SCOTUS – Ever Green

On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear the case Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden), which could decide the fate of the federal government’s massive campaign to force social media companies into censoring Americans. “It’s the most important free speech case in the country,” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) tells Glenn. Sen. Schmitt, who filed the case while he was Attorney General of Missouri, describes the “Orwellian” things this lawsuit has uncovered: “The full power of the federal government was being used to silence Americans.” But will this be enough to stop our power-out-of-control government?

Tonight Katie Halper is joined by journalist Aaron Maté (https://twitter.com/aaronjmate) of The Grayzone (https://twitter.com/TheGrayzoneNews) and Pushback (https://twitter.com/PushbackShow) (https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate); along with author and Henry R. Luce Prof. of Jurisprudence and Prof. of History at Yale, Samuel Moyn.

Twitter & Facebook today decided to do as they always do when faced with a questionable situation: make everything much, much worse than it was to begin with. Both platforms censored users’ ability to share a “NY Post” article (https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/facebook-twitter-block-the-post-from-posting/), the “Post”‘s Twitter account was locked, and Ted Cruz even went so far as to call the paper a “reputable news outlet.”

Twitter claimed its actions were in line with their policy against disseminating information gained from “hacked materials.” Facebook also curbed the spread of the story, saying that the article would first be subject to review by independent fact-checkers. The GOP collectively lost its mind, and for once, they were the ones writing very strongly worded letters that were pointless.

The article said that Hunter Biden had “secret emails” (redundant) and that he had introduced a Ukrainian energy executive to Joe Biden in 2015. The Biden campaign initially said that they went and checked, and there was no such meeting on the VP’s schedule. No one cared about this until Twitter and Facebook decided to manufacture a Streisand Effect scenario and now here we are.
