Be good if there were a few more like Taibbi, Turley and Maron. Maybe the Dems would shift from a totalitarian left back to a much needed liberal party.

"...It should be one of the biggest stories of a generation: uncovering the government’s coordinated efforts to violate the First Amendment rights of so many Americans.

But with a few exceptions, the mainstream media have ignored the reporting or ridiculed the factually undisputed reports of large-scale government censorship — the kind most Americans would have told you does not happen in our country.

Journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger were a credit to their profession and to all Americans who genuinely care about a free press and the First Amendment.

And Democrats — who questioned, mocked, belittled and scolded them for not meekly accepting government knows best and Americans should just unquestionably accept what the fearsome threesome of “security state-Big Tech-Democrat ruling elite” thinks we should be able to say, read and hear — were an embarrassment...."

The Democrats and Democrat-controlled media support violations of the First Amendment 100% if it results in censorship of their opposition.

I'd like to give a shout out to Matt Taibbi. Matt is doing a tremendous service to the portion of the public that still cares about honesty, integrity and trust.

Unfortunately she’s a rare old school liberal. Today’s Democrats are 95% on board with totalitarianism.

Liberals are simply mindless, angry, authoritarian fascists who cannot and will not tolerate ANY views which disagree with the liberal hive mind.

Liberalism is the greatest threat to individual
Liberties the nation has ever faced.

Fits right in with DeSantis insisting that any blog writer who writes about him (governor of FL) has to get 'registered'.

G'bye First Amendment.

It does seem that 'liberalism' is not what the word implies. Perhaps we should be thinking in terms of moderatism?
