Free speech far superior to allowing powerful people to suppress ‘misinformation’ – John Stossel

Censorship Run Amok: Covid, The Lab Leak, Masks & The Twitter Files
Many reports and opinions once labelled “misinformation” turned out to be true. In recent years, people in government and big media suddenly decided it was their job to stop “misinformation.” Facebook banned posts that claimed Covid leaked from a lab. Now experts say the lab leak theory is probably right. Senator Rand Paul was suspended from YouTube for saying, “masks don’t work very well, particularly the cloth masks.” What he said is absolutely true. Twitter prevented the NY Post’s reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop from being shared. The story was accurate.
It’s bad thing when media censors people. It’s worse when government polices speech. Twitter’s recently released internal files show government tried to control what you read.

Protecting Free Speech: The Early Warning Signs From Around The World
From StosselTV
We Americans take free speech for granted. But if you look around the world, you see why we shouldn’t.
In Britain, you can get arrested for saying things online that police find “offensive.”
In Scotland, misgendering someone can land you in jail for seven years.
Canada may soon pass a law that would punish “advocating genocide” with life in prison.
Now in the U.S., the House of Representatives voted for a bill that would make chants like “from the river to the sea” illegal at universities.
These are bad ideas. Free speech is valuable.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

The Swamp Survived: Why Trump Failed to “Drain the Swamp”
From StosselTV
As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp.” He didn’t.
Trump made government bigger. He hired new employees, doubled federal spending, and started a bunch of new programs. Now the swamp is bigger.
In our new video, Economist Ed Stringham explains the real way to drain the swamp is to cut the spending that swamp creatures feed on.
