About 98% of the media is nothing but a free ad for the democrats.

If the DOJ doesn’t do anything about it before the election, it’s as if it were legal.

Actually...EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE the algorithm is applied in a manner that benefits Biden or a DemocRAT candidate is a SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT CAMPAIGN DONATION. They need to be fined many hundreds of billions of dollars. The government should OWN them and sell them off.

I never considered the in-kind contributions angle. Smart.

I don’t know about algorithms or campaign contributions, bit Facebook, Twitter & Instagram should be hit with a lawsuit/fine for aiding terrorism over EVERY post that’s used to plan and carry out riots. Not per day, but every post from every group & every individual.

We cannot have a democracy without the breakup of the propaganda organizations.

I so agree. I saw a meme today that said
“Do you realize a 17 year old defending himself against 3 attackers is getting more attention than a grown man who shot a 5 year old in the head at point blank range.”

It’s because the press/msm decide what the popular opinion will be on any subject.

But, their decision to cover or not to cover a story does not control how we feel. (Because we are not followers). Unfortunately, most people are sheep.

I think Bagpipe Billy’s inaction on most everything is an in kind donation to the Democrat Party.

Big tech knows that if Trump wins he will likely come after them hard. If Trump loses, on the other hand, they have nothing to fear from the dems at all, who love their propagandizing through selective censorship . Hence they could care less about interesting legal theories or empty words from the likes of Barr. They will go all in, blatantly, not really caring how obvious it is, betting that they can sway the election and thus gain complete autonomy to do their evil.

I recall studies in the 90s which showed that just financial activities by Unions represented more than all reportable campaign contributions combined for the Presidential and congressional campaigns in each recent election cycle.

Twitter the deletes Tweets of ordinary folks which get more than negligible amounts of retweets and likes if they portray the president or his supporters positively.
Clearly not equal accommodation.

Well, he did say "could be viewed as...."

I mean, that's pretty forceful!

The Dept of Injustice is moving fast on this case!

There is no right in the constitution to maintain an ongoing propaganda operation against the American people. This is what most of the media is today. They espouse the same talking points, and operate in lockstep. This has to stop.

Unless you happen to be republicans or conservatives.

Then it’s 3am no knock raids with CNN in tow.
