NBC News host actually asks if anyone will be able to 'police' what Tucker Carlson says on his new Twitter program: 'Or is this the point? It's just a free-for-all?'

On the heels of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announcing Tuesday that he's planning a new program to air on Twitter, "NBC News NOW" guest host Tom Costello brought in former CNN host Brian Stelter for a chat about it all, NewsBusters said.

(snip)

Costello continued with a jaw-dropping question: “Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says? Or is this the point? It's just a free-for-all?”

Stelter didn't appear shocked by the "police" reference: “I think this is the point. It is a free-for-all. It's what Elon Musk wants to provide. This move by Tucker may cement the idea of Twitter as a right-wing website."

Costello saying the quiet part out loud.

A media organization pushing for censorship. Time to ask at whose behest NBC is pushing to violate the First Amendment.

Typical of NBC, they always want to control the line of thought.

The list for treason trials and subsequent executions just get longer and longer. Has to number in the thousands by now needed to set an example for people to never do this type of thing against your own country ever again.

Meaning "Is anyone we approve of going to police Tucker's show?"

Establishes twitter as a right wing site?? How about just plain “right”...as afforded by the bill of rights.

I guess anything giving the truth is now considered “Right Wing”. There truly is a blue and a red pill. Sad.

After Carlson’s first appearance I hope someone gets video of Costello’s head exploding.

“A media organization pushing for censorship. “

The American public is indoctrinated to the point where this seems like a responsible thing to them.

This country is communist in practice, if not in fact.

Well let’s admit it, the “media” is simply a leftist activist propaganda source, period. Our government is corrupt from top to bottom. Any wonder they fear “free speech” and Trump?

“NBC News host actually asks if anyone will be able to ‘police’ what Tucker Carlson says on his new Twitter program: ‘Or is this the point? It’s just a free-for-all?’”

Under the new US two tier justice system, Democrats are allowed to exercise their 1st Amendment rights, not Republicans and the Lame Street Media and “Social Media” will give them cover.

The First Amendment guarantees a free press.

Not an honest, fair, factual, or moral one.

The best it can offer is that if they put up a bunch of lies, our side is free to counter them.

Freedom of the press is great but it does not safeguard society from the spread of evil ideas. Morality and a soundly educated populace do.
