Is the Freedom of Speech on the Ballot?
from The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer · host Government Accountability Institute
Doesn’t the Department of Homeland Security have better things to do than police lies posted by users of Twitter? After 9/11, DHS was created to better coordinate America’s defenses against terrorist attacks on the homeland – to promote cooperation among law enforcement agencies and fill in the gaps in domestic security. Yet, today as those threats have receded, the department is in search of a new mission. It has gotten into the business of being “speech police.” On the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers take a look at the Biden administration’s efforts to clamp down on speech they call either “misinformation,” or “disinformation,” or even “malinformation.”
