Unfettered, absolute free speech.\u201d Carlson urged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we cannot help but notice that some of free speech\u2019s greatest enemies are now posing as its defenders, all of a sudden.\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"ads within1\">\n<div class=\"desktop\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1518101613973-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"media_embed\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FleTQr4kX38\" name=\"fitvid0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And that\u2019s when the smackdown commenced, with Tucker providing examples of CNN\u2019s total hypocrisy when it comes to free speech.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTake CNN, for example. It was a CNN that almost single-handedly led the campaign to have broadcaster Alex Jones banished from the Internet, on the grounds that they didn\u2019t like what Jones had to say,\u201d Tucker continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, CNN succeeded in doing that. The network convinced every major tech platform to ban Jones and his outlet, Infowars. You don\u2019t have to like Alex Jones to see that as a terrifying loss for free speech, because it was exactly that. But CNN was not done trying to silence its critics.\u201d Carlson further explained.<\/p>\n<p>CNN is \u201cclaiming to defend free speech only when it is their free speech.\u201d Tucker declared, noting that CNN also didn\u2019t devote any airtime to even report on the US government forcing RT to register as a foreign agent under threat of imprisonment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tucker Carlson in Epic Takedown of CNN: One of &#8216;Free Speech\u2019s Greatest Enemies&#8217; (VIDEO) &#8216;And we cannot help but notice that some of free speech\u2019s greatest enemies are now posing as its defenders, all of a sudden.&#8217; Tucker Carlson delivered a stunning monologue Wednesday, slamming CNN for posing as a champion of free speech, after [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[145,2703,22890,10649,23041,14693,14907],"class_list":["post-40640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberty","tag-cnn","tag-free-speech","tag-jim-acosta","tag-russia-insider","tag-steve-watson","tag-tucker-carlson","tag-us-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40640"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40641,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40640\/revisions\/40641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
