    I’m sorry but I have no idea what you’re talking about. Can you point to an example where freedom of speech on the left has been restricted?

      Its a long story, but since the FCC got deregulated the public service requirement was removed. Corporations were allowed to buy up all the broadcast stations they wanted instead of being restricted, and radical fascist talk shows were put in rotation and all opposing opinions removed. It is exactly why we got the Tea Party, the MAGAts, and all the radically fascist Nazi uprising when trump showed up. If you want to know more, a podcast series from On The Media was made recently about it called “The Divided Dial”. It’s the first time I heard anyone else finally name this problem that I have been yelling about for many years now. This is 1930s Germany and 1990s Ruwanda broadcast warfare
