pipedreams Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 A prominent Washington D.C. Circuit Court Judge, Laurence Silberman, warned in his dissent in a case, that the media has become very close to one party (Democrat) control. “It should be borne in mind that the first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news. It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy,” the judge continued. “It may even give rise to countervailing extremism. “The First Amendment guarantees a free press to foster a vibrant trade in ideas. But a biased press can distort the marketplace. And when the media has proven its willingness—if not eagerness—to so distort, it is a profound mistake to stand by unjustified legal rules that serve only to enhance the press’ power.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/threat-american-democracy-federal-judge-warns-democrat-media-complex/ We couldn’t agree more. The media in the US is more like that of 3rd world banana republics than of the news media from decades ago in the US. Of course, there have always been liberal efforts to control the news but the US has long surpassed having a free and fair press in the Mainstream media and with the advent of the far-left social media giants.
