As you know if you’ve been reading this site, CNN’s Jake Tapper has really become sanctimonious ever since President Trump’s defeat at the polls, and he’s not letting any members of Congress who questioned the election result off the hook, questioning one’s commitment to democracy here at home even when he’d lost both legs fighting for democracy abroad. Tapper’s been making up some straw men to make his points:
"I decry violence," said the senator, while spilling gunpowder and gasoline all over the building and handing out matches to miscreant teenagers

Ever since that tweet we’ve been asking in a few posts, “Is this gasoline?” Was it gasoline when Rep. Eric Swalwell went on PBS to compare Trump to Osama bin Laden? Was it gasoline when the Washington Post falsely reported that Jacob Blake was unarmed when he was shot by a police officer?
Richard Grenell recognizes gasoline on a fire when he sees it:
You know what’s dangerous for a democracy?
Reporters who pretend to be unbiased but are partisan advocates.
It is gasoline to a fire.

Democracy dies when reporters pick a side

Also…reporters that profess they are advocates of "free speech" and "free press", but ostracize anyone who disagrees with them.

Columnist Max Boot wants President Biden to “reinvigorate” the FCC to maybe get some of those problematic channels off the air or at least show the “sedition” coming from them.

All reporters have opinions and viewpoints, but they should also be able to write an unbiased report on the truth, if they are truly professionals.

When those same partisans control the content on social media we drop a nuclear bomb on democracy

What happens when the entire reporting establishment, all across the Western world, are all pretending to be unbiased but are partisan advocates?
You know, like right now. ?

Never thought I’d see so many people cheering on censorship…especially reporters. #Ironic

It’s almost as if they know they’re safe under one party’s rule.
They will end up burning themselves.
