Tucker Carlson Tonight host sounds off on Democrats censorship push on private speech, vaccine misinformation
Last March, as the first big clusters of coronavirus cases started to appear in this country, media executives in Silicon Valley coordinated with officials in Washington to determine how much the public was allowed to know about the growing epidemic that was killing them.
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook emailed Tony Fauci at NIH, to assure him that Facebook users would see only Tony Fauci’s approved guidance on COVID-19. Twitter and Google effectively did the same.
Twitter and Google eliminated any post that deviated from Washington’s official line. In many cases, they censored information from front-line physicians that was both medically sound – it was the science – and potentially lifesaving. Posts about treatments for example were downplayed. They have never apologized for this, they probably never will.

It took five months for the Biden administration to make a substantive policy change to advance abortion rights. And even that change was buried in a 61-page regulation setting rules for 2022’s Affordable Care Act enrollment.
The policy would reverse a Trump administration rule requiring insurers that cover abortion to send separate bills for that coverage. Abortion opponents had hoped the extra paperwork would persuade insurers to stop offering the coverage.
But the new administration’s effort also highlights the frustrations abortion-rights advocates have with the slow pace of change from a president they strongly supported and who courted their votes. “Biden will work to codify Roe v. Wade, and his Justice Department will do everything in its power to stop the rash of state laws that so blatantly violate Roe v. Wade,” said his campaign platform.
On May 19, Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill No. 8, banning abortions as early as six weeks â before most women know they are pregnant â while making no exceptions for victims of assault or incest. This law prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected and enables any citizen to sue anyone who drives a woman to a clinic, any abortion provider and those who pay for the procedure.Â
Other states have passed similar bills and once signed, activists filed lawsuits against them. Courts have also blocked these laws, but the billâs enforcement mechanism requires private citizens to file lawsuits against violators, making it hard to overturn this law. The U.S. Supreme Court revealed that in fall 2021, they will determine if these laws are unconstitutional.Â
