Do they mean like they did with the Charlottesville lie, stated over and over? Or “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, or the president has told over 10,000 lies? Or maybe that the president is a racist? The fake news is completely made up of lies - start there.

That is a request for CENSORSHIP.

And would be a violation of the First Amendment!

This presumes we watched it on one of the alphabet networks.

I haven’t deliberately watched any network for ‘news’ in years.

Everything we do is streaming, generally directly to the content source, unfiltered by a news editor.

If the TV Networks censor the Republican Convention or delay it in any way different from how they broadcasted the Rat Convention they should lose their Right to Broadcast over the terrestrial airwaves.

They have No right to deny the Republicans and the Conservative American People there First Amendment Rights to Free Speech.

From the article ... the letter dated Monday, signed by nine progressive groups, including an EMILY’s List PAC and Color of Change PAC.

In other words, the protestors are dyed-in-the-wool LEFTists, seeking a political advantage. Since the 'fact-checking' is done by mostly progressive-oriented pre-judging persons, they see it to their obvious advantage. Color me UN-surprised!

I “urge” all progressives and their ilk to take a leap off of a very tall building.

Democrats can’t be matched for arrogance.
What kind of Truth detector was on the awful, hate filled DNC Dog & Pony Show? If there were one, Joey would have been flagged with his “lots of good people” lie.
