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

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.

From StosselTV

If you find someone squatting in your house, it turns out that there’s often very little you can do to get them out. That’s why Flash Shelton started SquatterHunters.com, to help homeowners remove unwanted intruders.

Flash Shelton couldn’t believe it when he found there was a stranger living in his mother’s old house. He called the police, but they wouldn’t help him. Turns out, laws meant to protect tenants, also protect squatters.

Shelton took matters into his own hands. Here’s how he out-squatted the squatter:
