Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Jerry McNerney (D-CA) sent letters to the CEOs of multiple cable TV providers—including Amazon, Apple, Google and others—demanding to know "why Fox News, One America News Network and Newsmax are still part of your basic cable programming. You must be aware that they are using your platform to disseminate disinformation."
Eshoo explained "if we want to have true democracy in this country we must have unity of thoughts and expressions. The conservative news sites we single out are trying to turn the tide against true democracy. The notion that truth will emerge from vigorous debate between individuals of different viewpoints is out-dated and naive. Allowing all views freedom of speech is too risky. The voices of evil can be very persuasive. It is the government's duty to silence these voices for the good of humanity. Our letters to the cable providers is the opening salvo in this crucial battle for what President Biden has called "America's soul."
After receiving their copy of the letter, Amazon took the critically acclaimed documentary "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words" off the list of programs its subscribers are permitted to watch. A spokesman for the company explained, "it was pointed out to us that Thomas is not authentically Black. In fact, he is on record questioning many of the views expressed by those who are authentic Blacks. This sows unneeded dissension and works against the unity President Biden is working so hard to achieve."

And all this time I thought it was all about ‘Diversity’.
“unity of thoughts”
That sounds like it came from the script of the Apple 1984 commercial.
