While it was awful from start to finish, the hard part is \u00addeciding which was the absolute worst moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Was it the president\u2019s latest attack on state voting law reforms, which he bizarrely called \u201cthe most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War\u201d?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Was it the administration\u2019s outrageous invitation for the pampered popinjays at the United Nations to sit in judgment of America\u2019s racial strife?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps it was Biden\u2019s decision to push a one-party spending spree of trillions of dollars even as inflation levels reached their highest mark in 13 years?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under almost any president, each of those events would qualify as a low point. But Biden is proving to be spectacularly awful at his job, and he did something else that captures the award for the week\u2019s Worst of the Worst.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Friday, the president accused <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> of \u201ckilling people\u201d and demanded it silence those opposed to or questioning the coronavirus vaccines.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coming from the president, this is a breathtaking accusation and demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It far exceeds anything Donald Trump ever said or did. Trump wrongly called some media \u201cthe enemy of the people,\u201d but never accused them of actually \u201ckilling people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Biden has \u2014 recklessly \u2014 and no doubt assumes the lapdog <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> media will echo his charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"In this April 14, 2020 file photo, the thumbs up Like logo is shown on a sign at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. \" class=\"wp-image-18847085 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/biden-fb-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/biden-fb-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/biden-fb-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/biden-fb-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/biden-fb-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>An an anonymous executive from Facebook pushed back on Biden\u2019s remarks.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jeff Chiu, File\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Notably, Facebook\u2019s defense is that it is silencing as many people as it can find who question or criticize the vaccines.

The White House and the DNC are going to monitor and \u201cdispel misinformation\u201d on social media and private text messages? And work with congenitally-corrupt \u201cfact checkers\u201d?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My first reaction was this can\u2019t be true.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it is true. Jen Psaki, whose job as press secretary is devoted to making the outlandish sound routine, elaborated on the plan Thursday and confirmed it\u2019s already in operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin the Surgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a>\u2019s Office, we\u2019re flagging posts for Facebook that spread disinformation,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cWe\u2019re working with doctors and medical professionals to connect medical experts with people, who are popular with their audiences, with accurate information and boost trusted content.

The Post\u2019s expose on Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop last October was blocked by Big Tech for two crucial weeks while voting in the presidential election was underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later, a poll found most voters were not aware of the stories and some 8 percent said they would have voted differently had they known the facts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That restriction was done for partisan purposes by private companies. Imagine if the government had demanded the blackout, as it is doing now on vaccines and who knows what else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The First Amendment protects the right to disagree with the government. But two developments are converging that make this moment so ominous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>First, the Big Tech platforms are so huge that they really operate as monopolies. When they work together as one, as they did in squelching the Hunter Biden stories, they have almost absolute power to shape events. They even silenced Trump when he was president, a blackout that continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Second, some Democrats and others on the left embrace the cancel culture habit of silencing dissent. What started on college campuses has metastasized into a national phenomenon, with even large companies insisting that some routine disagreements are intolerable and must be banned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"US President Joe Biden (R) walks with his son, Hunter Biden (L) and this son Beau, to board Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, March 26, 2021, as he travels to Wilmington, Delaware for the weekend.\" class=\"wp-image-18847120 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/hunter-joe-biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/hunter-joe-biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/hunter-joe-biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/hunter-joe-biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/hunter-joe-biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Social media sites blocked the sharing of The Post\u2019s Hunter Biden pieces last fall.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And now we have the government endorsing these developments and trying to unite them.
