Most Republicans want to censor just different things, just look at all the book bannings across the country. There are tons of things that lefty people complain about being censored on social media but we don't here about it because left-wing media is nowhere near as powerful as right-wing media. (The main lie in a lot of these discussions is that corporate media is lefty.)

Speaking as another leftie, corporate media is very much culturally left. But there is a big disconnect between cultural left and economic left now, to the point where the rhetoric of the former is used to distract from the latter.

Id like an example because i don't buy it. Unless you count something like reporting that scientists say climate change is real.

I mean, pick pretty much any cultural issue on which there is a clear left/right political split. Abortion, LGBT rights etc.
