Hollywood leftist Judd Apatow is known for exemplifying the mindset of the Democrat Party and progressives in general. That’s why his call for government to censor Fox News was so Apatow apropos and why it was initially met with cheers from fellow leftists.
Then, independent journalist Glenn Greenwald chimed in. The beatdown was so lopsided that Apatow deleted the original Tweet.
“Why doesn’t the FCC take down the license for Fox News?” he asked.
Even if we dismiss the ludicrous nature of the Tweet — Fox News doesn’t need a license that can the FCC can revoke — we cannot ignore the authoritarianism that is indicative of today’s Democrat Party. Dissenting views should simply not be allowed in the minds of leftists, so they’d prefer government solutions to just make them disappear altogether.
Greenwald’s Twitter thread is an epic “sweep the leg” moment that exposed Apatow and leftists in general:
That's all independent of the legal inanities in Apatow's demand as it pertains to the FCC's powers and the like. That's just standard ignorance.
Most notable is how common it is among Dems to crave a union of state and corporate power brute censor one's political adversaries.

One last point about Apatow's censorship call: many cheering liberals in reply mention the court case Fox won by arguing cable hosts aren't newscasters. They have no idea Maddow/MSNBC won with the same argument – first! – because the media ignored it:https://t.co/hknM8rXdH1

Apatow, without comment, has now deleted his pro-censorship tweet. Here it is, along with a representative approving reply from blue-check liberals: pic.twitter.com/hXdIWRKv9J

There are many areas in which the left is demonstrably wrong, but free speech and freedom of thought are arguably the most egregious. It’s good to have people like Greenwald out there calling the left out for their insanity.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
