ABSOLUTELY CHILLING – OVERNIGHT: The socialists in Congress are getting ready for their "To Moscow with Love" show. I want no part of it. From the New York Post:
WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez revealed that Congress is looking into creating an investigative commission to “rein in” the media in the wake of the US Capitol siege.
During a lengthy Instagram Live on Tuesday evening where she revealed that she feared for her life during the siege, the “Squad” member accused the mainstream media of “spewing disinformation” ahead of the deadly riot which killed five people.
“There’s absolutely a commission that’s being discussed but it seems to be more investigating in style rather than truth and reconciliation,” she said.
“I do think that several members of Congress in some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is part of what happened here,” she went on.
“We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation,” she said.
“It’s one thing to have differentiating opinions, but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false so that’s something that we’re looking into.”
COMMENT: The language of a budding totalitarian. We don't need the government to tell us what to think. In the immortal words of Sam Goldwyn, "Include me out."
