fear posting on this site?
That's not the point.
The point is the gov doesn't fear any posting on this site nor anything written in the "opposition" press.
We're simply on the margins and are largely ignored even by the GOP.
Do you think anyone in DC is afraid of an editorial in the WSJ or IBD?
That's laughable.
Rush can rant until the cows come home, it doesn't matter because he's locked in a corral and has only limited influence, again even w/i the GOP.
The "truth" eg like real economic data, is held hostage by a power structure that only releases "news" that advances their narrative.
Anyone that poses a real threat is quickly introduced to the IRS.
