Congressional Democrats are demanding to know what communications giants such as Comcast and AT&T are going to do about “the spread of dangerous misinformation.” How quickly this country is descending into an authoritarian regime where the government controls speech and the flow of information.
Ahead of a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Wednesday, California Democratic Reps. Anna G. Eshoo and Jerry McNerney wrote a letter to Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox, Altice, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Hulu. According to the New York Times, which says it has reviewed the correspondence, the pair is not pleased that “the cable, satellite and over-the-top companies that disseminate these media outlets” – likely referring to Fox News, One America News Network, and Newsmax – “have done nothing in response to the misinformation aired by these outlets.”
The hearing was called to focus on “disinformation and extremism in the media.” In practice it’s a stage for peacock strutting, spin, and projection (a diversionary tactic Democrats are well-practiced in) with the ultimate goal of gaining full control of the flow of information.
The Democrats telegraphed their intentions when Eshoo and McNerney assumed the role of prosecutors to ask the companies what steps they took “prior to, on and following the Nov. 3, 2020, elections and the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks to monitor, respond to and reduce the spread of disinformation, including encouragement or incitement of violence by channels your company disseminates to millions of Americans?”

Are they talking about ANTIFA and BLM being incited by fawning press coverage? Sadly it is you and me..
Liberals have read 1984, Brave New World and Animal Farm.
The problem is they believe they were instruction manuals.
The answer is to BAN all the Media Outlets that pushed the FAKE Russian Collusion Conspiracy for 4 years
Censure the censoring parties. Neither McNerney nor Eshoo have much standing to determine who and what is “acceptable”. “Free Speech” advocates that only want to hear information and opinions they like are not interested in the meaning of the First Amendment at all. That is the epitome of the definition of “snowflakes”, melting away at the least mention of “unpleasant” things.
The world is basically unpleasant, as well as cruel and uncaring. The strength of humanity is adapting to these unpleasantries, and to provide the kindness and care the world so desperately needs.
Yikes......I would advise Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox, Altice, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Hulu to get their answers in ASAP.
There will be hell to pay if these media outlets do not knuckle under to Dems' demands. Read on.
========================================
Democrats' latest political extremism? Financing muscle-power to obliterate "dangerous information."
Not convinced? Meet the Democraps' "muscle" power.
The DCCC's newest employee is a (cough) “former” gang member who is on parole in New York.
In lockstep w/ BLM, drunk with political power, Dems are now muscling the political dialogue.
Dyjuan Tatro, a former "triggerman" for an upstate New York gang, began his DCCC employment
this week as Democrats' senior adviser for ....wait for it....."diversity and inclusion."
Hmmmmmm. A triggerman? Does that mean he's "carrying" at his place of employment...... DCCC headquarters?
The DNC message of information will be the message of the land. Any other message will not be permitted. It would go against Socialism.
Hitlers goons did the same thing in Germany, eliminating any freedom, and forcing the people to believe the “State run” media. Democrats are making Hitler and Nazis look like Childs play.
TALKING POINTS Demand to know what these outlets are doing (A) to protect
the First Amendment and (B) to encourage every citizens' right to free speech.
You are kidding, right?
They will flag you as a right wing extremist insurrectionist in a nanosecond.
This would be like Jews writing a nice letter to Adolf asking the guy to please be nice to them.
“Die Juan”? Did this boy’s parents have something against Latinos?
It’s awful, what they have done tomy country. These are communist tadtics.
Communism is here.
Thanks for the ping.
I told you all that unarmed protest were a waste of time.
As If anyone even cares.
So is whining on the internet.
We have to kill them.
And did so knowingly.
“ACTION NOW: Contact Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox, Altice, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Hulu.
TALKING POINTS Demand to know what these outlets are doing (A) to protect
the First Amendment and (B) to encourage every citizens’ right to free speech.”
Not a damn thing. Spectrum? SLUGS. I was paid ahead 2 months when my town burned. I called them the next week, asked for a refund... They REFUSED to shut off my service, and now have me in collection agency. They refuse to fix this mess.
Did you contact the state’s Consumer Protection Agency?
Oregon? lol Honey, all Oregon does is give out each other’s phone numbers. I have 3 notebooks full of ‘em. My State rep did call them, and now they are harrassing my email account she gave them. They are relentless SOBs
