TRANSCRIPT:

Katherine Maher: The number one challenge here that we see is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States... is a fairly robust protection of rights, and that is a protection of rights, both for platforms, which I actually think is very important. The platforms have those rights to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites, but it also means it is a little bit tricky to really address some of the real challenges of 'where does bad information come from?' and some of the influence peddlers who have made a real market economy around it.

'where does bad information come from?'

Listen to NPR and you will know.

[Uversabound]

I don’t ever remember NPR being middle of the road. It was always so far left that I never listen to it. Never mind stop listening to it. 20 or 30 years ago. I never listen to it because it just appalled me right off the bat.

[NWFree]

If it wasn’t for that pesky first amendment they could more easily silence people she says

[toddausauras]

Another stupid insane leftist skank.

[MeganC]

Communists always hate freedom.

[rfp1234]

Atlantic Council = Propaganda.

[Chgogal]

This vapid elitist is a prime example of what is wrong with this country.

[Dutch Boy]

If bad information was censored, every major news outlet would be put out of business.

[Sirius Lee]

"bad information and the influence peddlers who spread it"

She lacks all self-awareness.

[Political Junkie Too]

She looks stoned.

[PubliusMM]

Hey, Idiot! In your utopia, who gets to decide what is “bad information?”

Asking for a couple hundred million of my friends...

[griswold3]

You must be one of those”anti intellectuals” that Katie Couric talked about/s

Making the Godfather of Media Disinformation, Uncle Walter, proud, isn't she?

[JesusIsLord]

... which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "MAGA information" - FIXED IT!

[Parley Baer]

“If bad information was censored, every major news outlet would be put out of business.”

Is that not the truth.

[FLT-bird]

Yep. That was what I noticed as well. I’m in my mid 50s and NPR has always been hard left for as long as I can remember.

[week 71]

Which bad information? Like if one takes the vaccine they can’t be infected or transmit the virus. Oh wait - I believe NPR may been spreading this lie. How about Hunter’s laptop? This product of the state appears to have never learned how to think critically.
