FREEPER ALERT! Our FReepathon has fallen way, way behind. Please consider donating today.
I watched at least one episode of the “West Wing.” The one I remember watching was first episode after 9/11. Preachy, annoying and disgusting. I vaguely recall Sorkin got busted tears ago with magic mushrooms at an airport?
Didn’t he confess he wrote “The American President” while on crack?

I saw “The Social Network” when it came out.
Even then it seemed like a CIA propaganda campaign to bolster Mark Zuckerman.
The real irony is that he is right but for the wrong reason. Jan 6 was a response to the vandalized election process that produced an uncertifiable and unconstitutional electoral outcome.
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan donated over $400 million to two nonprofit organizations, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), to provide grants to local election offices across the country in 2020. This money was used to fund the placement of “unmonitored private drop boxes” in some areas that were stuffed with harvested ballots.
When FaceBook decided to suppress news-related posts from average users and replace it with news from "official" sources, then the traffic dried up.
Sites like Gateway Pundit were especially hard hit. Whether you like them or not, that's probably a reason for their recent travails.
How much traffic to FreeRepublic was driven by FaceBook posts?
