Media watchdogs are shocked and appalled that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that Congress is looking into media literacy initiatives, including a commission to help "rein in" misinformation in the wake of last week’s deadly breach of the U.S. Capitol – and one critic slammed AOC’s suggestion as "wholly un-American."
During a lengthy live stream on Instagram on Tuesday night, the leader of the so-called "Squad" discussed the aftermath of the Capitol riot, how she feared for her life during the chaos and what needs to be done going forward.

"Media watchdogs are shocked and appalled"
Why?
Have they been asleep in their media watch doghouses for the last 4 years?

This is not shocking. She is a communist in training. Shut down free speech and free thought replacing it with government approved speech and thought. Communism 101. Ignorance on parade is not pretty but I will defend her right to look like an asshat.

AOC is merely a famous representative of much of a generation who has little if any understanding of fundamental human and American rights and even less concern for the same.
The media is focused on the passing scene like political theater impeachment, while the infinity more important issue of Free Speech being rapidly stripped away gets scant attention. When it does, some poorly educated Socialist is promoting censorship.
Scary times.

Fox may be enduring the longest "walk of shame" in history following its "declare the victor" liaison with other corporate media the Saturday following the election.

Well apparently CNN has called for Fox News and Newsmax to be shut down by the streaming and cable companies so everyone is not appalled!

Now that’s rich. We The People are muzzled and censored. The media can make up anything they like and push it without consequences...

Just a juvenile fool calling for the tearing down of the fence without a clue what it was put up for in the first place.

Sandy, the tip stealing barmaid, is wholly unAmerican in everything she does.

And who could not have predicted this.
I am reminded of that part in A Man for All Seasons where Sir Thomas is schooling Young Roper on giving the Devil the benefit of the law "for my own safety's sake!"
A good reminder there have always been the foolish, the unscrupulous, the dishonorable, and the greedy right along with the valiant, just, and saintly.

I’m amazed at her stupidity, and the fact that (a) she is given a platform and (b) that anyone gives her credibility.
Amazing. A barmaid from Brooklyn speaks with authority.

All of the 'fact checkers' out there are Leftwing disinformation hubs. Even Snopes, which began surprisingly neutral, was taken over and turned into a Left Spin zone. And AOC wouldn't know the truth if it pinched her in the behind.

Where would AOC be without a willing media to promote her? For the last two years the media has fawned over her waiting breathlessly for the next nugget of idiocy to spring from her mouth. Now she wants to rein in the media? I guess she thinks she can promote herself on her own. With a head that big, I suspect she'll fall flat on her face.

How did somebody with the IQ of an eggplant get elected to Congress? And reelected for crying out loud? Oh, right. She ran as a Democrat. Having a clue is not required. In fact, it's discouraged.

The only watchdogs that slam Sandy Cortez are members of the so-called conservative media. Not one member of the Democrat press, which includes 90% of the media, has slammed her nor will they do so. None of them are "shocked and appalled." They will support her in ending freedom of speech.

This is a slamdunk for any politician, to wrap in the Constitution and the First Amerndment and jam AOC from now until next election. Anyone elected speak up yet? Our great defenders again punk out. Why do they bother to swear and oath anymore?

Like this but in reverse:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I guess it is a tribute to our public and liberal education system that we have a whole crop of home-grown "representatives" at various levels of our government who are functionally illiterate in "Americanism", and indistinguishable in that respect from others in their ranks who arrived on our shores later in life. They all essentially behave like outsourced caricatures of the positions they have found their way into.
From such as AOC, Tlaib and Omar to VP-Elect Harris herself, these people have reached some level of dubious maturity without developing a solitary CLUE what it means to think, live, and breathe as an American, to have an American soul and to worship the rights and freedoms we have. It is an academic exercise at best for them, and a cynical political infiltration at worst.
How is it that we expect greatness, or even just adequacy, from our leaders if we don't also require the people we elect to at least demonstrate a grasp of what we are about, before we put them in position to set fire to our home?
