Newsthud had the blurb from earlier broadcast:
https://newsthud.com/watch-newsmax-just-aired-a-big-disclaimer-on-their-dominion-and-smartmatic-coverage-following-fox-news/
Apparently Fox and Newsmax and Sidney Powell have been threatened with lawsuits. Sydney says bring it on.
This may be an unpopular view - but I don’t mind the disclaimers and content warnings.
Ironically, the fake news is unintentionally lending credibility to the content they are “debunking”. When I see such a warning on a Trump tweet, for example, my first thought is: “Aha, the President is saying something true and important - why else would Twitter be trying to persuade me otherwise?”
Funny story: when my mother was young (circa 1930), her mother censored the “off-color” parts in certain books, by covering the phrases with red tape.
Ironically, this made the naughty parts far easier for the children to find, since they could see gaps on the censored pages a mile away - and the tape even made the books fall open to the right places! It was a kind of tape that wouldn’t harm the paper, and could therefore be easily lifted off and then replaced.
I think the fake news efforts to censor with these disclaimers, content warnings and “fact checks” are every bit as futile and counter productive as my grandmother’s red tape. It may be unintentionally helping our cause, by drawing attention to the truths that the Left fears most, and by exposing their clumsy deceptions for all the world to see.
The fake news is making themselves look exactly like what they are: political hacks and propagandists. I’m really surprised they aren’t being more subtle about it - a third grader can see through what they are doing - it’s an embarrassment.
But there is far more dangerous form of censorship that is not a joke: where they simply remove content, bury a story, or lie.
STOP BEING INTIMIDATED, NEWSMAX!!! You are our LAST HOPE!!
I figure this is a ‘strategic withdrawal’ as a successful lawsuit by Dominion would probably bankrupt Newsmax. And that I doubt Newsmax could find a honest judge to try the case.
