More Disinformation from the Washington Post
This piece in the Washington Post (coming, ironically enough, on Independence Day) regarding the latest victory in Missouri v Biden is breathtaking in the scope of its mendacity.
The injunction came in response to a lawsuit brought by Republican attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri, who allege that government officials went too far in their efforts to encourage social media companies to address posts that they worried could contribute to vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic or upend elections.
Note the bizarre Orwellian language used here. It is perfectly obvious from the emails of the tech company functionaries that they did not feel “encouraged,” but rather were terrified of the govt power to put them out of business if they did not do the bidding of their masters.
The Donald Trump-appointed judge's move could undo years of efforts to enhance coordination between the government and social media companies.
More Orwellian language. And of course, invoking the name of Trump, whom we all know is the root of all evil.
For more than a decade, the federal government has attempted to work with social media companies to address criminal activity, including child sexual abuse images and terrorism.
Absolutely vile guilt-by association. As if questioning the safety and effectiveness of repeated booster shots which turned out to make covid infection MORE LIKELY is equivalent to child sexual abuse and terrorism.
Public health officials also frequently communicated with the companies during the coronavirus pandemic, as falsehoods about the virus and vaccines spread on social networks…
It’s a pretty safe bet they weren’t referring here to blatant falsehoods such as President Biden’s assertion that “You won’t get covid if you have these vaccinations,” or equivalent statements made by CDC Director Anthony Fauci, Acting FDA Director Rochelle Walensky, etc.
The injunction was a victory for the state attorneys general, who have accused the Biden administration of enabling a ‘sprawling federal “Censorship Enterprise’’’ to encourage tech giants to remove politically unfavorable viewpoints and speakers, and for conservatives who've accused the government of suppressing their speech.
They are suppressing speech. They are enabling a sprawling federal censorship enterprise. My Facebook account was restricted for posting data from VAERS, and my Medium account was canceled for truthful reporting on the meeting of the Expert Panel on COVID-19 convened by a United States senator.
Democrats have argued that the companies have not gone far enough in policing their services to ensure they do not undermine democratic institutions.
Still more Orwellian language. Apparently we need to destroy freedom of speech in order to preserve “democratic institutions.”
They also warned that an injunction could undermine national security efforts, since the Republicans' lawsuit critiques multiple programs that were established to respond to evidence that Russian actors exploited American social networks to sow disinformation in the runup to the 2016 election.
All we have to do is take a look at the chaos on our borders to see how concerned the Democrats are about “national security.” And notice the sinister reference to unnamed “Russian actors,” while ignoring the massive disinformation campaign to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop on the eve of the election – a disinformation campaign which all by itself may have swung the election in favor of the democrats.
Amazing how our legacy media have fallen into line regarding the most massive censorship campaign in the history of this nation. And in doing so, they have consigned themselves to irrelevance. The Post, in particular, has been hemorrhaging readers. Meanwhile, Twitter, Rumble, GiveSendGo, and Substack are happy to take the business that Facebook, YouTube, GoFundMe, and Medium apparently don’t want. The truth wins in the end.
