A leftist corporate media reporter has been ruthlessly mocked after he attempted to warn the public about allowing a “tsunami of free expression.”
Lawrence Martin, a Canadian journalist with Canada’s establishment media outlet Globe and Mail, published an article denouncing the free speech Americans alternatively enjoy as a birthright.
Martin warned that the First Amendment is causing “excessive free speech” which he says “is a breeding ground for more Trumps.”

Since it was published Wednesday, Martin’s authoritarian article has been widely mocked online.
It was even ridiculed by one of the plaintiffs who sued Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration for pressuring social media companies to censor Americans.
Martin opens his article with excitement over the prospect that the U.S. Supreme Court might come down on the side of the Biden administration in Murthy v. Missouri.
Evidently accustomed to this style of overreach under the Trudeau regime, Martin, who once served as the Globe’s bureau chief in Washington, wrote:
“There was a bit of good news about the future of public discourse this week.
“The United States Supreme Court, even though stacked with right-wingers, sounded like it was ready to give the Biden administration the go-ahead to try to persuade social-media platforms not to put out content promoting nonsense about the presidential election, conspiracy theories about the pandemic and other assorted bilge and crackpottery.”
On Monday, the high court heard oral arguments concerning whether the Biden administration violated the Constitution when it pressured social media companies to censor and suppress Americans’ protected free speech.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed last year with a district court’s assessment that there was ample evidence of a “coordinated campaign” of unprecedented “magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a fundamental aspect of American life.”
U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty underscored that the Biden administration “used its power to silence the opposition.
“Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden’s policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power.”
