After the last few years I should have expected this in the wake of the District Court injunction against Federal Government agencies pressuring Big Tech and Social Media to censor what they allow to be said on their sites.

But having grown up listening to the endless chest thumping and boasting about Speaking Truth To Power, Watergate and the McCarthy era, high-minded claims from both the Left and the MSM, the following response from none other than the Washington Post is especially vomit-inducing:

The injunction was a victory for the state attorneys general, who have accused the Biden administration of enabling a “sprawling federal ‘Censorship Enterprise'” to encourage tech giants to remove politically unfavorable viewpoints and speakers, and for conservatives who’ve accused the government of suppressing their speech. In their filings, the attorneys general alleged the actions amount to “the most egregious violations of the First Amendment in the history of the United States of America.”

The judge, Terry A. Doughty, has yet to make a final ruling in the case, but in the injunction, he wrote that the Republican attorneys general “have produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content.”

The ruling could have critical implications for tech companies, which regularly communicate with government officials, especially during elections and emergencies, such as the coronavirus pandemic.

Yes, assholes – that’s the whole point. What you’re doing is illegal. It always was.

The NYT is no better.

Well, boo fucking hoo. The First Amendment makes it patently clear that government has no business regulating and censoring public debate and dissent and they don’t get to escape that by palming off the job to their friends in the MSM and Big Tech. When that happens it means those private actors have become agents of the State and they get treated as if they’re the State. it’s incredible that these legal facts about the key values and liberties of America, have to be spelled out to these assholes, of all people.

But that’s where we are today. That’s how far the MSM and frankly we as a civil society have fallen.

Now more than ever, Die MSM, Die.
