Harvard Law professor emeritus said that cancel culture needs to be fought by all Americans, after a House subcommittee last week held a hearing to discuss disinformation and extremism in the media.

Dershowitz, who notably defended former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial last year, said that Americans who subscribe to all political viewpoints—including liberals—should be pushing back. The House subcommittee specifically aimed at cable and satellite carriers that give a voice to conservative-leaning networks.

“I hope all Americans wake up to this,” Dershowitz told Newsmax on Thursday. . . .

Going further, he stated that “we need both the right, the left, and also the center to stand united against censorship, against cancel culture, and in favor of the marketplace of ideas.” . . .

Last month, Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Jerry McEnerney (D-Calif.) sent letters in which they asked whether cable providers should carry Newsmax, Fox News, or One America News Network. The letter was panned by Republicans, who argued that the question suggested that some Democratic lawmakers are seeking to impose authoritarian means on what can and cannot be published. This comes on the heels of a rash of censorship and deplatforming of prominent conservatives by Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Amazon. . . .

This week, the organization that oversees children’s book author Dr. Seuss’s legacy moved to stop publishing six of his books due to allegedly racist or offensive imagery and depictions. The move drew widespread backlash online.

“Americans are showing increased and substantial concern about the growth of cancel culture,” said Mark Penn, the director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey, reported The Hill. “Tech companies beware that the public sees them of acting out of bias tilted towards the Democrats and voters are calling for new regulations to ensure fairness and openness. Amazon, in particular, still has a strong image compared to Facebook and Twitter, but that image may start to erode if they expand the banning of books on their platform.”

Father God, I pray that You destroy the demonic forces that are trying to takeover this country You have given to us. God fearing men once ruled in this land. We need that back. Lord, stop the enemy from stealing our God-given right to pray and worship in the public square. Stand up the Pastors and Church Leaders to speak against the tyranny and evil agendas that are being forced upon our citizens, especially our children.
“That all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty and that you may reverence and fear the Lord your God forever.” Jos 4:24 (AMP)

America has been one place in the world where debate had been taught in our public high schools. Now, there is no free debate and university professors are losing their careers because they dare disagree with the views of university “authorities”. God, give us the grace and wisdom to continue to speak Your TRUTH in such a way that it can be heard by those who hate You. Give us courage.
Lord, please remove the scales that the enemy has placed on people’s eyes. Holy Spirit, create a hunger for you. Open the ears of those who need YOU to hear the good news of Jesus. I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen

Stop using these platforms!
I don’t use Twitter or Instagram, and I stay off Facebook as much as I can. I am trying to buy local rather than shop on Amazon.

    I agree with you Ruth. I am surprised at how many Christians are still using Facebook and Amazon etc. We have to make a stand somewhere. They want to cancel us out? Let us cancel THEM out. Let’s use what little power we have and make at least a dent in their businesses.

      Absolutely Laura.
      We may not feel as if we have much power BUT prayer is a weapon of war! Pray.
      Feels as if we are being attacked from every side but God is working behind the scenes. His works don’t make the news as ‘they’ want us to think there is no hope. But God….believe and know He is working and has no not abandoned us.

    I agree. We do not use any company that opposes biblical values and/or censors those who support biblical values. In addition, we do not buy anything made in China. We are at war! Why do so many in this country give financial support to our enemy? My family has paid dearly in our nation’s fight for freedom. Every war since the Revolutionary War is stained with my family’s blood. Some who came home did so with grievous physical and mental injuries resulting in unspeakable, unending pain and suffering. But, we paid the price. Please, my fellow Americans, don’t let their deaths and agony be in vain. I would much rather have the discomfort of going without products from the enemy than lose another family member

      My family has served in the Armed Forces in this country as well and I have nephews in service presently.
      Thank you for wisdom in your response John.

      I agree with you. We should make our voices heard by avoiding the companies who are shamefully opposing and targeting Christians and conservatives.
      Also, let’s not forget the fake media, who create a false report or innuendo and then tell us what they think about it (meaning we should think the same). I consider these people especially evil and dangerous in how they’re impacting peoples’ thinking. By using the media, our enemy has put people in chains. All of this requires our prayers.

      John, I’d like to say your family has my deepest appreciation and gratitude for their personal investment and sacrifice for our country. I feel your pain, and you are in my prayers.

We are going back in time and this is in the name of progressivism. They are very afraid of God and God’s people. But God will prevail because He is still on the throne.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:12-13, 15-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
