The so-called “news” media is run by pinkos. The so-called “entertainment” industry is run by perverts.

Partner, you hit two (2) home runs on both statements.

and still the FakeNewsMSM will claim the following!

6 Aug: BuzzFeed: Facebook Fired An Employee Who Collected Evidence Of Right-Wing Pages Getting Preferential Treatment
Facebook employees collected evidence showing the company is giving right-wing pages preferential treatment when it comes to misinformation. And they’re worried about how the company will handle the president’s falsehoods in an election year.
by Craig Silverman & Ryan Mac
After months of debate and disagreement over the handling of inflammatory or misleading posts from Donald Trump, Facebook employees want CEO Mark Zuckerberg to explain what the company would do if the leader of the free world uses the social network to undermine the results of the 2020 US presidential election...

In July, Trump told Fox News he wasn’t sure if he’d concede to Biden, casting doubt on whether there would be a peaceful transition of power if the former vice president wins the election.”...
On Thursday, Zuckerberg told employees that the increased use of mail-in ballots due to the pandemic will likely lead to a situation where election results will not be available “for days” or “for weeks.”...
Zuckerberg did not have a clear answer for what the company would do should Trump declared the election results invalid...

PolitiFact’s Sharockman said he doesn’t know what goes on inside Facebook when it comes to applying or removing strikes for misinformation. All the Facebook fact-checking partners can do is try to be honest, even if the other parties involved aren’t.
“We’re trying to be intellectually honest and thoughtful and deliberate and open and transparent. And no one else is. Everyone else is using the system to their personal benefit.”

4 Aug: Real Clear Investigations: Facebook’s Fact-Check Board Gets a Lot of ‘Likes’ From Soros
By Sharyl Attkisson
“The board members come from different professional, cultural and religious backgrounds and have various political viewpoints,” they wrote in a New York Times op-ed on May 6. “Some of us have been publicly critical of Facebook; some of us haven’t.”
Contemporaneous news articles reinforced this message, reporting that the board’s ideologically and geographically diverse members criss-cross the ideological spectrum.

A closer look, however, reveals that 18 of its 20 members collaborated with or are tied to groups that have received funding from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations – which is one of the most well-funded and influential progressive organizations in the country.

Open Society’s reach is so vast that simply receiving support from the institution is not a proxy for political leanings – one member has received support from Soros and the Charles Koch Foundation. But the fact that 90% of the board’s members have ties to that progressive group raises questions in an environment where conservatives complain about big-tech bias and internet censorship.

Here’s a list of the oversight board’s members: LIST

we are divided because of the folks pushing Marxism, either seriously or cynically. A lot of them are press. But if the press went away tomorrow we would still be divided over Marxism.

I notice you do not cite any Supreme Court cases after 1936.

After 1936, FDR had succeeded in overcoming the opposition in the Supreme Court. He appointed dogmatic Progressives, and they have been very successful in degrading the Constitutional limits placed on the government.

Since Obama, they blacked out everything, and twisted the news to try to blame everything on Republicans.

Yes, because they are getting desperate.

They had control of the country, pretty much going the way they wanted, until the Republican revolution in 1994, which came about because more and more alternate media was being created.

What the hell kind of family does Biden have where they know damn well he has brain issues, yet they allow him to run for POTUS? Allow him to be USED by the commies?

How else is George Soros supposed to "rule the world", or at least become the defacto leader of the U.S. through Biden the vegetable?

if Biden agrees to debate, i believe he will already have been given the questions and answers, and then given some cocaine to sharpen his faculties right before the debate.

Yet I can't believe that the media will do anything with this other than blow it off and ramp-up the arrogance a couple more notches.

No doubt, but now they know we all see their petty childish games and have 0 respect for them. Hopefully it will spawn some new honest ownership who will blow out the hate filled Lefties.

We used to have a local upstate NY Patriot with the same positions and passion regarding the items you posted. He was constantly suing the government based on this, unfortunately the deck is stacked high. Only way to stop it now is the vote, while we still have it.
