CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy is a “vocal advocate of censorship and speech controls,” according to George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, who wrote Monday that Darcy’s campaign to urge Twitter to label accounts as “disinformation” is part of a broader threat to free speech.
Turley wrote:
We previously discussed the unrelenting drumbeat of censorship on the Internet from Democratic leaders, including President-elect Joe Biden. Those calls are growing as anti-free speech advocates see an opportunity in the Biden Administration to crackdown [sic] on opposing views. One vocal advocate of censorship and speech controls has been CNN media analyst Oliver Darcy who just ratcheted up his call for de-platforming opposing views. Like many anti-free speech advocates, Darcy simply labels those with opposing views as spreading “disinformation” and demands that they be labeled or barred from social media. In a recent newsletter, Darcy calls for every tweet by Trump to be labeled as disinformation while asking “and why stop there?” Precisely. Once you cross the Rubicon of speech regulation, there is little reason or inclination to stop. Just look at Europe.Darcy wrote:
Nearly every tweet from the president at this point is labeled for misinfo. Which had me thinking. Why doesn’t Twitter just take the step of labeling his entire account as a known source of election disinfo? And why stop there? Why not label accounts that repeatedly spread claims the platform has to fact-check?There was a time from the very touchstone of American journalism was the rejection of such calls for censorship, including at CNN.
Turley added: “What is chilling about Darcy’s writings is that they reflect the view of many now in Congress and in the Democratic Party. Indeed, they reflect many in the Biden campaign.”

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...from the horrible people CNN employs.
JoMa
Turley is a proud liberal. Those who are traditional liberals no longer have a place at the table.

RE Darcy:
Just one more fascist assh*le to be dealt with later on.

Yes, sadly...
Informative post from Breitbart, unlike their all-too-many useless quotes from movie stars.
Yes, those comments are absurd, but I like that they are
being outed for the people they are at their core.

Find a well moderated conservative platform. Conservative forums are not “echo chambers.” They’re communication tools useful for planning and taking action without disruptions.
Information produced from those sites can be posted to more public conservative sites. Comments from left-leaning fascists can be invited to those.
If you really don’t want censorship, you also need privacy. Use free and open software system like Linux. Use a VPN and a private e-mail service. Stop using services offered by data mining companies. They’re not really free. They come with a heavy price.
