I like my First Amendment chilled

The rats have been trying to re-instate the "fairness doctrine" since Reagan (really it has been since Rush Limbaugh hit the airwaves). This is just another transparent angle to achieve the same goal. They see an opportunity with the majority of congress to erase a different point of view and silence half the country and by God they are going to give it a shot.

Its like the rats have completely forgotten spending 24-7 on fake news about Russian collusion. Digging through Kavanagh's high school yearbook and how what the rat media read in there was "proof" that Kavanaugh raped that bat shit crazy woman the left dragged in front of congress. Or how about the fix when bidens son and business associate both blew the whistle on that idiot biden and the press ignored it so Trump could lose.

My favorite lie by the left when it comes to the fairness doctrine was some rat congressman in the Midwest, while arguing for the fairness doctrine to silence Conservative voices, said we didn't need any government support for Conservative radio programs because we already had NPR. What a fucking hack liar.

This is the kind of assault on our rights and institutions that fascist bring about. It is precisely why we should all be ashamed we put these assholes in charge. It has been a month and change since that idiot biden and headboard Harris were "elected" and already some of my left of center and center friends are regretting their choice. I give them zero slack.

Unless there's major pushback from the right, I don't think you have the foggiest idea how this all ends.

Investigating why “the news” chose to uncritically promote baseless conspiracy theories isn’t quite the totalitarian crackdown you gals think it is.

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.

You should be saying "I may not agree much with what Fox and OAN say, but trying to ban them from the airwaves is flat-out evil."

Now THAT's a hot centrist take.

Remind them repeatedly what they voted for.
