As we watch the nation’s media industry wailing that the Associated Press has been excluded from Oval Office pressers and can no longer log frequent flyer miles on Air Force One, the claims of First Amendment violations fall flat. But as has been exposed, this is all performative hysterics from the press. For instance, we heard no such reaction when Joe Biden banned the New York Post in identical fashion.
Meanwhile, we are hearing very little about a case of unacceptable censorship taking place in Mississippi – right now.
In the city of Clarksdale, the local newspaper, the Press Register, has been ordered by a judge to take down an editorial that ran on February 18. As bad as this already sounds, the offensiveness spikes when you see the filing was sought and obtained by the local government.
Wow: The City of Clarksdale, Mississippi, got a court order…
