The First Amendment is a Constitutional unicorn.
It is unique in human history because politicians love censorship of opposing views. But repression of discomforting thoughts is only basic to human nature, which is why it is a miracle that Madison ever added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Since that day our politicians on both sides have done everything they can to test the limits of free speech. When I was young it was the right. More recently it has been the left. But the pendulum swings both ways.

NPR and PBS exist due to equal time principles. If the left had its way, there would be none.
To your point, it's a pendulum.
Stone is a Conservative pundit…the proof is in her mentioning calls for the firing of Tucker Carlson
but not mentioning the documented evidence of him admitting that FOX’s Stock Price would drop if they told the truth.
What you’re posting ican be boiled down to a single word…”Bias”…if not ”Misinformation” on the part of Ms. Sasha Stone.
Try being a bit more “Objective” in your search for substantive backup.
Tucker's "firing" was only the tip of the "progressive" censorship reign of terror in recent years.
But the whole point is that EVERYBODY DOES THIS.
I suppose one could cherry pick examples of right wing censorship from this link and disregard those from the left... BUT THAT WOULD BE CENSORSHIP.

The Dem call for Carlson’s firing was clearly justified…Trump’s call on Kimmel wasn’t…
Your attempt at Equivocation is not justified.
You hit the trifecta of Baron's first three rules of liberalism
Liberalism Rule #1 - accuse others of that which you are/do.
Liberalism Rule #2 - the rules apply to thee and not me
Liberalism Rule #3 - We know what is best, thus the ends justify the means.
Baron just makes stuff up to annoy Libs …don’t take him seriously.

In these cases, that's true.

If you can't see both sides... you are effectively blind to the truth..

I absolutely see both sides...and they are not the same. During the COVID-19 pandemic there was
rampant misinformation being thrown about...much of it by Russia and China in an effort to destabilize our country. This was verified by our Medical and Intelligence communities. Trump's call for firing Jimmy Kimmel, along with Steven Colbert and others who make jokes about him doesn't rise to the level of malignant misinformation as in the COVID case. Hopefully, you can see the difference...do you?
btw, as for Google capitulating...looks to me as though the took the "Easy Way" out...get my drift ;-)
Blind to the core.

Tyrone always clearly sees both sides of any issue...
The Liberal side...and the Marxist side...
Cite any examples where you think I’m wrong…please use substantive evidence…That’s an open
challenge.
Ask him about misinformation. He’s always got an excuse when his side does it.

So Trump got Kimmel fired? If so I guess he made the call and got him rehired.

That is his MO.
This line is the best:
"I suppose one could cherry pick examples of right wing censorship from this link and disregard those from the left... BUT THAT WOULD BE CENSORSHIP."
He has no self awareness that he does this reversing right/left in almost every post.
