The Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration set up a ‘Disinformation Governance Board‘ whose stated function was to ensure national security by combating “misinformation” and “disinformation” on social media. The powers of this board mean that the government will sit in judgment of its citizens and become the arbiter of what should and should not be allowed. ….
Remember: Totalitarian states don’t have laws that criminalize dissent. They merely accuse dissenters of engaging in seditious activities, conspiring against the state, or causing public harm. The notorious Ugandan dictator Idi Amin once said “There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.” They brutalize a few and the rest fall in line. ….*********************************
PS: The colleague’s mother’s fears for Jay Leno may have turned out to be true, albeit decades later.
When Leno was replaced by Jimmy Fallon, he was dominating the ratings, there was no business reason to replace him.
Some observers claimed it was because Leno wasn’t a hateful liberal, like his archrival David Letterman and other late-night “comics” such as Jon Stewart. Leno would unsparingly mock Obama’s incompetence and his scandals while others shamelessly fawned.
The worst Letterman would say when Obama was floundering was “Is he Bushing it up a bit?”
Following Leno’s departure, almost a decade ago, all late-night shows, apart from ‘Gutfeld,’ function as Democrat propagandists.
If Leno’s firing was truly for partisan reasons, it proves that freedoms began to erode under Obama.
