Associated Depressed: Lib Outlet Cries Big Tech Not Doing Enough to Handle Election Misinfo ‘Mayhem’
NewsBusters ^ | 10/25/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

The Associated Press is throwing a hissy fit that Big Tech companies like Facebook and Twitter aren’t doing enough to censor political speech before the midterm elections.

The liberal outlet whined in an Oct. 21 piece that “misinformation about voting and elections abounds on social media despite promises by tech companies to address a problem blamed for increasing polarization and distrust.” AP joins a growing chorus of liberal media outlets like The New York Times banging the same drum trying to get Big Tech to listen to their screeching and shut their political opponents up.

AP raised alarm that there’s “less than three weeks before the polls close.” The propaganda piece’s headline made it sound like an Information Armageddon is approaching: “Social media platforms brace for midterm elections mayhem.” Take cover!

In other words shut down the truth somehow, we know you have the power you’ve always done it before.

Silly AP....

Big Tech, the MSM, and the Dems are the best help Satan has in spreading LIES.

The MSM media is spiraling the drain. Their propaganda isn’t effective anymore electing American hating Democrats.

I suspect its more the case that FB isn’t throwing FB Bucks at the ObamaBots.

Ask them if “2000 Mules” is misinformation?

Exactly which part?

Or have they not bothered to see it?

I believe it has evidence that would stand up in court.

If you have not seen it you are doing yourself and the country a great disservice.

What exactly is the “misinformation” that they are talking about? I have no doubt that it does NOT include Hillary Clinton’s unsupported claim that “right-wing extremists” are going to steal the election.
