The Left’s cowardly stance against misinformation

When the Biden administration talks about misinformation, it is spouting totalitarian rubbish! This country has just about always pursued the truth through rigorous debate. Every court proceeding is about presenting opposing viewpoints, in order to arrive at the truth - and then a sound judgment. When you develop a solution to a problem, you bombard it with a slew of challenges to see if the solution holds up under the onslaught. It is only after you see your solution resist challenges made against it, that you have confidence in it. When a scientific study is made, it is subject to peer review, to see if it can withstand challenges to it. It is only after a study is seen to be unscathed by challenges, that the scientific community has confidence in it. It is virtually impossible to get to the truth about anything, without opening a position to challenges. On the contrary, it is people who know their viewpoints are weak or dishonest, who try to protect them with censorship. If the Biden administration was sure about the correctness of its medical and other positions, or wanted to ensure it arrived at the best positions, it would welcome challenges to them. The Biden administration’s claims about misinformation, is therefore nothing more than protection for its phony narratives, it knows would fall apart, if they were subject to intellectual challenges.
