Where do dissidents go?

I'm not really surprised as Carlson has grated against the ideology of The Fox narrative for sometime now.
I need a place to rant..
Submitted by Mickt on Mon, 04/24/2023 - 11:52pmI quite watching TV news in 2002 in the lead up to the Iraq war.
I did not realize how bad TV news was until I accidently saw a link to a 60 Minutes episode discussing the effects of the earthquake on northwest Syria. I knew beforehand it was going to be a propaganda hit piece, but I didn't know how bad.
Some background before you view the piece:
This could turn into a rant, but I'll risk it

If you get the whole program it's pretty much what I want ) talking all anti war. It seems that Ukraine has started their "spring offensive" - by shelling civilians.
Vote Biden because... okay, where were we?

Is it 1984?
TPTB are now prosecuting wrong thought and "unacceptable" speech. Four members of the Africa Socialist Party have been indicted for spreading Russian propaganda...in other words, they are speaking out against the Ukraine proxy war. What about the first amendment? Tucker did a short piece (4 min) about it. Aaron and Katie interview a member of the party.
Then there's the guy who has been convicted with a prison term for posting an anti-Hillary meme. That's why I suggest we've arrived in 1984.
The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia). Oceania is governed by the all-controlling Party, which has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The Party has created a propagandistic language known as Newspeak, which is designed to limit free thought and promote the Party’s doctrines. Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” The Party maintains control through the Thought Police and continual surveillance.
