Free speech far superior to allowing powerful people to suppress ‘misinformation’ – John Stossel

Published

From StosselTV

Many reports and opinions once labelled “misinformation” turned out to be true.  In recent years, people in government and big media suddenly decided it was their job to stop “misinformation.” Facebook banned posts that claimed Covid leaked from a lab. Now experts say the lab leak theory is probably right. Senator Rand Paul was suspended from YouTube for saying, “masks don’t work very well, particularly the cloth masks.” What he said is absolutely true. Twitter prevented the NY Post’s reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop from being shared. The story was accurate.

It’s bad thing when media censors people. It’s worse when government polices speech. Twitter’s recently released internal files show government tried to control what you read.

Green Energy Needs Minerals, Yet America Blocks New Mines

Published on

From StosselTV

We’re told we need more minerals for EVERYTHING, especially “green” energy. But America regulators and environmental groups keep KILLING new mines!

 “Why in the world would you put billions of dollars at risk to get a permit? Knowing they’ll just cancel a permit!” Physicist Mark Mills writes about the absurd regulations in the mining industry, “You’re going to be waiting, not months, not years, but the record shows decades.” America used to lead the world in producing minerals. Now we rank next to last in the time it takes to develop mines. How did this happen? Because rich environmental groups hate mines. They run deceitful ads and even collude with government to block mines. The video above explains some of the many reasons why this is a BIG problem.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

The Crisis Industry: How Activists Profit from Panic

Published on

From StosselTV

Pollution, homophobia, racism, hate; activists claim everything is getting worse. The opposite is true. But if they admit that how would they raise money?

“For activists, success is a threat,” journalist John Tierney explains. “It is going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”

Tierney has covered activists for years and watched them move from one cause to another. “But it’s not a business,” I push back. “They’re not making money doing this.” “Oh, yes, they are,” replies Tierney. Lots!

Our new video looks at how these activist groups raise billions of dollars, the consequences of their activism, and why we fall for their scares.
