He is trying to pull off the equivalent of responding to a story about a cop murdering someone in a donut shop with, “ordering donuts isn’t against the law”.

I had a typo in that post. Should have said “Where is” at the beginning

The typo isn’t the problem. Why are you doing this?

This is non sense. Are we going to have a real discussion or not…

Where in the constitution does it prevent the government from correcting its own speech?

Can a President go on Fox News and correct misinformation that he sees on the network? Can that same President request corrections from the network?

I’m not.

I already said the government cannot threaten private companies with legislation, that will negatively impact the company, if they don’t censor speech they want them to.

The government should be able to request corrections to their own speech.

in there own speech but not others…or have any say whether to censor someone else’s speech.

The Constitution doesn’t prevent that. Yes, a president can go on Fox News and “correct misinformation.” No, the president can’t “request corrections” from a network. That’s the government exerting its influence to affect free speech. You correctly don’t like it when DeSantis does it. The same should apply to the federal government.

at least they haven’t banned dictionaries…

No, it’s not what they are doing, but it makes for good gaslighting when you are trying to defend the govt censoring the free speech of citizens.

Just like they are defending laws calling for fines/jail for those who wrongspeak and use the wrong pronouns of the protected class.

At the rate we are going, and the support this ■■■■ is getting from people too stupid to see what is happening, I have a feeling I’m going to have to learn how to use the 3 seashells soon.

They weren’t correcting government speech and you know it.

If the government says the sky is blue and Fox News says no, the sky is actually gray, the government can issue an official statement saying that the sky is, in fact, blue. They can even broadcast a special prime-time network message about the blueness of the sky. But what they can’t do is pressure Fox News to change their speech. That’s straight un-American.

When congressmen or the administration makes a “request” to ban speech, there is always the implied threat of the affect on future statutes or administrative actions if the “request” is ignored.
There has to be a balance here. A President or Congressperson should have the free speech to state when they disagree with what is being said.
At the other extreme, we have covert operations by intelligence organizations and the FBI to review individual “tweets” and effectively censure speech by way of implicit threat.
