A proposed law in the United Kingdom (U.K.) would reportedly regulate social media like a “hazard industry,” with new methods of censorship. Free speech advocates should be concerned.

Liberal partisans who want to crush any shred of fairness in reporting are latching on to a Friday column in the Los Angeles Times by Jackie Calmes, who was an “objective” reporter for decades. The headline was "Why journalists are failing the public with ‘both-siderism’ in political coverage."

In Monday's White House briefing, Fox reporter Peter Doocy prompted White House press secretary Jen Psaki to restate that the massive "progressive" spending package being debated costs "zero."

The Acostas and Stelters and Tappers would rage when President Trump "demonized" the press corps as badly behaved brats. But apparently, it's okay when Joe Biden does it.  It wasn't CNN, but the RNC that noted Biden's latest outburst when he sat down with Indian prime minister Narendra Modi in the White House. 

The left wants to censor more! Big Tech has continued its onslaught of censorship of free speech online at the behest of the left. And now the left is gunning for online firearms marketplaces with a proposed repeal of certain Section 230 protections.

In the latest edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, the hot story is Team Biden trying to shut down the Fox News camera on the border in Texas. Fox reporter Bill Melugin had to report  that the Federal Aviation Administration ruled their drone had to be grounded. Conservative Twitter responded by imagining how the Stelters of the world might have responded if Trump grounded their drone cameras…

Neither guardian of facts noticed Biden unloaded a whopper about "my first job offer" came…

Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote a letter to Amazon last week demanding that the company more stringently censor so-called COVID-19 “misinformation.”

On Friday, AP executive Daisy Veerasingham wrote a Nasty-Gram to Gov. Ron DeSantis complaining that his press secretary Christina Pushaw was endangering reporters with her tweets. It recapped her tweets ripping the story that used terms like "Drag Them" and "put you on blast," with the AP executive characterizing them as a direct threat to her reporter. It's got that Jim Acosta echo: any…

The very supportive media environment around President Biden has turned suddenly sour over this administration’s shoddy handling of Afghanistan. This debacle shouldn’t be buried and ignored by the press, like they’ve tried to do with the border crisis. But Biden’s gone back to hiding as a strategy, as he did in the 2020 campaign.

National Public Radio is bowing to pressure from leftist journalists inside their workforce, and loosening restrictions on their "objective" reporters marching in protests for the "freedom and dignity of human beings." We can all guess this verbiage doesn't mean they all wanted to participate in the March for Life or an NRA event. As often happens, NPR is leading the rest of the press further…

The bad news for liberals arrived on the front page of the May 18 Washington Post, under the mild-mannered headline “Hopes dim for Democrats’ bills on election oversight.”
