You have them reversed. Are the far right the ones wanting to censor Musk, Trump and everyone else they don't like?


The far right don’t seem to want to censor those two people in particular, no.


Precisely. It's the far left who wants people censored.


I said “those two people in particular” for a reason.

There are plenty of right wing people arguing that sharing certain information (e.g. legal advice for unsanctioned immigrants) should be illegal on the basis that it is “assisting criminals”.


Again censorship means something and "I don't like these people we shouldn't listen to them" is not censorship.

Musk has only had negative feelings except possibly some fringe thoughts (I have never heard a call for government censorship of Musk).

Trump was only asked to be censored when he was assisting a coup. Again not liking and not wanting people to listen is not censorship.


No, the far right are the ones dismantling federal agencies like the EPA, the FDA, USAID etc., sending the army to police states they don't like, firing the person responsible for jobs statistics because they don't like the numbers, slapping 50% tarrifs on countries because they dared to prosecute one of Trump's buddies etc. (just some of the latest examples).

The "far left" (as the far right likes to call anyone who doesn't agree with them) are those who don't like the above and are protesting against it...

Are you willing to link to a reputable news outlet instead? Or is that "anti-conservative censorship" too?


Which is a "reputable news outlet" to you? CNN? CNBC? NY times? LA times? Washington times?

Which of those totally reputable 100% unbiased news source owned by Ted Turner, Mathias Döpfner, Jeff Bezos or Rupert Murdoch do you want to listen to?


Associated Press or Reuters, bud. The civilized world typically doesn't refer to any other outlet when asking for reputable reporting.


Ah yes the governor should not work with Trump to get national problems fixed he should personally look at a single incident.


I am simply rephrasing the person I responded to and noting the difference in the meaning of the word "censorship".

Aka in once case it is censorship in another it is just people complaining which isn't censorship.
