When they decide to become Editors, they become in essence newspapers.

I myself wonder if Trump is actually going to hit the TV Station entities to report news rather than leftist programming under the guise of News programming. CNN is essentially a DNC Talk Show as is MSNBC.

I got banned TWICE on Twitter for doing really nothing

Celebrities say way worse things to President TRUMP & they never get banned

Well we certainly need the state to control the press.

It’s hopeless man. These people on this thread are damned and determined to allow Trump to be a dictator against private businesses and will fight you to the death about utilities and publishers and so on. Often contracting themselves and each other.

I know. It's a self-inflicted wound to the reelection campaign and it's frustrating to those of us who want to see Trump reelected and who realize that it's going to be a tough campaign to begin with.

But it also aggravates some people and I need a hobby.

I think the LAST thing Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey wants is a discovery phase of any legal proceeding. Can you imagine the public uproar when we find out just who was the target of Twitter censorship?

That’s the main thing. Getting Trump Reelected. Having him shut down social media sites is not going to help that, in fact it’ll put a whole lot of people off on him.

But hey, as I’ve read on here the ends justify the means even if the means is government control of the press and private companies.

they already ARE controlling social media, you idiot.

FB and Twitter and YouTube actively promote and certain pols and activist groups.

Unchecked bias on these publishing platforms for over a decade has lead to outright censoring and banning of conservatives ALL over the place not just on social media,to physical attacks on us on the streets in restaurants etc.

YOUR weak ass “lets not do something too crazy” mentality has lead us here. Thanks, but you can leave.

Your post really made no sense, and certainly didn’t apply to my post.

You miss the point, e.g., that programming called NEWS will disappear and become Talk Shows if the new broadcasting standards being proposed are mandated.

Networks that broadcast programs can have News Programming, but the current “News format” will become Talk Shows and no longer be called News. Even Fox will find themselves hard pressed to have a 30-minute segment called News Programming given their current presentation style.

You said government should not be censoring private industry. Twitter and FB are censoring on behalf of government already though..the left and the dems.
Wake up.

yes it makes sense. once you decide that one group of people are not worthy hearing and ban them you open the doors to doing other things to them like harassment and doxing, you don’t see how this escalates?

Can it escalate any higher than a president issuing an EO to shut down a social media company?

And the only thing that’ll save us from this disaster is, you guessed it, big government. Not shadow government like some people are talking, but the actual president

A lot of those followers are liberals who tweet the most vile things in response to Trump’s tweets. Hollywood losers tweet whatever the hell they want. The Trump tweet they censored and supposedly “fact checked” was actually accurate. There are numerous examples of voter mail fraud.

LMAO, troll.

Hopefully come November you can say you told me so. Until then go back to sticking your head in the sand. Or other places.

Where in the Constitution, the ONLY source of legitimate power of the feds, is this power specifically enumerated?

You’re so obvious troll.

After Trump wins, you’ll disappear to lick your wounds...

then come back around for the 2022 election.

You’re so obvious troll.

I'm assuming you meant to insert a comma between 'obvious' and 'troll'. Punctuation is your friend.

After Trump wins, you’ll disappear to lick your wounds...

Hopefully I'll be here to hear you say you told me so. If you're still here.
