Democrats are waging an assault on the First Amendment, with two Democrat House lawmakers demanding answers from cable television providers on the role they play in the "spread of dangerous misinformation."

The letter, signed by Reps. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., and Jerry McNerney, D-Calif., and released to the press Monday, targets only conservative-leaning outlets, including Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN.

On Wednesday, the House subcommittee on Communications and Technology of the Committee on Energy and Commerce is scheduled to hold a hearing on disinformation and extremism in media.

Cable service companies such as Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox, and Altice all received the same letter on Monday pressing for answers on policies related to the spread of disinformation, rumors, and conspiracy theories on networks they carry.

The letter directly only assails conservative news networks Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN and accuses them of airing misinformation on various topics – among them, the coronavirus, the 2020 election, and the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6.



You know I think I'll pass on unity with this bunch of fascist faggots.

This isn't private business this is the government threatening news outlets. Not tweeting about them but calling them on the carpet to get them to drop stations that don't follow government approved news

I you either support this or our silent about it we aren't friends. We're enemies.

    Once again, "real" Conservative Dazzler has no problem with this. Have you also noticed that the "more fiscally responsible alternative" standard that compelled the "real" Conservative Dazzler to vote for Obama in 2012, didn't apply in 2020. Why it's almost as if Dazzler is nothing more than a partisan hack who's claim of being a "conservative" is a complete fucking fraud.

    Newsmax and Fox already backpedaled on their election claims, albeit rather meekly, and OAN isn’t actual news. Haven’t read their coverage on the Capitol assault though, so I’ll refrain from speaking to that. This is more or less a centrist take.

    This isn't about whether you agree or disagree with what you see but you probably know that and just wanted to fag out the thread anyway

    The hours and hours devoted to the Russia bullshit would be what a centrist would note but you're not a centrist.
