Taibbi is a Leftist but one of the few honest ones. He disagrees that this election was a fraud, but it's an otherwise worthwhile read. Emphasis mine.

No such thing as an honest Leftist. At best, there’s a slight overlap of interests.

Nonetheless, thanks for posting and the emphasis.

Trump’s plan was 2 build a multimedia network if he lost in 2016. Maybe he’ll return to that plan and build a conservative Twitter/Facebook/CNN/radio/Amazon/TrUniversity.

Whoever thought I’d live in a world where I’d agree with Matt Taibbi or Glenn Greenwald and would consider Fox News suspect.

Fact check means you are no longer allowed to look for further facts...

Case closed?

Really?

It is Youtube which is going to be case closed. Bye.

Do you want 70 million Trump voters in the streets with guns and go-bags?

Is that like a "chess-bag?"

Or a "bug-out bag?"

Regards,

“For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.”

Lies right out of the box. It wasn’t widespread (Lie One) software glitches or counting errors (Lie Two).

Lie One: It was targeted to four states and concentrated to specific counties within those states.

Lie Two: It was software features and intentional miscounting.

Imagine you have a community news paper.

You go down and want to place an advertisement in the papers commercial section for rubber tires.

The newspaper refuses to run the ad because the rubber tires are mad by a well known Republican.

Do you think that paper would stay long in business?

Its the same with YouTube.

Their lightweight euro-weenie, man-bun management have ruined a cash cow. Now they must ride the lightning.

Wait for the whining to start.

I am not really against Taibbi. But here is the problem. We can present eloquent argument hoping that it will persuade them. Such an argument in and out of itself doesn't have much impact unless they see the real proof that it is right.

People splitting into two groups which have less and less in common, people moving to another location where their views are welcomed not condemned. All progressing under the surface without angry protests. Until that happens, they will scoff at Taibbi.

"If you want a population of people to stop thinking an election was stolen from them, it’s hard to think of a worse method than ordering a news blackout after it’s just been demonstrated that the last major blackout was a fraud. "

Yeah, so? What are they gonna do about it? The Chinese know what they're doing; they're old hands at it.

Thanks for posting this. It is bold for a liberal to write such an article. I’ll bet he gets a lot of hate mail from the left.

No, this guy is a messed up leftist. He is a clown who “believes” instead of studying the facts.

He “believes” Biden won. He ‘believes” that if YouTube just lets all of us “rabble” just be allowed to talk that we will stay outta the streets and sit back and wait for the next RINO to lose another fake election.

This guy may be honest with his words, but he thinks just like the rest of the pompous ass RAT media.

Not gonna happen Matt, too late. We will make sure all of your little RAT lives are as miserable as you have made us the last 4 years with your fake news, skanky grimy antifa and BLM burning and looting just because they can.

You Matt, are a coward. Your words prove it.

McNothing lol. Pencilhead.

Taibbi raises a point he didn't even make. WE should keep the NeverTrumpers out of the GOP. Do not let them back into the party machinery.

"Close your eyes and imagine what would have happened if Facebook and Google had banned 9/11 Truth on the advice of intelligence officials in the Bush years"

That's not the correct metaphor. What would have happened if FB, Goog, and Jack had banned keywords like "Gorelick Wall".

As it was, the media and Goog did do a remarkable job covering up the massive loss of personal and data privacy entrailed into The Patriot Act, which is about to transmogrify into the Americanized version of Chinese social credit.

A bishop, nun and I think a priest were banned from YouTube so life site put out this beautiful message from President Trump. It’s only a few minutes.
