OPINION: AshleyRindsberg: The mainstream media's political activism is this country's greatest threat to freedom of speech
The reason for this is simple. Whether the topic is the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, the corruption of an elite political family, a four-year-long attempt to prove"collusion" between Trump and Russia, or any of the dozens of other such narratives that dominate headlines until proven baseless, the media has shown itself committed to delivering the political narrative of the day, no questions asked.
In fact, looking at the American media’s response to the war in Ukraine it’s clear that, far from seeing this as a moment of self-reflection, the press is doubling down on its heavy-handed tactics. The New York Times finally confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop this week but critics feel it was too little, too late by the liberal newspaper.
Even more importantly where the fate of America’s newsrooms are concerned, with alternative sources pulling back the curtain on politically-driven narratives, and regular folks on social media engaging in the kind of"unfettered conversations" the media despises, we’re finally able to assess for ourselves what’s really going on. And this is the one thing America’s narrative-spinning media simply will not stand for.
