Howard Kurtz Blasts AOC Push for Congress to ‘Rein In’ Media

So it seems that ░░░░░░░░ Alexandria akca Cortez and ░░░░░░░░ fellow progressives have a ░░░░░░░░ goal silence the press ░░░░░░░░ squad member says Congress ░░░░░░░░ form a commission to ░░░░░░░░ in the media there ░░░░░░░░ absolutely a commission that ░░░░░░░░ being discussed several members ░░░░░░░░ Congress and some of ░░░░░░░░ discussions have brought up ░░░░░░░░ literacy because that is ░░░░░░░░ part of what happened ░░░░░░░░ We re going to ░░░░░░░░ to figure out how ░░░░░░░░ rein in our media ░░░░░░░░ So that you can ░░░░░░░░ just spew disinformation and ░░░░░░░░ let s let s ░░░░░░░░ in Howie Kurtz and ░░░░░░░░ one thing occurs to ░░░░░░░░ you know about 70 ░░░░░░░░ people get their news ░░░░░░░░ social media and you ░░░░░░░░ that from all sorts ░░░░░░░░ different ways It s ░░░░░░░░ to me if she ░░░░░░░░ talking what media she ░░░░░░░░ talking about but it ░░░░░░░░ never a good idea ░░░░░░░░ the government to talk ░░░░░░░░ reigning in the media ░░░░░░░░ I don t like ░░░░░░░░ hear any politician use ░░░░░░░░ kind of language that ░░░░░░░░ not a role for ░░░░░░░░ There s a reason ░░░░░░░░ press is covered by ░░░░░░░░ very First Amendment now ░░░░░░░░ s fine for a ░░░░░░░░ of Congress to blast ░░░░░░░░ media President Trump has ░░░░░░░░ known to do that ░░░░░░░░ And again but I ░░░░░░░░ t want some federal ░░░░░░░░ deciding what is false ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ false information floating around ░░░░░░░░ now especially in the ░░░░░░░░ of the Insurrection and ░░░░░░░░ but the way to ░░░░░░░░ that is with reporting ░░░░░░░░ documents the facts and ░░░░░░░░ I think anything else ░░░░░░░░ be a dangerous or ░░░░░░░░ road for the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ pursue isn t it ░░░░░░░░ Howie that I do ░░░░░░░░ it s true that ░░░░░░░░ left leaning people liberals ░░░░░░░░ imagine Hillary Clinton they ░░░░░░░░ that they get a ░░░░░░░░ deal from the press ░░░░░░░░ that conservatives think that ░░░░░░░░ media is biased against ░░░░░░░░ as well but it ░░░░░░░░ interesting to me that ░░░░░░░░ also have that perspective ░░░░░░░░ I mean Bill Clinton ░░░░░░░░ to rail against the ░░░░░░░░ wing knee jerk press ░░░░░░░░ so nobody likes being ░░░░░░░░ especially when you occupy ░░░░░░░░ White House and your ░░░░░░░░ of so much scrutiny ░░░░░░░░ s keep in mind ░░░░░░░░ alexandrea cosio Cortez there ░░░░░░░░ no legislation being drawn ░░░░░░░░ here she s talking ░░░░░░░░ discussions and for all ░░░░░░░░ social media fame she ░░░░░░░░ still a backbencher and ░░░░░░░░ s also remember Dana ░░░░░░░░ passions are running high ░░░░░░░░ that same Instagram video ░░░░░░░░ you just showed she ░░░░░░░░ about how she thought ░░░░░░░░ was going to during ░░░░░░░░ Capitol siege so she ░░░░░░░░ a very close call ░░░░░░░░ I m willing to ░░░░░░░░ him some slack I ░░░░░░░░ she s necessarily thought ░░░░░░░░ all the implications that ░░░░░░░░ being suggested here Yeah ░░░░░░░░ know and I do ░░░░░░░░ that when you talk ░░░░░░░░ social media versus traditional ░░░░░░░░ look it s all ░░░░░░░░ of melded together We ░░░░░░░░ seen what s happened ░░░░░░░░ Big Tech but she ░░░░░░░░ something about media literacy ░░░░░░░░ I think you know ░░░░░░░░ is something to that ░░░░░░░░ it comes to not ░░░░░░░░ media literacy but even ░░░░░░░░ education across the country ░░░░░░░░ m all for people ░░░░░░░░ more about to be ░░░░░░░░ media consumers to separate ░░░░░░░░ from opinion even on ░░░░░░░░ news organization look you ░░░░░░░░ off the program talking ░░░░░░░░ Snapchat joining Twitter and ░░░░░░░░ banning President Trump the ░░░░░░░░ Congress can and does ░░░░░░░░ into misinformation disinformation in ░░░░░░░░ like Twitter and Facebook ░░░░░░░░ because they enjoy that ░░░░░░░░ immunity that you discussed ░░░░░░░░ President Trump and others ░░░░░░░░ to strip so there ░░░░░░░░ a role for government ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ the mainstream media do ░░░░░░░░ of course there have ░░░░░░░░ subjected to plenty of ░░░░░░░░ about bias and hype ░░░░░░░░ sensationalism and and also ░░░░░░░░ allegations that may not ░░░░░░░░ fully verified I m ░░░░░░░░ for the criticism I ░░░░░░░░ we should criticize ourselves ░░░░░░░░ I don t see ░░░░░░░░ role for government and ░░░░░░░░ hope that the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ they are running the ░░░░░░░░ are wise enough to ░░░░░░░░ that even though it ░░░░░░░░ they don t like ░░░░░░░░ criticized it s natural ░░░░░░░░ nature government regulation is ░░░░░░░░ the answer freedom of ░░░░░░░░ press is in the ░░░░░░░░ Amendment it s in ░░░░░░░░ first for a reason ░░░░░░░░ you Howie great to ░░░░░░░░ you.
