Fear Factor
What is Joe Biden so afraid of? Why is Dr. Peter Hotez, the face of the Covid establishment, also running from a debate with Robert Kennedy Jr.? Sadly, the Democratic Party has become a bastion of endless war, neocon-think and, yes, censorship.
Joe Rogan, the popular host who himself has been the target of liberal censorship, offered Hotez (a frequent guest on his show) $100,000, to be donated to the charity of the good doctor's choice. Elon Musk upped the Hotez offer to $1 million. As of this writing, Hotez is still dodging the debate, with the liberal media urging him to stay mum.
While the liberal media loudly cheer Hotez's decision to duck a debate with RFK Jr. about Covid policy, Glenn Greenwald rightly asks why these "journalists" have tried to shut up Kennedy and shut down vital discussions in this country.
This is what Greenwald had to say today on Rumble about RFK Jr.'s liberal censors:
"One would think that a debate between a highly informed environmental lawyer who spent decades suing corporate polluters and health agencies — RFK Jr. — and one of the most influential and beloved COVID preachers in liberal media, Professor Hotez, M.D., Ph.D., would be of great value for the country. It would be. Yet immediately people who call themselves journalists – those who should most seek debate on the most consequential policy debates – instead intervened and began demanding that Hotez not lower himself to debating RFK. They published articles and cable monologues on why Hotez should not put himself in a position where his views would face critical scrutiny and accountability, even though those views have long been intended to influence American public opinion and foreign policy.
"Watching journalists try to stop debates is like watching them become the leading advocates for censorship, which, in turn, is like watching a cardiologist extol the virtues of cigarette smoking. It is completely contrary to the values that are supposed to define journalism. Yet it is as unsurprising as it is repugnant to watch these employees of media corporations do exactly that."
Amen. Shame on the liberal censors. Shame on those who call themselves "journalists."
