Free speech

Trump on Thursday...

"I have read some place that the networks were 97% against me, again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily [in last year's election]," the president said.

"They give me only bad publicity [and] press. I mean, they're getting a licence. I would think maybe their licence should be taken away."

Don't you think there is an agenda when he Trump did win convincingly, yet mainstream media mainly were and are extremely negative towards him.

He was even banned from social media for a very large portion of his comeback period.

Only when Elon Musk broke the dam on social media did things change

The short answer is "No".

Trump and his backers were clever in that they understood the growing importance of social media, where facts are less important than the ability to spout populist slogans that don't require people to think.

MSM is at a disadvantage in that it doesn't give you answers without having to think beyond a gif or a twitter post. As you are a prime example of.

"Speaking after her release, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch compared Connolly's treatment to that of those who took part in riots following the Southport attack.
"Her punishment was harsher than the sentences handed down for bricks thrown at police or actual rioting," Badenoch said on X.
"Protecting people from words should not be given greater weight in law than public safety. If the law does this, then the law itself is broken and it's time Parliament looked again at the Public Order Act."

In 2020 the then DPP stated:

Max Hill QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said: “All crime has a terrible impact on victims but hate crime is especially nasty because it targets people for who they are. It has no place in today’s Britain.

“I support the excellent work done during National Hate Crime Awareness Week and all year round and encourage anyone who has been a victim or witnessed a hate crime to report it to the police.

“As prosecutors we will take cases to court and apply for higher sentences to take account of the hostility that drove offenders. It won’t undo the harm done but victims can be reassured that the justice system is working as it should.”

Lucy Connolly pled guilty to hate crime. She was sentenced accordingly. She made her bed. She lay in it. If she did not believe that she was inciting racial hatred she had every right to plead not guilty.
