House told news pros mostly leftists

Censorship hearing targets gov't-media 'collusion'

A top Senate Republican sees most members of mainstream news organizations as leftists.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis, in testimony at a House hearing, said, “It is important to recognize corrupt individuals within federal agencies that I am talking about are not acting alone.”

These persons are "vital partners of the left-wing political movement, that includes most members of the mainstream media,” Johnson said before the hearing on de facto government censorship. Others pushing controls on political speech are “Big Tech, social media giants, global institutions and foundations, Democrat Party operatives and elected officials,”  added Johnson, a former head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

Johnson tied his allegations to the content of the recently released “Twitter files.”

“As the Twitter files reveal, these actors work in concert to defeat their political opponents and promote left-wing ideology and government control over our lives,” Johnson said in his remarks Thursday. “I have barely scratched the surface in describing the complexity, power and destructive nature of forces that we face.”
