Comrade Kirsten Powers acts like she's working for Pravda, oh wait, she's working for CNN

CNN's Kirsten Powers has suggested that Republicans should just shut up because she doesn't agree with what they say. 

Brilliant! 

She's miffed that YouTube is finally changing their censorship policies that have gagged conservative speech in the past, partly because Twitter, under Elon Musk, was first to abide by the First Amendment and is kicking YouTube's symbolic butt all across the Internet, and is doing a 180 degree turn.

YouTube, on Friday, tried to justify their American-way move this way: “In the current environment, we find that while removing this content does curb some misinformation, it could also have the unintended effect of curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm.”

YouTube also noted, “As with any update to our policies, we carefully deliberated this change.”

Of course historically, they tended not to curb any misinformation by the Left, but they forgot to mention that for some reason. Ideally, they would not curb any information that wasn't calling for violence, but that was never going to happen. 

Regarding the 2024 election season that is now getting underway, the company wrote:

“The ability to openly debate political ideas, even those that are controversial or based on disproven assumptions, is core to a functioning democratic society — especially in the midst of election season.”

Well-said. Now. But it was also true for the entire time they were removing videos over the last three years. And now they want to try to make up with people and pretend they care about free speech? Sorry if I don’t believe it. They took a political side and now they can’t roll it back.

Even with this change, they’re still leaving some wiggle room to go after things that will likely benefit the Left.

But it's fairly obvious that the reason they're doing this about-face is because of Twitter's potential takeover of political shows and podcasts, leaving YouTube in the dust, so this may be YouTube's attempt at assuaging the situation.

However, the Compromised News Network's Kirsten Powers had a cow and couldn’t seem to deal with it.

“And so, if the problem is that, ‘Oh, people aren’t going to be able to upload things that Republicans are saying,’ maybe Republicans should stop saying it, right? Is that not the solution to the problem?” Comrade Powers complained. 

She later tried to clean up the load she had dumped, but it went over like another load. 

So, I [don't] think that — look, I [don't] support free speech, and I don’t think we want to silence political speech. But this company does [not] have [the] responsibility [to decide what can or cannot be spoken]. And that’s not a violation of free speech to say, “We’re not going to allow you to upload information that is demonstrably false.”

Who gets to determine what is “false,” Kirsten? I know you'd like to be on that company committee. 

Why did 2020 questions about election mishandling from Republicans get censored, yet all the Democrats floating election denialism in 2016 never did?

Because the liberal media is like an extension of the DNC, and anyone with eyes and a brain knows this.
