Inside the silo of the “legacy media,” they are alarmed that left-tilting government bureaucrats are being discouraged from telling social-media platforms what speech they should suppress…in the name of “democracy.”

In 2020, these platforms crushed damaging stories about Hunter Biden and “conspiracy theories” about COVID emerging from a Chinese lab. It doesn’t matter now that the “suppressed” side was correct, and the “misinformation” actually came from the Left. The Washington Post expressed alarm under the headline: “U.S. stops helping Big Tech spot foreign meddling amid GOP legal threats.”

Notice the Biden gang and the leftist permanent bureaucracy are described as the “U.S.,” like they’re super-neutral. Reporters Naomi Nix and Cat Zakrzewski began with “The U.S. federal government has stopped warning some social networks about foreign disinformation campaigns on their platforms.”

This alarmed the Censorship-Industrial Complex on the Left, who were also described super-neutrally as “researchers.” The Post lamented, “For months, researchers in government and academia have warned that a barrage of lawsuits, congressional demands and online attacks are having a chilling effect on programs intended to combat health and election misinformation.”

A series of "researchers" are quoted making the left-wing case. Their back-door control of the political narrative through the federal government is pawned off as “election integrity.” If democracy is synonymous with the Democrats, then integrity is only assured by Democrat victory.
