Jack,

Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, promised on day one: “We must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans.”

Free speech? Tell that to Jimmy Kimmel—silenced after mocking Trump’s movement.

Tell that to NPR and PBS—gutted by Trump for reporting the unbiased truth.

Tell that to CBS—being handed to billionaire Larry Ellison and arch-conservative Bari Weiss, turning a historic newsroom into another MAGA propaganda arm.

This is how fascism works: they don’t restore free speech, they destroy it. They silence critics, buy off corporations, and make sure only state-approved voices remain.
