I agree that the mass and social media censored the pro-Trump, pro-Republican message in this year’s presidential election. Not only that, post-election they have conspired to suppress and censor the evidence supporting widespread voter fraud which was designed to deny President Trump re-election. Analyses point to indications of election fraud: President Trump won or increased his vote in crucial demographic categories (e.g., suburban women, minorities, whereas Vice-President Biden won less of the black vote than either Clinton or Obama), very reliable predictive non-polling indicators (e.g., internet searches) predicted a Trump victory, and abnormally low mail-in ballot rejection rates. Additionally, Republicans won down-ballot elections overwhelmingly. Also, voting machine software such a Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic were used in many states although these systems can be easily hacked and the results manipulated. And states such as Pennsylvania, changed their voting procedures without legislative and/or voter approval

in contravention of their respective state constitutions as well as Article II of the U.S. Constitution. Not only has there been censorship, but legitimate voter usurpation on a grand scale.

William Shirer in his tome, “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” (1960) shared this anecdote about the consequence of a censored and controlled media, when he was a reporter in Berlin, just prior to World War Two. Goebbels was the (dis)information minister.

[From Shirer]

It was obvious that they were parroting some piece of nonsense they had heard on the radio or read in the newspapers. Sometimes one was tempted to say as much, but on such occasions one was met with such a stare of incredulity, such a shock of silence, as if one had blasphemed the Almighty, that one realized how useless it was even to try to make contact with a mind which had become warped and for whom the facts of life had become what Hitler and Goebbels, with their cynical disregard for truth, said they were.

"When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,'" he [Hilter] said in a speech on November 6, 1933, "I calmly say, 'your child belongs to us already… what are you? you will pass on. Your descendants however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'" And on May 1, 1937, he declared, "This new Reich will give it's youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing." It was not an idle boast; that was precisely what was happening.
