Last week, Congress and the federal government stomped on press freedom and the press said nothing.
Four watershed events lead to the inescapable conclusion that the entire Democratic Party and parts of the GOP have become the enemy of free speech and, astonishingly, they are aided and abetted by the most prestigious brands in news media, that have become tools of oppression, rather than defenders of the First Amendment.
1. Democrats in Congress tried to force a journalist to reveal his sources.
Nowhere more sickening was the Democratic Party’s lockstep defense of censorship than in Thursday’s hearing of the House “Weaponization of Government” subcommittee.
Independent liberal journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger were asked to testify about the censorship regime imposed by the federal government, academia, NGOs and Twitter, as revealed in the Twitter Files.
For their trouble they were slimed and threatened by Democrats.
