🚨D.C. Circuit Judge Silberman just released a truly wild dissent calling on the Supreme Court to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan, claiming NYT and WaPo are "virtually Democratic Party broadsheets," and accusing "big tech" of censoring conservatives. cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini… 
Judge Silberman explicitly attacks Twitter for restricting the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story, complains that "there are serious efforts to muzzle Fox News," and writes that "Democratic Party ideological control" of the media is "a threat to a viable democracy."
Silberman's final footnote: "The reasons for press bias are too complicated to address here. But they surely relate to bias at academic institutions." Doesn't elaborate. cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini…
Some background on Judge Silberman: theintercept.com/2020/06/15/dc-…
Don't miss Judge Silberman's accusation that the Supreme Court has "committed itself to a constitutional Brezhnev doctrine" by adhering to precedent, accompanied by this footnote. cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini…
One aspect of this story I want to highlight: Silberman notoriously accused Elizabeth Warren of seeking "the desecration of Confederate graves," which is a lie that he almost certainly absorbed from his favorite network, Fox News! slate.com/news-and-polit…
