The left wants free speech for propaganda, but not for the truth. Just like the two-tiered justice system.

Mr. DeSantis and his guests laid out a detailed case for revisiting a landmark Supreme Court decision protecting the press from defamation lawsuits.

Stop it, Governor DeSantis! Just stop it! Stop destroying liberal institutions!

You're making Trump look bad.

” DeSantis is a Wall Street globalist. You just don’t know it yet.”

ROTFLMAOA!

Your fake posts are not helping Trump. Just reminding everyone about Trump’s lack of control.

Is the Times trying to protect its right to continue to say “false” claims of election fraud?

You can't see reality, for if you could, you would see that I am correct. I almost hope you foolish people get your wish. Then you will realize you won nothing, except for the continuation of a corrupt government fleecing you of your money who cares nothing whatsoever about you.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

For now, you fall into the middle category.

Ken Bensinger of The Walter Duranty Times - just another Media fabulist, lying for The "By Any Means Necessary" Party:

New York Times Hires Buzzfeed Lead Reporter on Steele Dossier [Ken Bensinger] to Cover ‘Right-Wing Media’
August 18, 2022
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4086875/posts

The New York Times announced Thursday that it has hired Buzzfeed News’s Ken Bensinger to “pioneer a new beat” covering right-wing media — the same Ken Bensinger, the Times omits in its announcement, who first reported the Steele Dossier...

...The [coming-out] statement [for Ken the Fabulist] provides an exhaustive list of topics and stories Bensinger has covered — from campaign finance, to “political disinformation,” to the Oath Keepers’ finances.

Curiously absent, however, is any mention of Bensinger being the lead reporter on the uncritical Buzzfeed story that injected the infamous Steele Dossier into the public conversation in 2017, with the headline: “These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia.”

The Dossier was eventually revealed to be full of false information, after it was used as the basis for the “Russia collusion” investigation that consumed the majority of former President Donald Trump’s term, ultimately proving to be a hoax.

Bensinger never reported any follow-up stories on the topic of the Dossier, according to his byline on Buzzfeed, after it was confirmed to be disinformation.

The bulk of his work following that story focused on foreign workers being employed at Trump properties.

But …the NYT is pointing out what a good Republican he is. The Times would never promote a Republican. Why would the Times like a Republican?

News reporting is one thing, what we’ve been seeing the last 20 years or so is basically opinion editorials. It’s not enough that a journalist wants to cover news events but they ALL desire to express their own personal little editorial opinions... which is not news reporting.

“You can’t see reality, for if you could, you would see that I am correct.”

Your reality is baseless attacks you can’t substantiate.

>> I almost hope you foolish people get your wish

In this regard, the Establishment is much like a drug to an addict — the peace of mind they’re after — the illusion of conservatism in action dispensed in a well-crafted stream of Kabuki where our Conservative heroes rout the Rat villains. They’re hungry for the next episode too fatigued by the reality of the necessary dirty work.

The third glowing report I’ve noticed in the last 48 hours. Crazy, eh?

Exactly. Most folks don’t know the difference between their own opinions and somebody elses anymore.
