While the interview that was eventually published by Yahoo! News did include Ginsburg saying that she believes that not standing during the national anthem as an act of protest is “dumb and disrespectful,” it did not include her strongest condemnations of the act, according to Couric.

Not standing for the anthem shows a “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life … Which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from … as they became older, they realize that this was youthful folly. And that’s why education is important,” Ginsburg told Couric at the time. “I think it’s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.”

We must censor the truth for our own good, comrades.

Based Ginsburg. Silenced for straying from the narrative.

“Perky Katie” apparently has no code of ethics.

Which means she is normal for her field.

Translation: This is what true media bias looks like. It's not just how they spin what they report, it's what they decide not to report which also influences the masses.

Protect her from what?

There was no pending litigation. She was free to voice her opinion, and she was never afraid of what people would think.

It was more to protect how she was viewed by the left I would imagine... She was a saint in their eyes, ya know... Even though she was a very willing servant of Moloch...

I wonder if she would ever withhold comments from Trump or another conservative, to protect them?

This only proves once again that normal everyday people can’t think for themselves and need the media to do the thinking for them.

It was the truth, if that is what she actually said... People don't like being told the truth nowadays...

They really think a perfect world is trying to make sure the world we actually see is nothing but a caricature of the narrative they want to create.

It must be exhausting to have to adhere to that mindset in all things 24/7.

She'll never have to worry about wearing a sweater or it being too cold.
