Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told MSNBC host Jen Psaki she believes the federal government needs to start censoring hosts on Fox News for incitement for events like the Capitol riot on January 6.
"Do you think media organizations or social media platforms should be accountable for the role, for being being platforms for incitement?" the former Biden White House press secretary asked.
"I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like Fox News, these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn't," Ocasio-Cortez replied. "When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence — very clearly incitement of violence. And that is the line that we have to be willing to contend with."
"We have very real issues with what is permissible on air. We saw that with Jan. 6 and we saw that in the lead up to Jan. 6 and how we navigate questions — not just a freedom of speech but also accountability for incitement of violence — this is the line that we have to really explore through law as well," she added.
It's just more evidence that stupid liberals like AOC have ZERO understanding of the 1st Amendment, and are delighted when they see Democrats in government attempt to strip those God-given rights from anyone who disagrees with them!Beekeeper » 24 Apr 2023, 9:39 am » wrote: ↑ So, you LWNJs, COME TO HER DEFENSE and tell us WHY you think this is such a great idea!!

She ALSO has NO CLUE that Fox News isn't a "broadcast" station either!! "CABLE" type channels have FAR FEWER restrictions as to content. They are ONLY required to show a RATING for that content if it shows explicit or material sexual in nature.ROG62 » 24 Apr 2023, 10:13 am » wrote: ↑ Apparently she didn't get the memo that on cable news, almost anything goes....
