People have to realize that there always needs to be more than one viewpoint and more than one way to do things.
It is why there is more than one burger place in town, why there is more than one gas station, and so on..You have to have a choice because people are going to have preferences.
In the case of the media, people would prefer to know the truth, or at least the smart ones do. They want to have someone ready to tell them the truth even if they don’t like what they are hearing.
Not the people at CNN, they would much rather have someone lie to them and be told the thing that they want to hear even if it means that they are getting told a complete and total lie. Added to that, CNN wants to be the only game in town.
CNN’s Brian Stelter who is the host of “Reliable Sources” on CNN on Sunday mornings once again urged cable carriers to remove FOX News and others from the airwaves.
This week Stelter argued that, “Reducing a liar’s reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach.”
For the past few years, CNN has made it their job to delete opposing voices on the right. Since the election they are going after FOX News, OAN and Newsmax. The Gateway Pundit is ALWAYS a target with the fascists on the left.
Stelter truly believes he is doing the right thing by crushing voices he does not agree with. So did Mao.

CNN’s @oliverdarcy: “We should really be careful to avoid” making the “nonsensical” comparison between Fox News, MSNBC. “Fox is spinning their own reality” pic.twitter.com/54JGHQEMm8

Glenn Greenwall corrected the CNN crank saying, “Beyond all the creepy aspects of *journalists* again taking the lead in demanding media voices be repressed. Brian Stelter’s claim that “freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach” is totally false and has been rejected by courts for decades.
Also, CNN lies and spreads conspiracy theories constantly. They’re a pro-Democratic Party outlet that barely airs any dissent from the DNC line. If @brianstelter‘s standards for banishing Fox were applied equally, it’d affect all cable news outlets, not just one.

Hey @brianstelter, I know you don’t do dissent on your show — can’t have anyone challenging you or upsetting your DNC audience — but the next time you want to claim “freedom of speech isn’t freedom of reach,” read this on “free speech zones” by @ACLU:https://t.co/8eCG1mE8Uq

Meanwhile, Stelter has already vouched for the Biden White House’s relationship with the truth, praising press secretary Jen Psaki’s “refreshing” commitment to delivering accurate information.
