Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the importance of paying attention to the definition of words (as stated in established dictionaries), the importance of how things are said (meaning the context and tone in which they are said), and what possible political motivations could be behind what is actually being said (such as desires for personal wealth at the expense of the American People or quests for absolute power over The American People).
Cumulus Media, which owns 416 radio stations and is headquartered an Atlanta, GA, hosts many well-known conservative talk show personalities, including Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Dan Bongino. It has sent out a memo to all of its talk show hosts essentially warning them to “tone down” discussions about the election. The memo was clear that not complying with Cumulus Media’s demands could result in their shows being dropped from their radio broadcast platforms. What if other businesses do something similar to Conservatives?
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, talks about how people have become so intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them, to the point it is affecting friendships and families. The media has been feeding this deception of truth until viewers and listeners have reached a “boiling over” point.
It took just 48 hours for Amazon, Google, and Apple to destroy one of its growing competitors, Parler. The problem is not that these are considered “private companies” (even though they are bought and sold on the public stock market). The problem is they were using monopolistic power to destroy competition. Furthermore, the “justifications” given by Amazon, Google, and Apple for banning Parler are happening and being ignored for Twitter.
This is corporate totalitarianism, which is the reason Federal Anti-Trust Laws were passed (the Sherman Act in 1890, and Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC), and the Clayton Act in 1914).
On January 11, 1989, President Ronald Reagan gave his Farewell Address to the Nation just before leaving office. In that speech, he talked about how our Nation did not seem to be doing a good enough job of teaching American History, American Values, and American Pride to our students of the day. As we now know since those children are now our voting adults, he was correct. We still need to be doing a better job of teaching concepts so critical to our Nation going forward today.
