WashPost Columnist Max Boot: Blacklist Fox News ‘as We Do with Foreign Terrorist Groups’
« on: January 19, 2021, 02:52:37 pm »


Joshua Klein 18 Jan 2021

In a Monday op-ed, the Washington Post called on heavyweight telecommunications corporations to shut down conservative cable news outlets including Fox News, One America News, and Newsmax TV, comparing the need to do so with that of shutting down foreign terrorist influencers.

The essay, penned by prominent Trump critic Max Boot, a Post columnist and CNN global affairs analyst, begins by explaining how merely holding the president accountable for “his role in inciting this violent insurrection” is “insufficient.”

“There is a whole infrastructure of incitement that will remain intact even after Trump leaves office,” Boot writes. “Just as we do with foreign terrorist groups, so with domestic terrorists: We need to shut down the influencers who radicalize people and set them on the path toward violence and sedition.”

The essay then heaps praise on the recent purging of conservative voices on social media platforms by tech giants, hoping that broadcast media will follow suit.

I expected all of America to recoil at this blatant fascism. Are we now so ignorant as a nation that we cannot see what is happening and where it will lead?

Where are the prominent conservative voices against it?

We used to be the beacon of light of free speech and democracy.  Now we are in the 2nd or 3rd quartile of "freedom"

Voices?  Mostly punditry in the lkes of Carlson, Levin, and Limbaugh.  On the politico side, the few like Hawley, Cruz, McCarthy, and hand full of others are under exteme attack, and are on defense.

Note to Fox:  This is why sucking up to this bunch gets you nowhere.

Lesson for today kids:

Pissing off your friends, doesn't get rid of your enemies,  it just means you'll have nobody defending you when your enemies come for you.


Oh well, embrace the suck, Fox.

Hiding under their desks and taking a nap.   It's nice, quiet and safe under there.

Looks that way.  Just shows they aren't as brilliant as they think they are.

Recoil from it, you say...?
Heck... more than half of the voters voted FOR it.

"Are we now so ignorant as a nation that we cannot see what is happening and where it will lead?"

I sense a sizable chunk of the biden voters CAN "see what is happening" and actually WANT it to be happening.
For others, by the time they find out it'll be too late.

And this is what they'll be getting:
