The media wants to control speech.
Well I don’t believe it is, but if the Sulzbergers are that sure then we can shut down the New York Times for a trial decade and see if New York dies.
If noxious speech can cause harm, they should shut down CNN and MSNBC right away. They are NOTHING but noxious speech.
There needs to be a three day waiting period to buy a New York Times paper.

How about we "evolve" the 5th, 6th and 8th? Then, we can find them guilty at 2am, arrest them at 3am, and start torturing they and their family to death by dawn?
Is that "evolved" enough?
I agree that America would be a better place if the New York Times was suppressed, but as a prudential matter, I wouldn’t want to start down that slippery slope.
The final PPh tells us how stupid and dangerous this author is:
>>In one of our conversations, Mr. Powell compared harmful speech to carbon pollution: People are allowed to drive cars. But the government can regulate greenhouse emissions, the private sector can transition to renewable energy sources, civic groups can promote public transportation and cities can build sea walls to prepare for rising ocean levels. We could choose to reduce all of that to a simple dictate: Everyone should be allowed to drive a car, and that’s that. But doing so wouldn’t stop the waters from rising around us.<<
Wrong on the analogy — speech can not be linked to anything except the receiver’s perception. Wrong on oceans rising from driving cars (we have yet to see the waters rise in 30 years of Chicken Little).
But as a lefty he wants the cancel culture — have the government eliminate speech lefty doesn’t like (no matter the weasel words he puts in the piece).
America’s Pravda has spoken.
What they really mean is they don’t like the push back they are getting from everyday people on social media and in comment sections; the few that still have it.
Polls (not done by leftists) rarely favor leftist thinking as well so they want to stifle free speech or silence us outright.
How very communist of them...
Well, if free speech must be constrained in the name of Civic harmony, let’s censor or shut down the NYT.
I can see why free speech is killing the Gray Lady but America is just fine thank you.
New York Times buddy Joey Stalin killed lots of free speech.
I agree with them. Let’s shut down the Times.
The New York Times and the legacy media were all for freedom of speech and the press when they controlled 99% of the information flow. Now, they have a little competition from alternative media, and the inner totalitarian comes out.
They can go screw themselves.
AMAZING.
It’s such a BIG world with PLENTY of communist and dictator led countries.
Just move.
The cobra bares it’s fangs... A head chopping is the cure...
Unfriggenbievable. A so called news organization wanting to ban the First amendment
How about Common Sense Licensing and Regulation for Presstitutes engaging in Commercial Speech for Compensation or Gain.
