The media wants to control speech.
Pretty soon, “free speech” will only be exercised by The People through the establishment media in the same way that some claim that The People’s Second Amendment tights can only be exercised through the National Guard.
The media are just the mouthpiece(s) for the leftists and they are fully on board with their agenda.
The leftists want to control everything. They are coming for the Bill of Rights - all of it.
Yeah, like the 2nd Amendment only applying to the military they believe the 1st Amendment only applies to the corporate media.
They're damn sure going bankrupt now that people can find the truth (actually, it's "easily" find the truth because you could always dig it out it was just difficult to do) instead of swallowing the lies of outfits like the NYT hook, line, and sinker. Just imagine how awful it must be for a wealthy Mesican to buy the NYT and then realize that it's basically fish wrap these days.
Naturally they have to blame one of our inalienable rights for the fact that people are ignoring them which is their definition of "free speech killing us".
The Man, the Machine, the Elite, the Tellers - whatever term you choose - have ALWAYS tried to control and subvert independent thought.
My favorite example in all of human history was Pope Leo X’s efforts to silence Martin Luther.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_X#Protestant_Reformation
In response to concerns about misconduct from some indulgence preachers, in 1517 Martin Luther wrote his Ninety-five Theses on the topic of indulgences. The resulting pamphlet spread Luther’s ideas throughout Germany and Europe. Leo failed to fully comprehend the importance of the movement, and in February 1518 he directed the vicar-general of the Augustinians to impose silence on his monks.[6]
A further papal bull of 15 June 1520, Exsurge Domine or Arise, O Lord, condemned forty-one propositions extracted from Luther’s teachings, and was taken to Germany by Eck in his capacity as apostolic nuncio. Leo followed by formally excommunicating Luther by the bull Decet Romanum Pontificem or It Pleases the Roman Pontiff, on 3 January 1521. In a brief the Pope also directed Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor to take energetic measures against heresy.[6]
They hate talk radio, FR and every similar site the way the established colonial elites hated the pamphleteers. Hated Tom Paine and Common Sense. That led to violence too. Didnt it?
