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.

Publicity Kills DEI: A Free Speech Solution to Woke Companies

Published on

For years, major corporations bragged about their wonderful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. They’re good for business and morally correct, they said. So why are they now cutting those programs?

Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice! But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.

Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was “crazy trainings” and “overtly racist hiring practices.” Now lots of people agree with him.

Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.

That’s the power of free speech.

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

What Socialist Influencers Get Wrong (Just About Everything)

Published on

From StosselTV

Socialism is popular!

Youtube and TikTok stars say socialism “maximizes freedom… increases life-expectancy,” and “improves home-ownership.” It’s so absurd!

I asked my producer, Kristin Tokarev, to investigate their claims. Her video debunks their propaganda.

Influencers now rack up millions of views claiming socialism works better than capitalism. Here’s some of what they get terribly wrong!

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