To date, conservatives have demonstrated absolutely no evidence of bias against conservative ideologies.
In other words: conservatives benefit from the myth that theres a conservative bias against them.
And furthermore, none of that has anything to do with Free Speech.
Weve all seen theXKDC comicabout Free Speech at this point.
But what if that werent the case?
What if we could 100% call the conservatives bluff?
What if Facebook were forced to follow the First Amendment?
To the best of my knowledge, theres no evidence to support any of the above conspiracy theories.
However, there are also no laws forcing Fox News to host Tucker Carlson.
So we can infer whatever we want from its choice to continue doing so.
And, thankfully, theres no law forcing anyone to host Alex Jones.
Freedom
Companies in the US are free to set their own standards when it comes to speech.
Its up to us, as citizens and business owners, to decide what is and isnt appropriate.
Currently, the First Amendment guarantees that the government wont make those decisions for us.
What former US president Donald Trump and his conservative supporters are asking for is an end to that protection.
