Anyone shocked that Trump is going after free speech?
EXACTLY how is Trump "going after free speech"?
Did he have FBI spy on and do surveillance on the entire Associated Press?
Oh wait, NO, that was the Obama administration.
Or maybe it was when he had James Rosen and other reporters arrested for investigating the White House and using sources inside the White House, as reporters have done for a least 100 years?
No, wait, wrong again, that was once again the Obama administration. That even a 45 year White House reporter for the New York Times called the "most control freak" administration he had ever dealt with.
Then maybe it was when he declared Fox News "not a real news agency" and tried to ban them from White House press conferences?
No, wait, that was Barack Obama again,trying to ban Fox News.
Then it must have been when Trump tried to de-platform any broadcast news agency that gave him negative coverage?
No, waitt, wrong again, it was both the Obama and Biden administrations who attempted that with Fox News, One America News, and Newsmax,
literally EVERY NEWS AGENCY on television that doesn't have a Democrat / left allegience and bias, tried to wipe out any dissenting non-Democrat thought from airing on television news.
Throughout THREE Democrat-Bolshevik administrations, under 8 years of Obama, hen 4 years under Joe Biden.
And many of the FCC officials appointed in both the Obama and Biden administrations openly stated for years prior to working in hose administtrations, their intent to "de-plaform" all conservative news networks, and said it
for years when they previously wrote for Soros-funded groups, before they were appointed to FCC jobs
precisely because of those writings, and
specifically FOR actually doing it.
I haven't seen that Trump or his administration have actually banned anyone or will with FCC power, Trump has just tossed the idea out there as a possibility in a few off the cuff remarks, of "maybe we should" because of how the Democrat/Left has abused all the mainstream networks, for decades. Specifically CNN, MSNBC (renamed MSNOW, but still the same partisan garbage, not the slightest change toward objective journalism with the re-branding) and ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS.
And the latest deception by the liberal media, instead of reporting on the ramped-up hate for YEARS that led to shooing Charlie Kirk, and shooting Trump, TWICE, and Steve Scalise, and countless others.
Due to YEARS of the liberal media's nightly distorted hate about how Trump is Hitler and a fascist, false narratives that deliberately feul all these violent attacks on Republicans.
Rather than liberal media report on that and hold themselves and the Democrat party responsible.... they just each time re-direct and create ANOTHER false narrative :
1) the fake narraive that Charlie Kirk engaged for years in "hate speech" (FALSE, he engaged in debate, political dialogue and finding common ground through debate, persuading literally millions to his side, and to Trump's, and that's why the Left
had to kill him. )
2) the narrative that Charlie Kirk "caused his own death" through "hate speech" (FALSE again, Charlie Kirk engaging in First Amendment free speech, only engaging in words, and seeking common ground through debate, does NOT rationalize violently murdering him. One of the purple-haired Twitter Nazis gloating about Kirk's death said "Live by the sword, die by the sword." But Kirk lived by the pen and free speech, and was killed by the sword, because the Left doesn't tolerate anyone living or having any power who disagrees with them.)
3) the infuriating fake narrative that Charlie Kirk's shooter was actually a conservative Trump supporter ( FALSE because this Tyler Robinson maniac was clearly hate-filled and ultra-Left, rabidly supported Biden and Antifa, had a transgender male lover, expressed his liberal politics to multiple family members, classmates and co-workers, talked about how deeply he hated Charlie Kirk, and discussed knowing Kirk was coming to town, and even scratched gay / trans /Antifa messages on the bullets in his rifle. )
And now we're up to liberal media selling
Democrat false narrative NUMBER FOUR :
4) that Jimmy Kimmel was cancelled because Trump ordered him shut down or Trump's FCC wouldn't allow a merger the network wants ( which again is FALSE, it's only because of Kimmel being a partisan jerk and lying to millions of people on the air, infuriatingly fronting the
proven false narrative that Charlie Kirk's shooter is a Trump supporter . For Jimmy Kimmel's network, who had endured many controversies by Kimmel on air, and Kimmel's consistently low ratings because he has permanently alienated half his potential audience, that was a final straw for even a LIBERAL network, who were losing tens of millions by airing Kimmel's show every year, with a consistently shrinking audience.
PRECISELY FOR THOSE REASONS WAS KIMMEL FIRED.
And this false narrative alleging Trump leveraged the network using the FCC to stop their desired network merger, if the network didn't fire Kimmel, just gives the liberal media another false narrative to focus on, rather than on the Democrats' and the liberal media's own complicity and responsibility for Charlie Kirk's death.
And rather than on the consistent one-sided violence of the Democrat /Left daily across the U.S. against Republicans,
