It’s interesting how you take Freedom of Speech for granted until it’s gone.

Unfortunately there is no longer any freedom of speech in America!

It now believe the science as dictated to you by the elites. Science used to be about asking questions. That’s how science advances by asking questions. But those days are gone. It’s all believe the science or your a heretic science denier like Galileo who was persecuted in 1615 because he said the earth rotated around the sun!

Don’t talk politics because questioning the ruling class of professional politicians is forbidden.

Tech & media oligarchs now censor whatever is not in their best interests! The 1/2 of 1% now rules America. They just met in sun valley billionaires with total wealth of 5 trillion dollars.
They have freedom to run propaganda brainwashing and to censor free speech!

Where do we go from here? Will freedom become important again or will Americans be content being ruled by billionaire elitists. Economic reality is usually the great leveler. US Debt now 28 trillion which is unsustainable.

Quit reading so much and enjoy the final years of your life. You moved to Tv for an enjoyable life. Stop acting like Debbie Downer

Enjoyed this freedom of speech, God bless America. U.S. of A. a great country.

Wow….. bury your head in the sand because your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have nothing to do with this country because you’re retired. Let’s not worry about anything outside the bubble like our country or family…….smh

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

So, the problem you are expressing here is that left-leaning media outnumber right-leaning media? And for that, you want to abandon the constitution and force companies to do what you want them to do?

Would you be as concerned if the majority of news outlets were right-leaning? I mean Tucker is the most-watched show in the US, should we censor his show because I disagree with his right-wing bias?

It’s not just that. The point here is that the media twist and turns the new to what they want you to hear. Have you been in the dark. Big social media has censored their sites to fit their personal agenda, they hide the truth if it does not fit the agenda for the day. News report report ONLY what they are told and they are feed words and lines to use in their reports. Have not watch the videos of CNN telling the employees what they are allow to report. In case you don’t truly get it Censorship is a violation of freedom of speech.

This is an answer that resonates with reality!

Wow…you nailed it!

It's always amazing, how many people don't really understand that freedom of speech only applies to the government restricting such, not to private businesses. Then there are those who fail to understand that freedom of speech, doesn't insulate one from the consequences of that speech. It's also not a coincidence that a lot of those screaming the loudest about how their speech is being restricted, by private entities, are often the same ones who constantly lie and spread the most outrageous conspiracy theories. Keeping in mind, that cyber-space is so large, that anyone can find at least a few places that will allow (and even welcome) their wacky and extremist opinions.
