Kate Starbird, a “misinformation” researcher at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, believes that the mainstream media must take on a proactive role in censoring so-called misinformation throughout the 2024 presidential election.
She believes that there may end up being less censorship during the 2024 election cycle, as outlined by a piece in The Guardian.
She thinks that Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan’s committee reports on Big Tech’s collusion with the government to censor dissidents are buttressed by “outlandish claims.”
Starbird has built a reputation for documenting misinformation by having her team find so-called examples of misinformation throughout the 2020 presidential election cycle.
Similarly, during a recent episode of “Face The Nation,” CBS’s Senior Business and Technology Correspondent Jo-Ling Kent lashed out against the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, for letting free speech thrive. Kent complained about the limits imposed on censorship that are the result of “arguments and protections of free speech.”
