Democrats are waging an assault on the First Amendment, with two Democrat House lawmakers demanding answers from cable television providers on the role they play in the “spread of dangerous misinformation.”
The letter, signed by Reps. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., and Jerry McNerney, D-Calif., and released to the press Monday, targets only conservative-leaning outlets, including Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN.
On Wednesday, the House subcommittee on Communications and Technology of the Committee on Energy and Commerce is scheduled to hold a hearing on disinformation and extremism in media.

FCC Commissioner Carr Denounces House Attack on First Amendment
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr vilified Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney of California for writing television cable providers such as AT&T, Comcast, Apple and Amazon and virtually demanding they drop conservative news outlets such as Newsmax for “disseminating disinformation.”
Carr decried the letters – asking the chief executives of the companies seven questions with regard to policies on how they determine whether or not to carry particular channels – as an “effort to censor newsrooms.”
“By writing letters to the cable providers and other regulated entities that carry these news media outlets, the Democrats are sending a message that is as clear as it is troubling—these regulated entities will pay a price if the targeted newsrooms do not conform to Democrats’ preferred political narratives,” Carr wrote in a statement on his website. “This is a chilling transgression of the free speech rights that every media outlet in this country enjoys.”

How do you change—change the U.S. from a capitalist system’,
into a government controlled socialistic society.
1. Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2. Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
3. Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children and young people learn in schools and colleges.
4. Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
5. Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take from the wealthy and give to poor.
Until there are only the poor.
6. Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level.
7. Gun Control — Remove the ability for the people to defend themselves from the Government. (“Socialist Democrat Party State”)
8. Poverty — Increase the poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will keep socialists in power if they are providing everything for them to live.
Do these look like the tactics of the Democrat Party??
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers and Gestapo are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and support the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as
“Enemies of the State”.
Well said Scruffy.
Thank you for your service!
The DemocRAT Party is LONG Gone. It is now the Marxist Communist Party of The USSR Of America. They no longer hide their Treasonous Actions. They Blatantly Profess their allegiance to Communist Totalitarianism.
ANY cable provider who GIVES INTO this, deserves to LOSE EVERY CUSTOMER they have.
Fox has been giving in to this for a long time and they have lost several viewers. There’s only about 5 conservatives left and they might be gone before the end of the year.
Yea, hannity, Ingraham, Tucker, Judge Pirro, and the cast of the 5!
Puppet Biden is enjoying his power and plays his fiddle while he manages the destruction of the US. We need to take his fiddle and power away by any means possible.
communist occupiers
Any factual information that contradicts the Democrats’ distorted view of reality is dismissed outright by the left as disinformation that must be censored in order to “protect” the people. Since the Democrats now have control of both the Executive and Legislative Branches of the federal government, they have intensified their campaign to silence and punish any organization or individual that dares to expose the insanity of their divisive and destructive policies. Without conservative news organizations, the American people would be constantly bombarded with leftist propaganda that would accelerate our nation’s transition from a Constitutional Republic into a socialist dictatorship.
The communist revolution speeds up – classic Bolshevik.
What next. Sending Conservatives to gulags?
Next will be civil war. Depending on who wins will decide who goes to gulags.
With how the left’s bee attacking us for years, we’re already IN that civil war.. Conservatives just havn’t responded in kind.
If their ability to buy and sell (feed themselves) is eliminated there is no need to spend money to send them anywhere. They will simply die where they stand.
I remember when the Democrats used to preach about “learning the lessons” of WWII, Viet Nam, etc.. They learned from Nazi Germany that shipping despicable s uses up resources.
George Soros knows this firsthand.
This is suppression at its best! Do these people, as members of Congress and from California, that we have a constitution that they signed on to uphold?
SINCE WHEN have dems, ever given a hit, about HONORING their oath to our constitution?? THEY ALL DESPISE IT.
The communist Democrats are moving fast to instantly turn our Country into a communist Country. Reps. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., and Jerry McNerney, D-Calif. obviously swore to uphold the Stalin Constitution of the Soviet Union, adopted in 1936. A civil war is coming soon, where we will have to defeat the communists.
We are in synch with Spain pre-1936. It is tedious reading, but very illuminating to our present condition in this country it is Hugh Thomas’-The Spanish Civil War, 1989 Ed.
How many people on here think Eshoo and McNerney look like low-level Gestapo strivers?? That’s what sends chills down my spine – the sight of these pinheads grabbing power and exercising it over my fellow citizens. This whole deal seems to be turning very sour very quickly now – it won’t be long before something pops.
The disinformation isn’t coming from the right I can tell you that. I feel like I’m living in the novel “1984”. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale NOT a how to manual. God help us!
apparently the u.s.a. is not worth fighting for.
we still sit back an let the marxist demons keep taking away our rights and freedoms
under the guises of climate change and hate speech.
these people weaponize every thing against the conservative american citizen.
What, exactly, is this alleged “misinformation “?
Shouldn’t these hack “lawmakers” be required to articulate EXACTLY what they believe these news outlets have been disseminating (as opposed to the YEARS of disinformation of Trump/Russia collusion)?
What is it? ITS ANYTHING not according to libtard dogma…
The first month of actions by *president and what looks like 100% of the Democrat party is a very valuable tool we can use to measure their trustworthiness over that past 5 years. About anything they do or say.
If anyone believes that Trump was an inveterate liar, that Trump was guilty of cozening up to dictators, that Trump colluded with Russia, that Trump scored a Quid Pro Quo with the Ukraine, that Trump stole the 2016 election, that Trump is guilty for all the COVID deaths, was an advocate of the Capitol riots or that Trump planned an insurrection, those poor confused people, like Mitt Romney and the other Republican? Senators who voted to find Trump guilty in inpeachment#2 have lost their sanity.
Polite words can not be found to describe how gullible and stupid they are. Or how selfish and devious they are willing to be to keep their jobs as US senators. Add to that how blind they are, and were, to not recognize that the 2020 election was cloaked in deceit and fraud. Even if the Republican Party shed those people and had smaller minority in numbers the Republicans would be stronger without those spineless people. Ah, “spineless” is the word I’m looking for. Spineless and stupid.
NAME ME one act, dems have done, that shows in ANY WAY they are trustworthy???
These guys are stupid anyway. I mean, regular cable TV subscriptions are already down as it is because of internet powered TV options, and if these dinosaurs like AT&T and Verizon FiOS drop them, the only thing they’re going to hurt is themselves. Obviously right now Fox News doesn’t have an alternative standalone subscription service outside the Cable package or certain online TV services like sling tv, but they certainly could if they want. But Newsmax can already be seen outside the cable and independent streaming platforms and can be seen either or their website or on that PlutoTV thing. I think cable subscribers would drop by at !east 60 million if these networks get dropped.
So yeah you stupid Dems, you’re only going to bankrupt the hands that feed you in doing this.
Democrat scum need to be removed
