I see it was their catch-all “missing context”, which they use when what you post is entirely accurate, and paints democrats in a bad light, because you don’t also include the democrat lies trying to refute what you are posting.
Even some of what many consider the best of them take Google graft.
So now we'll see, if the big deal lawyer brings legal action against Facebook for libel. I'm guessing he will not, or will quietly settle for no compensation if he does.

I think you are dead wrong about Radio. So much more liberty is expressed over the airwaves than over IP.
Thanks for the information, Mark. See something, say something. National socialists...thought burners.
A Free Republic is a Fun Republic.
A Facebook republic...not so much.
A twitter republic...no thanks.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

They are not service providers any more. They are in the content publishing business like newspapers and magazines and should be subject to the same laws. It will happen in Trump’s second term.
“The trouble for Levin is that radio is a 1930’s technology that is slowly dying. Social media is how you reach the masses these days.”
I’m sure Levin can stream his show live on his web page if he is not already doing so.
More liberty expressed, yes.
Growing audience to partake in it, no.
Levin does stream at his website.
I had to quit listening though because for some reason he was selling ad time to the Lincoln Project to run those hideous anti-Trump ads.
I’ve no use for Facebook but Levin is always honest and most often correct. I’d want to see what “false news” he allegedly posted. I bet it’s not. We really need to define these internet sites in a way where they can’t do this. And we need to break up the monopolistic sites like FB, Googoo, Twitter, etc. Competition helps consumers
Fake news? Mark Liven? A more knowledgeable truthful man is one of a dwindling few who publishes his Conservative views. When Hillary was running for potus, I kept exposing her lies when I could prove them and her ingenuousness and hypocrisy regularly on FB....’they’ threw me off. I didn’t understand their onesidedness at the time...would never had used them in the first place...as part of Social Media, everyone should avoid FB as long as they censure anyone who doesn’t toe their line.....
If we didn’t have FR...how amplified could our words get outside of our circle of family and like minded for continued discussion and counterpoint without commercial interruption or artificial time constraints?
HOORAY JimRob! One of the wheels on the Free Republic vehicle.
All that you say about ElRusbo is true.
He is 69. And he has a health prognosis which, let’s face it, is not good.
If his heir-apparent tries to rebuild the machine on AM radio it will be an EPIC FAIL. The conditions that existed 32 years ago when Rush did that just do not exist today.
Interesting. Thanks. Good eye/ear.
note to self. check Lincoln Project...and....I’m off...
Got it. Seen enough. WOW! Thanks, much.
Different utility for different audiences. Social media is an extension of radio, not a replacement.
Not for younger people. Most of them could not find a station on the dial. One of my millenial children does not even own a radio.
I cannot recall anything Mark has said that is untrue.
Then we will lose.
Regulate them like a utility company.
