I am really getting sick of every liberal calling anything they don't want to hear, misinformation.

In fact, I'm inclined to write an article called "The Misinformation of Misinformation", in which I explore the fact that the term "misinformation" has itself become misinformation, and an avenue for suppression and censorship.

Oh, and this: according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate..... gee, I wonder where THEY lie, politically.....

It’s sick. It’s as if the liberals discovered a way to circumvent the First Amendment by calling for a halt to (and even criminalizing) ‘misinformation’ and ‘hate speech’.

When I was a very young lad, in the early 1970’s, I used to hear this: “I may disagree with what you say, but I would fight to the death for your right to say it!” Not sure when it changed, but now it seems more like “I may disagree with what you say, but I would fight to YOUR death for MY right to censor it!”

A long time ago, in the 1980’s or so, when liberals were attacking the Second Amendment, many conservatives countered the Enemedia pressure by telling them, “How would you like it if we stripped the First Amendment?”

I counselled, even back then, “Be careful what you wish for. They just might like it.”

Turns out I was right.

You are spot-on. They brazenly lie, then label our truthful counters as “misinformation”. It’s nothing less than despotic.

I’m not the smartest person in the room ever and I can live with myself. The leftists believe they are the smartest person in the room and they murder children, bring criminals into our nation to rob and murder, lie constantly and ruin everything American as quickly as they are able and enabled. Leftists hate America and Americans. Yet some Americans will vote for their own destruction. I’m not the smartest person in the room but I cannot and will not vote for my own destruction till after I am dead.

Laz, you are the smartest person in the room, so I pose this question to this thread. How will anyone stop any U.S. voting for a democrat after we have passed?

I will summarize this opinion piece to save all the trouble of clicking the link, and thereby giving them more clicks.

WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH.

It is so much easier for us to lie when there is no one to counter us with truth.

WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH.

And there is the crux of the issue. Who is the ultimate arbiter of what is misinformation, disinformation, or to put it more plainly truth and lies.

Since we are all about culture let’s go to the top of the mountain, Seinfeld

“It’s not a lie if you believe it”

Then there is 1984….

“”Musk’s misleading election claims””

1984 is alive and well in the Drive-By Media. When El Rush-Bo broke the Drive-By Media Monopoly, they began their own Ministry Of Truth. “Experts” “Consensus” has reached the point where a person with a PhD in anthropology can ‘expertly’ announce that there is no difference in the skeletons of males and females.

If ever there was an example of Piled Higher & Deeper (PhD).

That is possible, but difficult and expensive, and when it comes to the govt with deep pockets it becomes even more expensive for you, they don’t care in fact that is the MO
Ask General Flynn or President Trump just to name two

Not sure who first coined this but for the Govt the process is the punishment.

Even if you prevail you are bankrupt.

If Twitter bothers him so much, he is MORE THAN WELCOME to start his own social network.
