Despite a Day One executive order titled “Restoring Free Speech and Ending Federal Censorship,” in order to win approval of the Skydance Merger with Paramount, Mad King Donald required the appointment of a government-sanctioned ‘truth arbiter’ at CBS to ensure that journalists there do not criticize his Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

Yet no doubt conservatives here will swing by to applaud this autocratic abuse of power in 3-2-1.

When faced with such an egregious breach of Constitutional rights, the right simply goes radio silent.

If they disagree with the policy, they may say something.

But if they agree with it, they’ll either remain silent or engage in a game of whataboutism.
