Free speech violations by the Trump admin that were blatantly ignored by this “free speech” news outlet this week -
1 - No coverage at all of the NIH canceling research funding for people who don’t sign a pledge never to boycott Israel. A move made by your and Walter’s mutual friend, Jay Bhattacharya.
2 - No coverage of Trumps D.C. prosecutor trying to revoke the non-profit status on Wikipedia due to alleged foreign actors editing the site and making unfavorable edits that harm U.S. foreign policy goals (edits regarding Israel.)
Two separate censorship stories both being done on behalf of making Americans silent and subservient to a foreign nation and not a so much as a peep from either Walter or Matt.
I’m sure they will start covering the Trump admins attacks on free speech one day. Maybe they can find the time to report on this between the slop bashing Rachel Maddow, David Brooks (Canadian, not American) and the WEF.
Has Racket covered the 60 Minutes censorship debacle from last week? If so I missed it. I will search.
