Trump Defends Free Speech, Leftard Media Goes Ape

[impuretrash]

Who said the Left are fascists?

Both The New York Times and Washington Post blasted the free speech position taken by President Donald Trump last week.

World leaders, led by New Zealand, united around the Christchurch Call to demand stronger internet censorship. This followed the deadly Christchurch terror attack that killed 51 people. President Trump not only refused to sign on, but established a censorship reporting hotline.

That didn’t sit well with major liberal news outlets. Both The Washington Post and The New York Times have written scathing pieces blasting the Trump administration. The Post condemned Trump for waging an “evidence-free assault on social media sites for supposedly censoring conservative voices.”

Opinion writer at large Charlie Warzel wrote in The Times that while he understands that online content regulation can be a ”minefield of unintended consequences” he asserted that for Trump, “to turn one’s back on that commitment isn’t just lazy, its shameful.”

Much like Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, the liberal rhetoric on this has been schizophrenic. At the same time that they have stressed that this is a mere “ceremonial” or “informal international pact,” the media have expressed panic that Trump has refused to join.

Trump Defends Free Speech, Liberal Media Condemn Him

Private internet sites can censor anything they want

Even USMB

That's the talking point, anyway. Seems pretty hypocritical, coming from those who rail against corporate influence over our political system and such.

They are no different than any other media outlet who can pick and choose their content

That has nothing to do with what I said. The normally anti-corporate left has turned into massive hypocrites on the subject of social media censorship.

And the normally anti-regulation, free market loving right is now clamoring for government intervention and a fairness doctrine for social media platforms. Massive hypocrites indeed.

Eventually the American right will have to choose which is more important, preserving tradition and ensuring the survival of the nation, or the globalism and moral degeneracy created by unrestricted capitalism.

so you admit to censorship while crying about the president's use of his free speech. you all are hilarious.way to keep that hypocritical oath.

If only there was a way for someone to start a rival social media platform. If only...

if we live in a free speech nation, why would someone need to? unless someone wished to censor their opposition? BTW, there are conservative media platforms. don't worry your little ol self on that. you still can't stop admitting you love censorship. hahahahahahaha

I support the right of businesses to associate with whomever they please. You do as well until the second *you* feel slighted and than your true statist self is revealed. You blind partisans have never been much for consistency.

dude, I give two shits what a company does with their clientele, just call it what it is. facebook and twitter don't. all of those people have is a different point of view, and within the scope of the business, why would they use the excuse they didn't follow rules. Call it out,state that they don't want opposition talk on their platform. that's all.

Not to worry. The state is going to come your rescue. After all, they are here to help.

I think it will be the courts

Trump supporters want big fed gubmint to impose free speech regulations on private organizations. So don’t lie about wanting free speech.
