Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #viewpointdiscrimination, aggregated by home.social.

  1. US District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington ruled that the #Trump executive order to cease funding for #NPR & #PBS is unlawful & unenforceable. The judge said the #FirstAmendment right to #FreeSpeech “does not tolerate #ViewpointDiscrimination & #retaliation of this type.”

    “It is difficult to conceive of clearer evidence that a government action is targeted at viewpoints that the President does not like & seeks to squelch,” wrote Moss.

  2. #Bezos said on Wed he would mandate the paper’s #opinions section to focus on supporting #FreeMarkets & #PersonalLiberties, saying those pieces w/opposing views can “be left to be published by others.”

    The move was rebuked by current & former #WashingtonPost staffers, though it was praised in a trolling post by #Trump’s WH.
