Democrats are Silencing Voices of Opposition

Democrats are Silencing Voices of Opposition: 'Silencing' has become a way of life for Democrats when they govern. For example, when Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, they held a hearing on 'Disinformation and Extremism in the Media.' What prompted the hearing was a letter, written by Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Jerry McNerney (D-CA), to 12 cable and satellite provider companies that carried TV shows ranging from the Food Network to Fox News. The letter began, "Our country's public discourse is plagued by misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories and lies." The representatives were concerned about right-wing media broadcasts, which, they claimed, was spreading 'lies' and 'disinformation.'
