Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

It actually did now that it exists, so thank you for catching that, lol. Sorry for thinking the FCC Chair who keeps talking about the need for the government to address the political leanings of a network’s comedy show was referring to a different President when he failed to specify.

Forgive you for what exactly? Allowing propaganda to determine your base case on an outcome?

I was (incorrectly as it turns out) using the words of the FCC Chairman. I don’t care what Paramount does with its properties and personnel, and don’t think it’s an outrage Colbert was cancelled. Based on the context of the conversation in the clip, it sounded like he was saying the network would have a monitor reporting to Donald Trump on political bias. That turned out to be wrong, and I have subsequently changed my mind on this statement.

I’ve literally posted in another thread this week that I think the outrage over Colbert is fake so long as the White House is not basing approval on financial decisions for a private company on whether or not they agree with the politics of the network.

Trusts community notes on debunking propaganda, but not life long Dem (and national guardsman) Tulsi Gabbard

So what you’re saying is I should uncritically trust the federal government when they tell me something so long as it’s said by a former Democrat that served in the National Guard.

I’m really not a “Because Trump” guy, man. If I were, I’d believe neither the DNI or Community Notes because in both cases they’re “debunking” something anti-Trump. I don’t trust Gabbard in part because of increased skepticism of the claims of the government which has a vested interest in lying to me to improve public perception, but also because she’s just saying shit that isn’t supported by evidence from almost a decade of one of the most publicly investigated scandals in our nation’s history from both sides and isn’t providing actual evidence to support her interpretation of those claims.

No problem with Noem living in a government building. Kind of surprised cabinet members don’t all have assigned housing. I object to a government official attacking a reporter for reporting on it.
 
I mean- it’s not really a big deal but the post (shocker) is making it something it’s not. I’m not shocked you don’t care about that

Like I said not shocked you are freaking out about it

A government official is claiming it’s doxxing to report on an unusual living arrangement of a high ranking official. That’s anti-free speech.
