Both CNN and MSNBC carried the entirety of the speech by DeSantis, after openly refusing to carry the speech by Trump, even though Trump won a landslide with 51% against DeSantis’ 21%.
It’s madness. CNN and MSNBC are flagrantly embracing their role as propagandists.
Now, both CNN and MSNBC are carrying the full speech by Nikki Haley. They are engaged in false advertising. They aren’t doing news reporting, they’re doing state propaganda.
CNN and MSNBC wouldn’t air Trump’s victory speech and instead are running this, pure, cliched propaganda.
CNN and MSNBC news executives made a terrible decision tonight. They embraced propaganda over journalism.
Neither CNN, MSNBC, nor Fox aired the concession speech by @VivekGRamaswamy despite, or perhaps because, the fact that he endorsed Trump, which is bigger news than anything either DeSantis or Haley said.
Trump won every county in Iowa thus CNN and MSNBC must protect their fragile viewers from his utterances.
We are witnessing an elite panic. It’s as primitive and superstitious as the one that declared some women to be witches capable of casting spells.

The United Nations Development Program @UNDP sounds like it would be pro-human development, but it’s not. It opposes modern energy and farming by poor nations. It is run by Malthusian ideologues and @wef puppets. After I exposed them, they blocked me.
I exposed @UNDP - @WEF disinformation and so UNDP blocked me. It doesn’t want dialogue. It wants obedience.
@UNDP @wef .@UNDP spreads disinformation and then demands censorship of the people who debunk them. Classic and pathological.
MSNBC host @maddow says NBC and other mainstream news networks have decided not to show Trump’s victory speech. CNN had him on briefly but then cut away and replaced him with @jaketapper who says “caucus goers believe the lie.”
How is this objective reporting? It’s like state propaganda.
Here’s what @MSNBC & @CNN are terrified people will see: Trump inviting up a guy dressed like a wall
What a sign of petulance, cowardice and idiocy to refuse to air the victory speech of the candidate who won a landslide primary and could be the next president.
Imagine for a moment that you wanted to seize control over the Internet and put in place a system of mass censorship worldwide. How would you do it?
You wouldn’t advertise your intentions. You’d hide them. You’d claim there was a rise in hate speech and misinformation and that it was hurting vulnerable people.
You wouldn’t take on powerful interests. You’d pick on individual citizens. You’d say that they were on the verge of committing real-world violence.
And you wouldn’t start in a big nation. You’d find some small country to start. You’d get their politicians to go out on a limb for your agenda.
That’s precisely what’s happening. Politicians in Ireland are, at this moment, attempting to ram through legislation that would allow the police to invade the homes of ordinary citizens, search their phones and computers, and throw them in prison for “hate speech.”
It’s understandable that people find all of this hard to believe. I find it hard to believe. It sounds like a “Black Mirror” episode.
But it’s not a “Black Mirror” episode. It’s real life. And it’s unfolding in Ireland at this very moment.
We don’t know who all is behind the plot to censor the Internet, but we know there is one.
We had thought that the Irish government had abandoned its totalitarian proposal. A scrappy, inspiring group, Free Speech Ireland, @FreeSpeechIre had successfully pushed back on the proposal last year, putting the government on the defensive.
But then a deranged man stabbed a schoolteacher and two children last November, triggering anti-immigration riots. Ireland’s Prime Minister and Justice Minister used the riots to bring back their hate legislation.
This time, Free Speech Ireland was ready. Its founders reached out to us and asked us to help raise the alarm.
We did, and you responded with support for the organization. Free Speech Ireland has now created a barnburner of a television and online advertisement that it will run for the next week.
But it’s not enough. Free Speech Ireland needs to raise $100,000 in the next 48 hours so it can run the ad across Ireland.
We will donate 100% of donations made to Environmental Progress to Free Speech Ireland for its inspiring work.
We can win this battle, but not without your help. Please take a moment now to donate.
Together we can prevent this “Black Mirror” nightmare from becoming a reality.
You can donate to Free Speech Ireland directly
Or you can donate to our nonprofit, Environmental Progress, and we will send 100% of all donations to Free Speech Ireland
The recent drama over Harvard's president revealed how America's top universities are engaged not in the pursuit of truth but rather in the control of thought.
The good news is that universities can once again be places of truth, critical inquiry, and free speech — if they are comprised of administrators, professors, and students who are committed to those values.
University professors and administrators deserve a lot of the blame for the censorship and dogma on campuses. But it has often been students who feel entitled to not feeling uncomfortable who are behind much of the informal and formal campus censorship.
The solution is to create new universities whose administrators, professors, and students understand that feeling uncomfortable intellectually is an essential part of learning and personal growth.
That's the ethos of the brand-new University of Austin (UATX). President Pano Kanelos left his position as president of the esteemed St. John’s College, the third oldest college in the United States, famous for its Great Books program, in order to build a free speech university in Austin, Texas from the foundation up.
Pano’s vision is also of a university that is rigorous, heterodox, and affordable. “Universities have a responsibility to be actively engaged in creating a culture of civil discourse,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “If we’re not cultivating the citizens who can speak productively across differences and help us move forward, then we’ve abrogated our responsibility as educators.”
The University of Austin’s selection of me as its first endowed chair is a strong statement by the university about its commitment to free speech. The university could have made a safer choice from the 4,000+ scholars who have expressed interest in joining UATX. Pano and UATX instead decided to lean into this moment with courage and conviction.
Time will tell whether Harvard and other elite universities will be able to change enough to return to their pursuit of truth. In the meantime, we intend to build something freer and better. Applications are open for 2024-25 — see you in class!
Most days, we get up and think everything’s fine. We are alive, we are housed, and we are members of society we call a nation. Within the borders of that nation, we don’t let foreigners poison our children.
But we do let foreigners poison our children.
Last year, foreigners, with the help of their American business partners, poisoned 112,000 of our children, relatives, and fellow citizens with fentanyl, meth, and other hard drugs. That’s more people killed every year by drugs than the total killed by the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
In November, Chinese President Xi visited San Francisco. We cleaned up the streets for him. What that meant was moving the homeless fentanyl addicts to where he wouldn’t see them.
In that same meeting, President Biden and Xi agreed that China would restrict its exports of the ingredients to make fentanyl. Biden said, "It’s going to save lives.”
But it didn’t save lives.
Please subscribe now to join our campaign to stop China and Mexico from poisoning our children, and to watch the rest of the video!
NPR is promoting a fentanyl addict's addiction-enablement ("harm reduction") as a model for dealing with record-breaking drug addiction deaths.
And NPR is using parents whose kids died from fentanyl to promote more fentanyl addiction.
This is pathological.
People say the drug war doesn't work.
What drug war?
There's obviously no "war" against fentanyl, carfentanil, and xylazine.
If there were, they wouldn't have increased drug deaths from 20,000 in 2000 to 112,000 in 2023.
There's no drug war, there's only drug enablement.
The claim from the New York Times, NPR, and Soros Inc. (e.g.,"Harm Reduction Alliance" and "Drug Policy Alliance") that fentanyl, carfentanil, and xylazine are abundant and cheap because of too much law enforcement is a psychotic lie of gigantic proportions.
