You Don’t Have to Publish Both Sides When One Side Is Fascism

I don't believe in censorship, but the tricky balance is also not wanting wealth & power to buy more free speech. It setups up a feedback loop which can't be stable.

My one worry -- never before such a heavily armed, and spoiled/non-self-reliant population ever had a collapse/revolution.

Yes, I would prefer freedom of "factual" speech. And now a mental picture, the king of Babylon with a fleet of A-10 Warthogs.

I struggle to envision that freedom of speech was ever intended to exist to protect propaganda, and that is largely what is passing for news these days. If we are going to allow this to continue under the premise of freedom of speech, I think it is reasonable that if it fits the definition of propaganda, it be marked as such, across the board.

Well said!
