Oh no, how dare the government pressure a private company to censor objectively false and deadly misinformation during a public health crisis and foreign disinformation campaigns that triggered a lethal insurrection ... Thank god we don't have that tyrannical dictator anymore: now we just pull statistics off public websites and try to get comedians the president doesnt like fired; back to what the founders envisioned!
... What a shit narrative.
I mean... It is reason.com. Nobody who knows about them was expecting anything reasonable.
Yeah? What content would that be, Google?
We need american dad to do a Jeffrey Epstein song.

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find something to give a BoTh SiDeS permission structure for maga before the seed of doubt takes root.
This article has jack shit. Author basically admits Biden did no pressuring except using the bully pulpit to highlight the kind of nonsensical non-scientific conspiracy crap that was endangering the public.
That's far, far different from using a regulatory oversight chair threaten broadcast licensing.
Good thing that stopped with Biden’s departure.
Really underlines for me: Don't give the government a power you wouldn't want the opposition party to have.....because they will have it in an election or two
God willing.
