“Lol why would the governmentprevent censorship?”
In The US, The Constitution explicitly entrusts the government to uphold our civil liberties, free speech included. THAT’S why it’s incumbent upon us citizens to hold our civic leaders accountable for doing so
Yeah, they’re role is ostensibly in preventing most forms of censorship, and championing the notion that the way to curb shitty speech is with more speech. NOT by silencing things which run contrary to our sacred cows and favorite icons
Jon Stewart was on the air prior to Bush II’s election, and throughout his reign. This didn’t prevent B II from getting re-elected, and he remained a highly popular president until his final year in office. Our lionization of entertainers is nothing short of bizarre
“Nah, this is what happens when we put corporations in charge of censorship”
Corporate America and Uncle Sam are already hand in glove on this front https://www.rstreet.org/commentary/podcast-censorship-is-a-big-government-problem-not-a-big-tech-problem/

The rest are of them very mild… Don’t spend more than a minute sweating one of the most formidable war machines on Earth obstructing you and family’s access to rudimentary first aid. Just throw a kerchief around that hemorrhaging stump where your 3 year old’s left leg used to be, and enjoy the lovely Mediterranean spring weather
So the government is made up of human beings, who often don’t quite mean what they say, and have ulterior motives. That’s more shocking than learning that Robert Kardashian wasn’t especially active in the lives of his daughters

This is the same Stewart who pulls shit like this https://thegrayzone.com/2022/08/31/jon-stewart-pentagon-ukrainian-nazi-disney/ , all while posing as a Progressive ally for the cameras. We mistake singularly witless “comedians” like this as forces to be reckoned with at our own peril
