As far as censorship from both sides, I will admit it happens. However, democrats have never once tried to censor media personalities because they were critics of the administration.
And that’s the difference.
When an administration targets media simply for criticizing the administration, that’s when we’re well on our way to an authoritarian regime.
That is not in the public interest.
What is in the public interest is stemming misinformation during a pandemic, limiting hate speech that incites violence, etc.
