Why did a Washington Post reporter urge the White House to censor Trump?

also remember friends.. “The only way to make a bad idea seem like a good idea is to silence the good idea that shows just how bad the bad idea really is” L.Star. Trump has good ideas and they have very bad ideas so they inherently know that IF they can silence the good idea that shows just how bad their ideas really are, the ignorant voters will believe their ideas to be the only ideas.

I don’t believe that Britain is part of the EU any longer.

But I wouldn’t put it past either one.

Any of the New World Socialist Order members would not hesitate to do the deed.

And they would certainly drop a couple grand to hire a bot network to shut down Trump for a couple hours.

It is what commies do!

“I didn’t see a real answer in the windy article, ...”

The answer is buried 3/4 of the way down:

“. The media don’t seem to care that their trust with the American people is at an all-time low or that many of them have had to lay off staff. They have apparently decided it is more important to use their platforms and power to gatekeep “acceptable” ideas in society.”

So layoffs, losing audience, and bancruptcy are preferable to allowing toxic Trump ideas.

Not logical to me, but I’ not a leftist.

Washington Post reporter, Cleve Wootson, center, attempted to get the WH to step in and block Elon Musk’s conversation w/ Trump. He rold KJP in the WH press briefing room, “I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue...it’s an America issue...What role does the President have? Any sort of stopping that, or stopping the spread of that or intervening?”

Call Congress to get this man banned from the briefing room. Before anyone is admitted to the White House press room, they should be made to understand what the first amendment actually means.

======================================================

Call Congress.

I offer some ideas of how the media can restore basic journalistic principles

It will never happen in our lifetimes. The societal rot will continue until this country finally collapses.

A better question would be how would the white house actually censor Trump?

[Highest Authority]

Some day in the future, Trump will look great on Mt. Rushmore, while Obama and Biden will just be names on the wall of an outhouse!

[going hot]

being afraid of their lives being lost for putting out fake news would do it. Otherwise, money talks, and agenda pushing is big business.

Washington Post action: screaming for the lights to be turned off and the shades pulled down.

When two of the main stream media (ABC World News Tonight and CBS Evening News) report on the Musk Trump interview, they covered the technical glitches that caused a delay in the broadcast of the interview or some critics complaining about some misinformation that could come out of Trump’s mouth. However ABC and CBS didn’t mention Washington Post Reporter Cleve Wootson and his question to the press secretary about whether the White House should censor that Trump Musk interview. I wonder why?

[Fireone]

Because deranged democrats are afraid of the truth.
It’s a simple answer.

[moovova]

You’re probably right. But, was I wrong?

[KingofZion]

It’s amazing the Post would hire a reporter who is so incredibly stupid that he (1) believes censorship is appropriate and/or (2) does not care about objectivity (again this is purportedly a “news” reporter not op-ed).

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Thanks. I skimmed the article a couple times and missed that. It’s 3,000 words of blah blah blah when the answer is very simple (as both you and I pointed out)

[MeanWestTexan]

Oh, they broke up, but England is secretly seeing them like an abused spouse.

But, yes, technically you are 100% right.

In practice, they are one and the same.

[reasonisfaith]

Speaking (as I did in the post you replied to) to the deep state, I would remind them that the first clause in their belief system deserves close attention.

Their belief system (excluding the satanists among them who practice various forms of witchcraft) is: “If there is no God, then everything is permissible.”

Definitions from Oxford Languages ·

Existentialism

noun

“A philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.”

What is “low IQ” about that?

Think about it in the context of the book of Genesis and on to the crucification of the Christ.

Is self-realization not the very basis of Salvation?

[Seruzawa]

Satanists believe there is a God. This places them higher than commies, liberals, etc. That’s how bad it is now.
