There are concerns that the political left in North American is trying to shout down any conservative views they don’t agree with.
In this video, CBN News looks at the political left’s efforts to stop free speech and punish conservative values in Europe. The goal is to intimidate any who disagree with their extremist views.

A few months ago, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission floated a scheme that would see government regulators … err researchers in news rooms around America. They would effectively monitor what news stories, reporters were working on.
But why is this even necessary? All they need to do is read newspapers or watch news programing to find out what the various media were working on and why would that even be necessary in a free country? Fortunately, that plan was shouted down.

Since even liberals are denouncing this bill, it seems there is little chance of it passing.
But it should concern us that these ideas are even being considered in a democratic society.
