Following the recent death of actor Kirk Douglas, the MSM has been singing the praises of writer Dalton Trumbo:

What I find interesting is that Dalton's claim to fame stems from his being "blacklisted" for his political views. His fate is startlingly similar to what social media sites and others currently are doing to persons whose views THEY don't like.
One example of such new victims is https://www.zerohedge.com/, which has been permanently banned (i.e., blacklisted) by Twitter for questioning the source of the 2019-nCoV virus.
And now that the White House also is questioning the provenance of that virus, shrill cries of "just another conspiracy theory" are certain to be heard throughout the land:

People, for freedom of speech to exist one has to tolerate ideas you don't like or believe in. Somehow we understand that in the case of Dalton Trumbo, but we've forgotten all about it with respect to just about everyone else.
