    Where was all this self-righteous outrage concerning freedom of the press when the former President was trying to silence them - referring to the mainstream media as enemies of the people!

    Most of the mainstream media is the enemy of the people. President Trump was absolutely right.

    There is simply no excuse for this kind of garbage. This is what passes for serving the people these days? And people wonder why conservatives argue for smaller government. Disgusting.

    Two House Democrats on Monday questioned 12 television and content providers about why they carry Fox News, One America News Network, and Newsmax, blaming the right-leaning outlets for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

    Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney, both from California, sent letters to television content providers such as AT&T, Roku, Comcast, and Verizon asking them why they carried the three "purported" news outlets that they say function as "misinformation rumor mills and conspiracy theory hotbeds that produce content that leads to real harm."
    The Democrats asked the content carriers if they plan "to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN," and if so, why.
    The letters represent Democrats' latest reactions to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by supporters of former President Donald Trump, many of whom, Democrats say, were influenced by Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax.
    “Right-wing media outlets, like Newsmax, One America News Network (OANN), and Fox News all aired misinformation about the November 2020 elections,” McNerney and Eshoo wrote. “These same networks also have been key vectors of spreading misinformation related to the pandemic.”
    The Democrats also sent letters to content providers such as Apple, Amazon, Charter, DISH, Cox, Altice, Hulu, and Google's parent company, Alphabet.
    The House Energy and Commerce telecom subcommittee will hold a hearing on Wednesday regarding misinformation and disinformation distributed on television networks, with a focus on the Capitol attack and the coronavirus pandemic.....snip~

    Republicans need to go on the offensive with the Deviates now. If they can't then it will be left to the people to deal with them.
    Even Democrats can get naive, embarrassing people elected sometimes. OAN and News Max were happy to stoke their viewership with crazy and provably defamatory affirmations about voting machines. But it's ridiculous for dems to expect that carriers would start policing truth on anyone's behalf. Nor should they want them to become the decider of such things. the people who take action against fake news are the people that fake news hurts.

    This isnt about being naive. This is purposeful and intentional, albeit stupidity. If we were to go by their concept. The Lame Stream Media who has gotten it wrong more times than any others would be guilty of misinformation, disinformation due to pimping Democrat narratives. Getting caught and printing retractions.

    Calling the "media" out for its bias and dishonesty is not silencing them. What the Dems propose above would be silencing the mentioned cable news.

    This is a simple concept. Hope I helped.

    In your view, is there ever any circumstances under which speech should be suppressed? For example, if it was discovered that OAN/Fox/NewsMax were deliberately spreading incendiary fake news in order to cause a revolt, would government be justified in taking action against them?

    Personally, I think they were just trying to profit off of the MAGA crowd's anger. But it would not be crazy for some to conclude they were intentionally stoking the fires of insurrection. Those politicians could easily fall in that group.

    OAN is asking their viewers to contact their carriers to tell them how much they enjoy OAN.

    I need to do that. If AT&T NOW service cut off OAN then I would cut them off in response. I would gladly subscribe to OAN and stream them if they cut them off.
    Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney probably do not want to know what I would advocate for them if they were successful.
