FAITH CHECK: The 1st Amendment is first because it forms the cornerstone of a free Republic. If the people do not have the right to speak their mind in order to shape public policy, then we are not free. In that world, only the Managerial Class will dictate to the people. We the People, will become We the Government.
What makes John Kerry's argument so ludicrous is his concern that people would get their information from "one source." it never dawns on him that he is advocating that Americans only get their news from "one source," the government.

The Biden administration’s “climate envoy” John Kerry took heat recently for his comments about the First Amendment at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday.

During a panel on Green Energy, an audience member asked the former secretary of state what can be done to combat so-called “disinformation” on the internet regarding “climate change,” Fox News reported on Sunday.

“You know there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc.,” he said.

“But look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence,” Kerry added.
