Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

Congrats to Luna. You know she's hit the big time when the MSM is doing untruthful hit pieces on her.

Clearly a coordinated media hoax to keep her from being President. No doubt about it.

Another brilliant article by Turley. The people he goes after here sounds awfully familiar to those in this forum. lol

As we've seen it's hard to argue with people who follow groupthink.

From Turley's column:

“The Democratic Party [is] the bedfellow of international communism.” Those words from Sen. Joe McCarthy captured the gist of the Red Scare and the use of blacklists and personal attacks to silence critics. The Democrats this week appear to have taken up the same cudgel in labeling opponents and critics Russian sympathizers and fellow travelers in opposing government involvement in a massive censorship system.

I'm glad to see the poster who routinely accuses people he disagrees with of being commies reconsider the matter.

Its not hard to argue with you.

 

[Garmel]

Its not hard to argue with you.

You're right, it's not. Thanks for confirming I'm a free thinker.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Thinking 2 +2 equals 5647 certainly is free thinking and not following group think.

 

[Garmel]

lol. You would know.

 

[cajunrevenge]

After years of arguing with the stooges here, yeah, I know.

 

[Garmel]

The apex moron calls other people stooges. lol

 

[cajunrevenge]

If you thought highly of me I would be concerned. If I wanted your approval I could manipulate you into giving it to me, its certainly not hard.

 

[Garmel]

lol. Say no to drugs, everybody.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I always know I won when you resort to personal insults.

 

[Garmel]

The one who started the insults toward me is whining about me insulting him.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I certainly don't care if you insult me, it's just not a substantive argument that furthers any argument.

Not really a free speech issue, but JK Rowling discourse is getting to the point of self sabotage.

Some popular game review sites like Kotaku, Polygon and Eurogamer have not yet reviewed Hogwarts Legacy despite the review embargo lifting Monday, while others have denounced J.K. Rowling’s comments and voiced support for transgender people in their reviews.

Non-anecdotally looks like about half the outlets are covering the game.
Harry Potter Legacy - 72 reviews on Metacritic
God of War Ragnarok - 141 reviews

And the game is breaking sales records. For an industry (reviews journalism) that’s been decimated by layoffs, probably not the best idea.

Hogwarts Legacy's physical sales for its first week in the UK are 80% higher than Elden Ring's, which is incredibly impressive when considering just how big of a deal Elden Ring was at this time last year and the fact that the new Harry Potter game is only available on three platforms versus Elden Ring's five. While Hogwarts Legacy is coming to PS4, Switch, and Xbox One later this year, the game is currently only available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, whereas Elden Ring debuted on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
