Is this the REAL threat to free speech?

Start with massive shaming and media exposure. Maybe let them explain themselves to congress? This corruption has only recently been exposed. Maybe Sean will do a story on it.

What does Congress have to do with this?

Because it’s my First Amendment right to spout off fact-free diatribes and force media companies to distribute my diatribes all over the globe.

It’s become clearer that libs actually believe in censorship.

You asked my opinion and you got it. Since I have zero chance to get you to agree, I will not attempt to do so. My primary objective was to publicize this outrage. I give myself an “A” for that.

The real threat to Republican speech is if it were required to be factual, or on tangible policy policy proposals.

Things would get quiet in a hurry. I think anybody with eyes knows that’s why these ads get pulled, they are part of a pattern of fabulism in Republican media, and a few tepid efforts to rein that in had them frakjbgcout because they are so dependent on fantasy and falsehoods.

The conservative worldview dominates America. Has for 30 years.

Even non-conservative media is cast within the conservative worldview.

Conservatism has probably never had a more powerful voice than it does today.

But they’re being discriminated against.

Hint- citing anecdotal examples isn’t the way to prove systematic discrimination.

Sure it is, you just need a boatload of them.

You need more than that.

They? You aren’t a conservative?

@NuffSaid

Nothing like stating your political opponent should be hanged.

Good God. I feel sorry for her district. A corrupt, lying, hateful politician who should be removed from office running against a total moron.

Like what?

[Candyman]

Weak.

But it does look like cons want to bring back a Fairness Doctrine. And certainly want to use the implied threat (ie explaining to Congress) of government intervention to insist their voices are heard wherever they want, including private media entities.

Where did you come up with this malarkey? Do you know what percentage of the media voted for Hillary?

[conan]

Facts remain…libs believe in censorship. And will use any mean necessary to justify it.

Not as they are defined today.

I am a socially left leaning libertarian to the degree I can be categorized.

What do you mean by “looks like?” Which con? Got any names? I have not heard this suggested by anyone.

By paying attention.

So you believe that anyone has the right to say anything on any media platform?

@Candyman

I believe that political ads should not be removed because somebody doesn’t like the candidate.

[TommyLucchese]

Unfortunately lies have consequences. Nothing like watching conservative complain about how they need a Fairness Doctrine.

Watching the Tories under Boris Johnson try to use all these tactics is fascinating, watching it from the peanut gallery.
