The people doing the silencing were not liberals. They were illiberal leftists.

True enough, but there appears to be a vacuum within the left side of the aisle where the liberals used to be, filled with shrieking, hate-filled, radical social justice warriors. One smiles in bitter mockery at the old NPR program title "All Things Considered", the irony of which is lost on its devotees. What is significant is the breadth and depth of things that simply may not be considered, or even communicated. "Hate silence" turns out to be far more oppressive than "hate speech". This is not a relatively harmless passion of youth as it is portrayed in the media. It destroys lives.

It seemed to me “All Things Considered” was an overweening misrepresentation (if not a blasted lie).

I knew journalists who were proud of word tricks like that. Well it might be ENTERTAINING, but EDIFYING and INFORMATIVE it isn’t.
