We have a mentally challenged, corrupt vapid zombie running for President of our democratic republic. The media refuse to report about it. Not to mention that the real presidential candidate is a despicable corrupt politician in her own right.
The First Amendment’s freedom of the press and speech clause enhances our freedoms through flooding the “marketplace of ideas” with unlimited information. There was a time when the law wrestled with censorship of hard-core pornography. Now the media are censoring political viewpoints.
Although media outlets are not government entities, the charge of the media is to relay information, not indoctrinate. In a few short years our media — the voice of the people — have devolved into Pravda. For those who don’t remember the Soviet Union (USSR), Pravda (meaning “truth”) was the USSR’s Communist Party newspaper that disseminated only Party-approved information.
Yesterday the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation grilled the CEOs of Google, Twitter, and Facebook regarding their bias against conservative posts. Predictably, some Democratic legislators seemed to think the censorship of conservatives was acceptable. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) indeed wanted more — against conservatives only!
Suppression of free speech is a step in the long march to socialism. With socialism the state owns and operates all capital. It seems antithetical that some corporate shills (including big tech, print and television media) support Joe Biden, the Communist Chinese puppet. Think again. Biden’s platform includes re-instituting regulations, raising the minimum wage, and levying high taxes. Such policies tend to drive smaller companies out of business. With the competition eliminated, the surviving big corporations assume they will be the “chosen ones” for the government-owned means of production. After all, the government deemed the big boys “essential,” thus allowed them to operate at full throttle during the Covid lockdowns.
Remember who is really essential: you. Speak up and speak out while you still can.
“As to the evil which results from a censorship, it is impossible to measure it, for it is impossible to tell where it ends.” Jeremy Bentham, English philosopher (1748-1832)
