A writer at billionaire Jeff Bezos’s The Washington Post had an unusual response to President Donald Trump’s executive order on censorship: Won’t anyone think of the censors?
The Post once again perfectly turned a situation on its head by arguing that censorship is free speech and efforts to curtail the silencing of speech are true censorship. In a Jan. 22 article, The Post outrageously condemned President Donald Trump and Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) efforts to fight censorship on social media and downplayed government efforts to make social media companies censor. The Post partially accomplished this by repeatedly citing a litigation director at the misleadingly named Knight First Amendment Institute, Alex Abdo, who aggressively defended Big Tech’s right to censor.
