This intimidation is veiled as thinly as the skin of those in Congress. The misinformation and disinformation that is excreted from Fox, NewsMax, etc. is not nearly as repugnant as lawmakers who demand an explanation from private companies as to why they don't shield the innocent ears of voters from the specific version of sanitized truth that they'd prefer.
