I’ve reported numerous “community standards” violations but apparently hateful Democrats are permitted to slur all people of faith, post KKK memes about Trump voters, and post assassination jokes about Donald Trump.
social media sources should be a balanced part of your news diet...
Since almost no other outlet prints conservative news/views, I TOTALLY and UTTERLY disagree that it is making us all dumber.
I see MANY blacks and puerto ricans on conservative trending hashtags.
I see people saying “i didn’t know that” or “I didn’t know this” about hillary’s misdeeds and Trump’s great remarks.
Is it perfect? No.
Show me what is besides God.
This is interesting, regarding newspaper readership. I stopped reading the daily paper in the mid-1990’s, when I started using the internet with a mainframe browser called Chameleon.
The only exposure I’ve had to newspapers since then is when someone leaves one in a bathroom stall. And I have not come across one of those in many years.
I’m in complete agreement. Places like Freerepublic tend to be echo chambers. But facebook is not. At least not for me.
I have a lot of “friends” that support Hillary. It’s always fun to comment on their hillary meme posts. But I’m always polite, though direct. I will call out ignorance but VERY rarely use words like “stupid”. I prefer “poopyhead”.
With regards to pools of actual data, Facebook readers are like cats.
Cats have been known to fall into a bathtub full of water and escape without getting wet!
lol. That’s a very mild word on twitter. :)
I’ve seen conservative hashtag trends reach millions over the past 3 months.
I tried twitter a few years ago. About the only thing you can do with 140 characters is get in trouble.
I abandoned it after less than a month.
We used to subscribe to the Clarksville LeafCronicle which is our local newspaper and was just the right size. I hate those big news papers. But when the paper got in with Gannet the quality went south. They don’t even print it anymore here in Clarksville but is instead printed in Nashville and than send to Clarksville. So most of the news are a day old.
Same here. I stopped before the Clinton Impeachment and have never regretted it. My local paper was then a liberal rag and from what I hear it's only gotten worse.
We do get a daily delivery here at work...I collect them for a few days when I'm planning to buy crabs, that's about all The Virginian Pilot is good for.
“The only exposure I’ve had to newspapers since then is when someone leaves one in a bathroom stall. “
The paper hanging on the roll works better...
lol. You’d be surprised at how good i’ve gotten at getting Trump’s points across in 140 characters. And hillary’s sliminess. Sometimes just posting a website like O’Keefe’s and short statements about wikeleaks are enough.
But it CAN lead to a lot of trouble!!
I stopped the LATimes in the 90’s when a story on Whitewater slammed Starr’s attorneys for using ‘desperate tactics’, while praising Clinton’s attorneys with ‘sophisticated maneuverings’. This was nearly 20 years ago. And the Media bias has become exponentially worse.
What I would like to know is how can I format my text on Facebook to give more emphasis? How can I post with italics and bold print? How can I change the font? Also, when I post a photo, sometimes all it has is the image location information, with no photo. Why is that?
I am not on facebook and I don’t know how it works.. Does it act something like youtube in the way that having a lot of views or followers pay’s you back real money? Has it been monetized in that way?
I would never refer to FR as an echo chamber. It provides in depth information and analysis on every topic FReepers seek to disseminate. While anti conservative commentary is frowned upon there is a plethora of articles posted from every liberal venue.
The notion that this or any site needs to offer the widest possible range of opinion without ostensibly espousing a position is bereft of reason. We are here because of who we are and what we believe.
It is our deepest conviction to further and deepen the reach and impact of conservative thought. We do precisely that.
That's because it becomes readily apparent in most YouTube videos that the video's editor(s) have completely failed and included 3 minutes of crap in what should have been a 30 second video. I find myself wading through a whole bunch of junk to get to a single, simple point that I was looking for.
Not to mention the $$%^##$@@ ads.
I was temp-banned twice simply for making lucent arguments about Trump. And the “other side” was slamming me like a bunch of DU members.
The comedy is that the second time I was trying to make the case for why, although I WAS a never trumper, I had changed my position and was not supporting him.
I didn’t get the chance.
And it’s worse than that. I’ve made mile comments about some negative things he’s done, and I’ve gotten subtlely threatening responses from others implying I had better be careful if I don’t want to be banned (and some not so subtle in their including Jim in the “to”). I’ve seen it happen to a lot of others as well.
This election is really messing a lot of things up.
One big problem I see with You Tube is the contributors using high definition video when a significant portion of the viewers (myself on ocassion) are accessing the video at the expense of the data allotment ($$$) of their cellular plan. And, you can’t turn down the video quality on many mobile devices. So, you better be very compelling in your You Tube intro or people will be leaving at the 2-3 minute mark -simply to save their data.
