AOC: Capitol Riot May Lead Congress to Rein in Media Disinformation

[dblack]

The challenge would seem to be in how to make such a commission an impartial arbiter. That said, the present situation leaves much to be desired.

That's not a "challenge". It's an impossibility. A "commision" like she's after will inevitably be used as a partisan tool, to punish and silence enemies.

"It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood."
-- Thomas Jefferson; from letter to John Norvell (June 11, 1807)

It's very telling that you don't consider violation of the Bill of Rights or the fundamental human right of free expression by the government to be any challenge at all.

Socialists don't like free speech.

Neither do Trumpsters. They're just as eager to declare social media a "public utility".

That's what's frightening about this. Very few in DC are willing to stand up for real freedom of speech.

That's wrong. There was no media movement or govt movement to stop free speech. That's doesn't dismiss many Rs though who are corrupt with the Dems.

Yet many Trump supporters on this board have been demanding that big tech companies be treated as public utilities, or "busted up", or otherwise targeted by government for not accommodating Trump's nonsense.

Say bye-bye First Amendment? Who will be the arbiter of speech?

I warned you all. Only the naive among you didn't believe me. An investigative commission to make sure media is left wing, but no interest in a 10 day investigation into voter irregularities?

You guys are going to be left with Canada and England as allies. How does ones opinion have to adhere to what another person is, or even what believes is correct or not correct?

Congress is looking into creating an investigative commission to “rein in” disinformation in the media following the siege on the US Capitol, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Instagram.


The New York Democrat said that “We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation. It’s one thing to have differentiating opinions, but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false, so that’s something that we’re looking into.”


Following the riot, social media giants and Silicon Valley permanently suspended President Donald Trump from their platforms and deleted the accounts of many of his backers, the New York Post reported.

Lies and sedition are not protected speech.

Sorry for your luck.

Yes. Many on this board have been demanding that big tech companies be treated as public utilities, or "busted up", or otherwise targeted by government for not accommodating Trump's nonsense.

These liberal tech giants have scrubbed thousands of videos that don't support their agenda. They're an arm of the Democrats. To deny that is being ignorant or not cognizant. They have received taxpayer dollars.

I'm not denying it. I'm saying it's their right to do so.

They have received taxpayer dollars.

Then stop giving them taxpayer dollars. That's the classic liberal schtick - "give" a special interest group something and then use it as an excuse to lord it over them.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in an Instagram post that she and several other members of Congress were exploring the possibility of setting up a commission to “rein in” the media, whom she accuses of spreading “disinformation” in the lead-up to the Capitol attack


Since I don’t think she’s talking about stifling the New York Times or Washington Post, I wonder who she has in mind to “rein in”?

This was the same Instagram interview in which she admitted that she feared for her life during the Capitol attack, so it’s not surprising that the media would ignore her suggestion for censorship and lead with her life being in danger.

But her suggestion that the United States Congress needs to form a commission to rein in the news media has gone largely unreported

As I keep saying, they'e coming for the dissenters. Rumpists, Conservatives, Christians.

So CNN will be out of business?

If they weren't taking govt money, I would agree.

If we allow government to create a "Ministry of Truth", all independent media will cease to be.

Why would any of you RWNJs be concerned with ending disinformation. Since every right-wing outlet posts, broadcasts, or prints nothing but the truth, you should welcome control of every fake news source.

Just think of the benefit to your weasel-in-chief had AOC's suggestion been implemented four years ago. a second term for your orange-tinted messiah would have been assured.

(Only a weasel would throw the insurgents he sent to the Capitol to attempt his coup, under the bus by blaming them for everything, AND saying they should be severely punished.)


..

The real question is, why does no one expect you leftwing scum-suckers to be concerned with free speech?

As always, I consider it a badge of honor to be disapproved of by tyrant-worshipping garbage like you.

They want to stop free speech, then confiscate guns, then kill you. This is what they are. We've seen this rodeo in past history.

Karma, bitch.

If you don't like the fact that they're taking government money, then we should stop giving it to them. Using it as an excuse to expand government power is wrong. That's why libertarians oppose the welfare state in the first place. It's not because we're stingy. It's because we recognize that "gifts" from the government will inevitably be used as a tool to control people.

Nope. I will enjoy watching you people writhe, tho.

AOC: Capitol Riot May Lead Congress to Rein in Media Disinformation

TRANSLATION: One of Joe's first planned steps. First massive spending to boost all progressive agendas to cement the now one-party totalitarian system. Nest step will be to ramp up democrat propaganda while labeling anything contrary to their plans as dangerous hate speech, including anti-mask, anti-vaccine, stop the steal, election fraud, Hunter Biden, etc. That will include rounding up, arresting and charging all who oppose Joe and the Democrats as "enemies of the state."

China taught Joe well how to seize autocratic authoritarian power over a nation quickly.

Now the rich flow of money and trade with China can resume again.

 

[BlindBoo]

Good thing we still have the First Amendment so overreaching policies proposals from either side of the spectrum can be debated.

Can't stop misinformation by bad actors in a free society, only combat it with truth.

I've always opposed the welfare state and trinkets from the treasury given to any group. Same with never ending wars, never ending debt blah blah blah.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

The New York Democrat said that “We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.

Let me correct her.

".. so THE RIGHT can't just spew disinformation and misinformation. The left can do that unchecked and outright for the greater good".

There, fixed.

It's not writhing. It's preparation for the dangers that are coming.

 

[Hellbilly]

It's not writing.

Correct. Its ‘writhing’
It means To make twisting bodily movements, as in pain or struggle.

Like I said karma, bitch.
I hope you get what’s coming to you after all the pain you guys have caused.

This is the same purge that happened in Germany. Get ready.

I am ready...and following Der Leader Joe's advice...
