But I grew up a Democrat and don’t remember being afraid of it. At the time, we didn’t need censorship because we figured we had the better argument.


Democrats (Progressives) were all for freedom of speech and empowering the press when they controlled 95% of “the press” (actually the old dominant media).

When new forms of media developed, giving people a choice, they became all in on censorship.

Yes. Color me unimpressed. This author was probably for the “Fairness Doctrine”.
