‘Merely elevating truthful content is not nearly enough to change our current course’
The far-left Aspen Institute, where the board of trustees includes far-left personalities such as Jane Harman, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Arne Duncan, Michael D. Eisner and Katie Couric, has decided that there’s a solution to all of the disputes over speech in America today.
Ivermectin vs. ventilators? Solved. Vote fraud vs. perfect election? Solved. Grade school indoctrination vs. grade school lessons? Solved. Racism vs. reality? Solved.
The United States for centuries has diluted bad speech with more good speech. But now activists and even government officials are demanding censorship of speech, for example, that challenges their narrative about a perfect presidential election in 2020, or their opinion that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are bad for COVID-19 patients.
The institute created a 16-person Commission on Information Disorder, incidentally led by Couric who has her own struggles with truth after admitting she edited the late Justice Ruth Ginsburg to remove controversial comments, and joined by Prince Harry, who has confirmed he believes free speech is “bonkers,” to offer a solution.
