Washington Examiner - Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Washington Examiner investigative reporter Gabe Kaminsky has blown the lid off a stealth operation in which supposedly “nonpartisan” left-wing organizations are blacklisting conservative news outlets. The idea is to persuade advertisers to shun them. Then, offending right-wingers must either knuckle under and parrot fashionable orthodoxies or be forced out of business.
The false pretext for this damaging, malicious, and secret attack is that conservative outlets, including the Washington Examiner, spread “disinformation.” An example of what the leftist groups, such as the Global Disinformation Index, object to is a perfectly acceptable opinion article execrating the Left’s obsession with sex and gender, in which author Quin Hillyer challenges many of its assumptions and assertions. Read it for yourself and decide if the opinions should not be allowed in a free society.
Suppression of unfashionable opinion is arrogant and dangerous, especially in America, which enshrines free speech as its primary foundational value. The arrogance and danger are compounded by the refusal of GDI and other censoring organizations, such as DoubleVerify and IAS, to accept challenges and explain their case. Instead, they act as judge and executioner, refusing to let the accused rebut their accusations.
America’s ideological and media landscape has become a place of suppression. Leftists do not see differences of opinion as needing to be debated, for logical argument triumphs over nonsense, and our postmodern Marxist masters would thus enjoy limited success. So, they prefer not to explain or argue and instead do what they can to silence antagonists and inflict financial and social pain on them.
