MSNBC host Katie Phang made the obligatory disclaimer that "we all respect the First Amendment."
But in the same breath in her interview of Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell aired on her Saturday show, Phang suggested to Swalwell that there should be "congressional oversight, regulations, some type of gatekeeping" of Fox News.
And just like Phang with her phony expression of devotion to the First Amendment, Swalwell piously professed, "I don't want to get into the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch."
But he proceeded to suggest just that:
I don't want to get into the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch. But if you have a news station that a court is going to rule is, in its evening hour, perpetuating dis- and misinformation, I don't know if I disagree with [inaudible, maybe "those"?] that saying that we need to take a look at how this is being broadcast to our troops.

My conspiracy mind thinks this is part of the script. FoxNews is a gatekeeper and is going nowhere, Swallwell knows it. Need to give FoxNews a more edgy feel before ‘24, can’t have patriots searching for new source of info before then.
Fartwell.
I thought the left had chased all the patriots out of the military. What is he afraid of?
I agree with him. Get NEWSMAX in there. fox lovers are so darn liberal. many were so excited when they called for biden to win Arizona.
Censorship is the tool of tyrants.
One thing I have observed - particularly the last three years - is in matters of public issues, people who sincerely believe their view point it true, do not censure, encourage censuring and certainly do not coerce.
This guy is a low IQ clown.
They limited the Rush Limbaugh show years ago
...because nothing makes you want to talk to a military recruiter like finding out your news and entertainment will be routinely censored by an authoritarian government run by Marxists and Maoists beholden to China and the Muslim Brotherhood, and your officers are going to be a bunch of raging activist homosexuals.
There is a name for this idiot and others.. cant use it tho.
There are some people who have elevated themselves to a higher level than the rest of us.
They think they are wise..smart
Richer.. whatever value they apply.
Let me expound.
There will come a day.. soon
When the One who is greatest, will let them know where they stand in eternity.. and no rebuttal.
No pleading.. no nothing will give them any more chances. When the ark closed the doors. And the rains came, there was no chance ..no opportunity after they turned it down for the last time.
I look at hillary.. Biden family.. all the human beings who have elevated who and what they are.
Without the creator..they are nothing. They can’t raise the dead. They can’t make blind eyes see. They can’t create a human with a soul.
They can’t save a nation.
One day they all will bow to the One they ridiculed. On that judgment day they will see the list God has on each one who refused His offer.
And on that day He will be the judge. No more grace and no time left for I’m sorry, nor I didn’t know.
Their day to get it all.. is gone.. forever gone. They bet on the wrong offer..
Most of the MSNBC filth are totalitarians... There’s not a wit of difference between them and the thugs who run commie state controlled ‘press’.
I’m surprised these two didn’t suggest that only ‘liberals’ should be allowed to vote ...
Swallows Well is still doing that.
What a dimwit.
But...
THIS.
IS.
WHO.
THEY.
ARE.
I consider all democrats and most RINOs commies.
It’s up to the Rats and RINOs to prove me wrong!
