We're hearing from more and more people who are being blocked by the admin on Cowboy State Daily's Facebook page. Some are blocked from commenting, while others are completely blocked and cannot access articles on the Facebook platform.
The author of this post is one such individual.
The blocking happens out of the blue without warning or explanation.
This behavior should give us all pause - no matter which side you're on. The "free" press is censoring certain voices and opinions. One may argue Cowboy State Daily is a privately owned news outlet, but... take a look at who their partners or co-owners are. See the second one from the left?
The Wyoming Caucus.
We suspect that is the root of censorship with CSD. It's election season and only articles, columns, and letters to the editor that paint them as saints while demonizing the Freedom Caucus and other conservative voice are printed - or so it seems.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
If the press is supposed to be free, shouldn't the contrubutors to the entity have free speech as well? I'm gonna spare you a history lesson, but when the media is controlled by governmental entities such as the Wyoming Caucus, bad things happen to that country. It's called propaganda.
Go ahead, write a letter to the editor asking why conservatives are being blocked from the Facebook platform and denied a voice when they submit letters to the editor. See what happens. We hope we can be proved wrong. We hope this is one sick individual who will receive their comeuppance for supression. CSD could be a valuable news source in Wyoming if they remain neutral publishing both viewpoints.
Stay free!
