IDIOCRACY WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A HOW-TO GUIDE: The dumbest five minutes of Congress, ever: Dems demand sources from journalists who exposed government-media censorship complex.
Get ready for seven minutes of brain-warping idiocy on those points, on top of which Democrats apparently now think journalists have a duty to reveal sources to government. And if you think Garcia’s lack of research into Substack is the stupidest moment in this utter fiasco, just wait until she asks about Bari Weiss:
The winner of the stupidest congressional comment of the day, and hopefully the year, the decade, and the century, is this: “So you’re in this as a threesome?”
YGBFKM.
This is five-plus minutes of total non-sequiturs, bizarre demands for one-word answers when witnesses were willing to give full answers, and a smear campaign to paint Taibbi and Shellenberger as paid campaign activists. At no point in this does it appear that Garcia has the slightest comprehension of the subject matter, nor of the work that either of the witnesses do or have done. Or indeed even the work that they did in exposing the government attempts to suppress and censor dissent and debate, the evidence of which they exposed from Twitter’s communication files.
Weis is pretty gracious about Garcia’s unpreparedness and general cluelessness:
I am dead. Couldn’t get to D.C., but nothing but love for @ShellenbergerMD and @mtaibbi who do a heroic job of not completely breaking down here. https://t.co/Wpp41oiweX

As John Nolte likes to say, “Democrats sure got it good.” If the parties were reversed this material would lead every network’s 6:30 newscast.
UPDATE:
Directing revenue to certain companies and denying revenue to companies the government doesn't like.
And the media is silent — probably because they're being paid. Disgusting fascists. https://t.co/S5RPaljnEJ
