Cancelling The First Amendment

The New York Times said recently "It would be immoral to publish anything written by a member of the Trump administration."

In other words "We as a media outlet will not expose our readers to any ideas, thoughts or opinions that do not coincide with ours. We cannot allow you to read different ideas and think for yourself."

Hard to believe? Winston Smith didn't want to believe it either.

When I read George Orwell's "1984" in the early 70s I never dreamed I would actually witness such censorship and control happening in the United States. Yet we have major media outlets and big tech censoring anything they don't want you to see, read and hear, and a President telling Americans to report their friends, neighbors and family members who voice dissent against the government.

Publishing magnate Simon and Schuster cancelled a book contract with Republican Senator Josh Hawley following the Capitol riot on January 6th because Senator Hawley refused to agree with their narrative about the election and the disturbance. They refused to allow an American Senator to voice his ideas and opinions because his ideas did not coincide with theirs.

Facebook and Twitter have done the same thing, cancelling accounts of people who share ideas and beliefs with which they disagree. One was a sitting President. They also suspended and/or cancelled accounts of people who didn't wholeheartedly buy into the coronavirus hype. And you still can't suggest that the vaccine might not be 100% safe even though there are documented cases of people who have become ill and even died after receiving the vaccine.

The left does not want people to think for themselves. Instead they try hard to control the narrative and only allow consumers and/or consituents to have access to left-wing ideas. Those who disagree will be cancelled. It's the new norm in the United States.
