A few days ago, former N.Y. Times editor Bari Weiss, who had in fact left that paper because she could no longer bear its intolerable bias, appeared on CNN with the inexplicably still-employed Brian Stelter. Asked to explain herself, she vented in more or less the following terms: When the suggestion that Covid 19 may have emerged from experiments conducted at a Wuhan lab is denounced as an expression of Racism, the world would appear to have gone Mad! When declaring that Men and Women are significantly different is denounced as an expression of misogyny, the world would appear to have gone Mad! When simply stating that the riots of B.L.M. were in fact Riots is denounced as a perversion of the Truth, the world would appear to have gone Mad. When Republicans intent on exploring Hunter Biden’s laptop for evidence of his father’s very likely involvement in his corruption are excoriated as mere biased opportunists, the world would appear to have gone Mad!
Stelter mockingly laughs as Weiss finishes her diatribe, pointing out that the views she claims to have been stifled are in fact everywhere on the Internet. But, she replies, Networks such as yours, and indeed the Mainstream Media in general, consistently dismiss such self-evident Truths as right wing conspiracy theories, hate speech, misinformation, etc., etc, never actually considering their factual or intellectual merit.
Stelter’s hypocrisy, to anyone but the most indoctrinated, is laughably self-evident. That various virtue-signalling corporate enterprises and social media platforms have banished individuals for expressing politically incorrect views is a demonstrable fact. I know of several individuals working in the public domain who are afraid to express their honest, eminently enlightened opinions on certain issues for fear of being fired. Of course, being in league with those guilty of encouraging this cultural tyranny, Stelter has little more to offer Weiss in responding to her statements than his ignorant, condescending laughter!
