Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for a commission on the media to ensure disinformation and misinformation does not spread widely. These calls were made on an Instagram livestream she hosted on her Instagram account. Joe Concha From Fox News gave his hot take, more from The Daily Caller:
Fox News contributor Joe Concha broke down Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Tuesday comments about wanting to “rein in our media environment” and expressed shock at how much of media ignored the statements.
Ocasio-Cortez said that Congress is discussing “a commission” and declared that they will “have to figure out how we rein in our media environment” to prevent “disinformation and misinformation” during an Instagram stream Tuesday.
Fox News’ Steve Doocy wondered “who would decide what media gets reined in” Thursday morning and Concha said that the likely options are various Democrats who “have some challenges when it comes to telling the truth.” (RELATED: ‘We Have A List’: Pundits And Democrats Plan To Hold Trump Supporters Accountable)
Tucker Carlson also gave his take on these calls for policing the media:
The idea alone is concerning for many as this is reminiscent of communist style control over the spread of all information. These comments come off of the back of major censorship from Big Tech on all information outside official channels related to the storming of the capitol.
That was predictable. Controlling the media is one of the steps outlined by the communists in their quest to overthrow and take control an opposing government.
AOC=POS
One simple way to rein in the media would be to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, thereby opening up media to libel lawsuits. It’d be great if the RICO statutes could then be applied. They could al;so alter the libel and slander laws making it easier for people in the public limelight to sue.
But that’s not what AOC and her tyrannical cohorts want. They want to be able to censor media outlets, especially conservative ones, that dare to contradict state politically correct propaganda. They want the equivalent of the USSR General Directorate for the Protection of State Secrets in the Press (Glavlit). Likely they’ll try to pass such restrictions in the name of National Security. So much for the First Amendment.
It does not bother me at all that the lamestream fake propaganda establishment ignored some outrageous comment by AOC. I routinely ignore all of her comments. Consider the source.

Hard to feel sorry for the young generation of Amerikans…. they are going to get what they deserve.
The problem is, we get it too….
