Censorship within Conservative Grassroots

How do Conservative Journalists survive censorship and cancel culture within the conservative movement? I ask Gail Griswold, Local Control, and Gretchen Garrity, Right2WinOzarks. We also laugh a lot.

Conservatives desire local journalists who will tell local stories. They need us to speak for them. Yet, because of the lack of journalism for so long, when we speak the truth, they circle the wagons and begin to exclude people for daring to speak out.

Is this what Conservatives should do? Kill Free Speech and Freedom of the Press? Do they only give lip service to these ideals? Do they understand that Conservative values mean accepting a debate of ideas—even if it is a vigorous debate?

It can feel as a journalist that neither political party wants us to be truth-tellers, but it is a disappointment that the party that says they believe in the 1st Amendment doesn’t mean it when it’s applied to them.
