Althouse: This NYT headline displays an unabashed belief that censorship is desirable and expected, as if the tradition of freedom of speech has evaporated.
With dismay, I am reading "On Podcasts and Radio, Misleading Covid-19 Talk Goes Unchecked/False statements about vaccines have spread on the 'Wild West' of media, even as some hosts die of virus complications."
Talk goes unchecked!
Freedom of speech is an artifact of the "Wild West," not the foundation of our republic!
Well, the New York Times is free to print such things, misleading though they are. The NYT is trying to induce private companies to undertake censorship.
She says she’s reading it with dismay, but not with surprise. So, maybe she’s finally learning that it’s no longer a reputable news organization. Maybe.
