The following article appeared in FOX News on April 13th
'An
undeniable cloud over free expression.'
Michelle Malkin joined Laura Ingraham
to shed light on what she sees as organized and well-funded efforts to suppress
conservative speech.
Malkin, a CRTV host, and Ingraham
highlighted groups funded by billionaire investor and liberal political
activist George Soros, like Media Matters.
"Media Matters has been at the
forefront of the speech squelchers, who are highly organized, incredibly
disciplined and obviously deeply funded, not only by George Soros but by a
number of left-wing foundations," Malkin said.
She noted that many of these
foundations are tax-exempt, because under Democratic leadership the definitions
of 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) non-profit organizations have been stretched so
that "blatantly partisan, political" outfits have been able to cast
themselves as educational or social welfare groups.

"The encroachment of these
censors and these bullies in the public square has left an undeniable cloud
over the First Amendment and free expression," Malkin said.
"They have an absolute immunity
shield to go after conservatives for expressing mainstream thought and
opinion."
She concluded, "The agenda of
these left-wing character assassins is to marginalize mainstream thought."
On Wednesday, radio host and
conservative commentator Ben
Shapiro explained the efforts to silence conservative speakers on college
campuses.
Shapiro said left-wing groups label
ideas they don't agree with - like support for a border wall - as "hate
speech."
