An obscure former CNN employee named @soledadobrien will be testifying on "Media Disinformation & Extremism" on the Hill today and if anybody wants to hear from experts on spreading disinformation then CNN is the #1 place.— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) February 24, 2021

I keep seeing all these corporate media reporters talking about “the Big Lie” but it’s pretty late in the day for them to apologize for the Russia Hoax.— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) February 24, 2021

House Dems’ Misguided Effort to Muzzle Conservative Media

FTA:
On Feb. 24, House Democrats will hold a hearing on “traditional media’s role in promoting disinformation and extremism.” This hearing is a dangerous threat to American democracy and goes entirely against what the Founders intended when they made a free press Americans’ guaranteed First Amendment right in the Constitution.

It’s also just the latest threat against free speech from the left, which has now mainstreamed a despotic desire to use government to cancel conservative speech. Just last week, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof called for Fox News to be on trial for supporting former President Donald Trump. This is the same Kristof who recently began calling for a War on Terror-style campaign against Trump supporters and “the ecosystem that produces them” — completely missing the key difference between the right to free speech and the lack of rights to commit political violence.

Kristof’s dangerous rhetoric joins that of other influential mainstream media figures who are targeting media they deem too friendly towards Trump. Washington Post columnist Max Boot wants cable companies to cut off Fox, and MSNBC commentator Anand Giridharadas suggests that the outlet shouldn’t even exist.

Hi Gran!

That Emerald has a cute little sense of humor, doesn’t she? She’s one of the few I check out on twitter.

Above freezing up here is Snow Man’s Land....with some rain. Rinks are done....they won’t freeze again. Snow is complying nicely with the rain and doing its melting thing....our 7’ pile on the lawn is now down to about 4’.

Hope all if well in your neck of the woods, I mean, as well as it can be while our countries are being taken over by China.

Interesting links..of couse a Ben from NBC tweeting his lies as always. But then we had some people claiming to be Trumper's say our people were going to DC with loaded guns and they were the ones causing the riots because they pushed open the capital doors. So one has to really watch the people who aren't really on our side. Tks LG.
