We are in a war for the survival of free speech today. Any government official who refuses to recognize that truth is weak-minded, weak-willed, or already complicit.
It seems every day some notable Democrat is pushing for censorship. After the horrific Buffalo mass murder on May 14, New York Governor Hochul threatened social media companies for not purging “hate speech,” that dangerously elusive term that has the potential to cover anything Democrats don’t like. Former New York mayor Bill de Blasio demanded that Congress pass legislation to “reign in the spread of hate” on the Internet. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had the audacity to send a formal letter to Fox News ordering the network to “immediately cease the reckless amplification” of ideas he blamed for the Buffalo shooting. MSNBC’s Carl Cameron insisted that “it’s time to actually start doing things” to control speech, such as “maybe taking some names and putting people in jail.” And all of these attacks on free speech are occurring while President Biden is flirting with the creation of a “Ministry of Truth” and the Democratic National Committee is “working with” Big Tech to “enforce a comprehensive political misinformation policy.” How did we get to this perilous moment in the United States when prominent public figures so carelessly demand the regulation, punishment, and even criminalization of free speech?
Where is the journalistic outrage over threats to the First Amendment? Remember when reporters pretended President Trump’s habit of slapping the “fake news” moniker on their work was nothing short of a threat against their lives?

What is it going to take to supercharge America’s sense of outrage and patriotism?
“Obama Supercharged the Left’s Embrace of Censorship”
Obama Supercharged the Left’s Embrace of Totalitarianism
There, fixed it
Obama is 666
apparently they no longer pretend to teach freedom of the press in the “journalism” indoctrination centers
freedom of THE PARTY press is the new rule
What is it going to take to supercharge America’s sense of outrage and patriotism? This malaise affects both Right and Left. Note Fox has not bothered to speak a word regarding the critical Mules documentary. Cowardice infects for sides of the political spectrum.
Obama should never have been President.
He is NOT a natural born citizen.
BOTH parties wanted the natural born citizen clause neutered, that’s why the GOP put up two willing intentional Designated Losers in McCain and Romney.
Good article, but he didn’t even mention that Obama wanted to put, ah, observers into the newsrooms. At the time, even The New York Times balked.
