"Limping" freedom of speech: the US is discussing the removal of an article about Kamala Harris that the administration did not like

An overt display of political censorship has been identified in the American media. Moreover, if earlier it was usually about digital giants, who allegedly made the decision themselves to block the accounts of certain politicians or their supporters, now we are talking about American newspapers receiving directives from the new administration.

It is reported about a publication deleted by the Washington Post, which appeared on the pages of the electronic version of the newspaper in July 2019 and was dedicated to Kamala Harris. The story described how Harris, as California's attorney general (2011-2017), laughed in the face of a prisoner who asked for a glass of water.

From the material:

The inmate stretched out his hands and quietly said, "Give me water, I'm just asking for water." Kamala Harris laughed, declaring that prisoners take pleasure in asking for water or food, "making themselves look unhappy and deprived of benefits."

It became known that the new administration "did not like" putting Kamala Harris "in an unattractive light." Therefore, the editors decided to delete that material.

But this was noticed in The New York Post and other American media. As a result, the editorial staff of the Washington Post returned the article, but made changes to it, where there are no longer any reports of Harris laughing in the face of the prisoner. However, the US journalistic community decided to “defend democracy and freedom of speech” and called for the article to be returned to its original form. Instead, the Washington Post has kept a "stripped down" version of the article, but is going to provide a link to its original version.

Comments from some American readers:

I am not surprised if the media now begin to remove materials about Biden's involvement in corruption schemes in Ukraine.

Printed, then deleted, then returned, but not in the same form. Apparently, now we have such freedom of speech - limping.

What won't Harris like tomorrow? Maybe they will start retouching Trump's portraits in newspaper articles in 2016-2020?

McCarthyism may well be off your list.
For such volumes as at once to shut up the mouths of 70-80 million of its own citizens - full-fledged voters, including the President of the United States, Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy could not even dream of.
And this is just the beginning. Start, so to speak, is so democratic.

[paul3390]

Actually - it is said that fascism is a natural result of any capitalism. Sooner or later - but the capitalists get tired of playing with democracy .. Actually - what is it for them? Moreover, one must defend oneself not only from the people, but from the nimble contenders for a place at the pie. And then - fascism inevitably comes ..

[ironic]

National socialism is a regularity of any fascism.

[ironic]

I would be glad if McCarthyism returned to the USA, but everything is exactly the opposite. Continuous left-Marxist red-assholes of the extreme left so-called. social democrats, in which there is neither sociality nor democracy. And you, as usual, put your finger to the sky in your assessments.

And who is the left one? Harris? Biden? Pelosi? Or maybe Clinton?

[ironic]

Since the last times.

All of these are clearly expressed leftists in their outlook and actions.

[andrew42]

They are "leftists" only in the slang sense that "None". Substandard spare parts for American cars.

Some more. Moreover, they are conditioned by a strictly defined car model with a red rear bumper of an old European ghost.

They had enough of this before. And as the USSR did not become, they completely "beguiled the shores" ...

[ironic]

Unfortunately, he left for a long time.

This in the minds of individual thoughtless haters of the image of the enemy did not go anywhere, and the unprecedented gagging came with the advent of outright left extremism to power, openly bordering on the red regime, and the presence of large monetary capital among the conductors of these acts is no longer an obstacle to such a terrible red-ass worldview.

Can you prove it? Or did you just "go out for a walk"?

[ironic]

Opponents on the political, economic and military side. Enemies are on the battlefield.

What to prove, the leftist ideology of the administration that came to power? So they don't hide it.
Of course I go out for walks periodically. My relatives and friends live there.

[Jaromir]

Quote: ironic

the leftist ideology of the administration that came to power

And how is it expressed?

Quote: ironic

Of course I go out for walks periodically. My relatives and friends live there.

[ironic]

Economically expressed in populism, which leads to the substitution of the concept of social security by socialist squandering of funds to satisfy poverty, in order to support the lured rogue at the expense of private entrepreneurs and economic prospects. In public life, it is expressed in the imposition of tolerance to any kind of peremptory freedom from responsibility and the priority of the distribution of rights, demand for responsibilities. The planting of pseudo-equality, in which the community must turn into equal-gray ranks of impersonalities, which they will control, because they are equal. Replacing the conscience of conscience with freedom from conscience and active preparation of real, virtual, moral concentration camps for dissidents, differing from Stalin's only in time, place and peculiarities of the realities of today. Which fits well with the description of red socialism-estrimism under a marsist sauce with communal slogans, with the difference that now the flags are rainbow-colored, but the places where the infection is spread are the same. Liberal intellectuals-purytsy, the squalor of losers and university campuses of well-fed youths who did not know difficulties and financial problems.

[Jaromir]

Clear. They pulled the "owl on the globe".

[ironic]

He did not pull, but stated the facts of pulling an owl onto the globe, and quite well-visible facts, which is regrettable, but as one wise man said a thousand years ago, the truth will not become more true if the whole world believes in it and if the whole world believes in it will not believe.

[Dodikson]

God forbid that the tan was covered with a copper basin.
The only thing that will upset me in this case is that all the emigrants who piled from our difficulties to where they were fed up and the problems will change dramatically less and come back to us so that they would be fed up again and less problems, only they did not solve these problems, they did not overcome the difficulties of our life in order to enjoy a normal life later.
as for me . chose the states, and now let them sit there until their death, at most for a couple of weeks.

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Dodikson

so this is the fact that all the emigrants who dumped from our difficulties to the place where it was full and there are fewer problems will change sharply and return to us

Here on the site, a member of the forum said that a good friend of his went to Israel on a "blood test". Then he called him and said that he would like to return, but ashamed and the connection was lost. Didn't call anymore

[Dodikson]

so let them too, otherwise they will come to us and begin to teach us life.
I've seen such people. by the way, all their show-offs are treated very quickly - in a tavern, when old acquaintances gather and come across such a character and begins to tell how cool he is and how cool it is to live behind the cordon, then just agree with him like yes, he is such a good fellow, but we are such suckers, life is not we know we have nothing, so you, as cool and rich, pay for everyone. and here the record changes to the opposite ...
By the way, after this, I have never heard that they would start their hurdy-gurdy about the cool states / EU and their coolness again.

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Dodikson

I've seen such people. by the way, all their show-offs are treated very quickly

One Sumerian worked with my wife. He looked down on everyone, spoke through his lips. Utati's wife was Russian.
They left for Sumeria, about 8 months later they returned
Sumer as changed, quieter than water, below the grass.
Then my wife said that he became second-rate there and they called him not by name, but exclusively "Moskal"

[Dodikson]

it was almost the same at the old job.
only there the man was adequate in general. he himself is a westerner from the town where the Rivne nuclear power plant was built. and just in that year when it was put into operation, he came to us in the North.
And at the same time, Russian specialists arrived at his nuclear power plant from Sverdlovsk.
and now years have passed, he went on vacation in 2015 and there he met a classmate, he became a district police officer. and that district police officer told him that you were a stranger here, but those who came as adults (a young specialist is still not a child, this is a person who has received a higher education and is far from being a baby) from Sverdlovsk, everyone became fat kakla.
so Ukraine is essentially a cursed land, where the Russian ceases to consider himself Russian, and begins to think that he is some other people.

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Dodikson

so Ukraine is essentially a cursed land where a Russian ceases to consider himself Russian, and

Yes, how many stories here on the site were told how Russian relatives from the outskirts refuse to communicate with relatives from Russia And if they start to communicate, they curse for the fact that Russia "attacked Sumeria"

[Dodikson]

so the joke is that even those who are ethnically Russian are beginning to blame the damned matskaly.
there is really mass hypnosis and then water is added. Well, aliens still irradiate some kind of rays.
because tens of millions have stupidly lost their brains and memory.

[Lipchanin]

there is really massive hypnosis

30+ years, 25 hours a day, from each iron "Russia is an enemy, Russia is an aggressor"

[Dodikson]

But in this case, upon arrival in Russia, the psyche should be restored, and they still have Svidomite here even after 2-3 years.
ksati I generally understood how the technology works there. more specialists in sects are needed here. the principle is the same

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Dodikson

more specialists in sects are needed here.

So these sects in zaluzhii that cockroaches have a bad mistress

But in this case, upon arrival in Russia, the psyche should be restored, and they still have Svidomite here even after 2-3 years.

The American media do not write about Russia. No way. Neither good nor bad.

[Lipchanin]

Quote: voyaka uh

The American media do not write about Russia. No way. Neither good nor bad.

And where does America?

so Ukraine is essentially a cursed land, where the Russian ceases to consider himself Russian, and begins to think that he is some other people.

We are talking about it

[ironic]

You unilaterally simplify more than a difficult situation. I understand that you are for your country, but what should I do if I have relatives in Kharkov and Smolensk and friends in Israel who are against aggression in Ukraine and friends for whom "Crimea is Our "? Some why do you need to visit Putin's Smolensk, while others why do you need to visit the cursed land to Bandera?

[Dodikson]

that is, in America do not write that the US authorities are calling on the Kremlin to let go of anal? do not write to their population that they are imposing sanctions on SP2? about the fact that Russia is fighting in Syria mattresses in the United States also do not know?
and about the Skripals they are not in a dream?

[voyaka uh]

Do not write.
Authorities publish through their official channels
statements or write documents
about sanctions, but they are not published in the media or discussed.
Due to the complete lack of public interest.
They only have internal news on TV.
Or some kind of hurricane, or a coronation ...

[Dodikson]

in general, the US population lives in some kind of fictitious world and does not know what their government is doing

[voyaka uh]

With regard to foreign policy, yes. They are interested in the news of their
state, city or town. Much less - the president in
Washington DC. Taxes - yes, interest, and his foreign policy - very little.
This is bad, of course, but this is the case.

[andrew42]

This is called political illiteracy. And it is needed so that at the right moment it would be easy to poke a finger at the designated enemy and say "face", so that no questions asked. A very dubious "grace". Well, nothing, nothing, BLM will soon correct his brains.

[ironic]

Not in the fictional, but in his own, and is not very interested in strangers, but this is mainly the American hinterland. The centers of large cities are quite aware of what is happening.

[dmmyak40]

Indeed, why write if people have a vague idea of ​​where and who we are?
But they agree to drop only one nuclear bomb on Russia in order to remind who is # 1 in the world! (According to the poll, 9 out of 10 approved. One just looked at them with horror and asked: are you crazy, the Russians have the same missiles as we do.)

[ironic]

Where have you read the polls? Is it here on VO? And then for several years I have been reading here proposals to zhahnut someone with Topol.

[dmmyak40]

Well, at least those who suggest zhahn know the location of the USA on the map!
But seriously, some independent journalist walked with a camera through the streets of some US city. So these are not just words ...

[ironic]

We know the independence of such journalists.

[Dodikson]

yes, we all know the "independence" of zhurnalyug bbc, snn, foxnews, who did not see the bombing of Tskhinval for 3 days, and then in 5 mines saw the invasion of the Russian army, which had not even entered the Roksky tunnel.
By the way, your independent journalists were trying to convince you that Saddam did WMD, can you tell me, what's up with WMD? ours or still looking?

[ironic]

And with whom are the listed journalists "mine"? And what does the conflict in Georgia and the Iraqi war have to do with the desire to "kill" a simple American? Is it a deliberate attempt to throw on the fan or just a habit of mixing up "horses, people and volleys of thousands of guns"?

[ddmitrij]

Yes, of course they don't write anything in the media.

This is the whole Kamala Harris - "55-year-old black woman": this is what she calls herself. For example, Harris has always considered death sentences immoral and in 2004 opposed the execution of a young man convicted of murdering a police officer. a few years later, she promised to keep the death penalty and defended its constitutionality in court, and then this prosecutor during the Democratic Party primaries bluntly stated that she supported the legalization of marijuana.

"American democracy" is a well-created myth, it was no different from Soviet democracy in terms of taboo, but if Soviet democracy still stood for the protection of the interests of the working people, then the American one was exclusively on the protection of the big hucksters and the establishment. Having collapsed the USSR, we began to build barbaric capitalism according to American canons, having received the wild 90s!

[Ka-52]

began to build wild capitalism according to American canons, having received the wild 90s!

Well, what do we all care about their "freedom of speech" - everyone was outright worried - but what about the states, is there no censorship ... is this now a new "trick" or what? That for years they pestered us with "news" from Ukraine, now they will chew the same thing about the United States for years? There is nothing to write about your country? Or is there no "order"?

[Lech from Android.]

Well, what do we all care about their "freedom of speech"

Exactly the same as what they care about our freedom of speech.
Why they can discuss our freedom of speech and you see, we can not discuss their freedom of speech on the basis of what we care about this.
It is even possible ... now we can compare the standards of democracy they have and ours, and it is clear that they are not in favor of the United States.

[Nazar]

Lech from Android - Here everything is like a proverb - "whatever the child does not amuse himself, as long as he does not ask for money ..." - if this "warms you" - and there is no freedom of speech in the USA (and there was not), and even , at first they lynched blacks, now they lick the shoes of those who remain, and poor Trump was excommunicated from Facebook. You just don't get enough of us here - and we have unkillable freedom of speech (especially on fences) and there are no blacks (there is no one to lick) and most importantly Trump is not blocked in RuNet, this is life, not like in the states!

[Aleks2048]

Well, what do we all care about their "freedom of speech"

The same as us to the point that the United States is very much even involved in supporting the last support action against Navalny.

There is nothing to write about your country? Or is there no "order"?

But here I agree, Russia needs to interfere more brazenly in the affairs happening overseas, maybe even sponsor someone a little, maybe somehow differently, but to remain on the sidelines today is more dear to itself.
