But the scandal stuff is because there's no gatekeeping media any longer. And there's no cultural uniformity as there is in other Western Democracies.
Is that meant as a joke and it totally flew right over me? If that's not irony then that is a perfect example of selective tolerance. You see no gatekeeping, perhaps it happens to people you don't care for and of no consequences to you, but half the country sees nothing but gatekeeping. Unless you been living under a rock ... or in your case a Bostonian cobblestone ... how could you not recognize there is censorship from big tech? I'm not saying you should be in full blown panic mode but “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” ... or in this case the media.
