    There is no length the left won't go to justify and normalize censorship, discrimination, oppression, intimidation, cancel culture.

    Thanks for your opinion I guess?
    Strange that you see no issue when the leader of the Republican party does this but random nobodies even mention it and it is the end of the world. And y’all call liberals snowflakes... lol

    Sadly Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, etc. enforce their terms of service unevenly.

    It's basically telling people what they want to hear; just like any other news agency these days. Just that this one is a right wing news source which will put their biased journalism out there. They aren't really Alternative media just another media source that's out there trying to make a buck.

    Sadly very many Liberals want to ban Strong Conservative media like NewsMax.

    I keep hearing this, but find no credible evidence.

    I see my republican friends post things like "My picture of the American flag keeps getting removed by FB; keep the flag alive"

    Yet, those posts never disappear.

    I see all sorts of bat **** insane stuff on FB all the time. It's not related to party. Lies about republicans are as prevalent as lies about democrats.

    How would they ban them? By not watching them? Fact of the matter is that they cannot be banned (at least in the US) since we have the first amendment which protects them.

    Conservatives would just love to ban CNN if they could but again the first amendment protects them against that. You must admit that news is big business for the most part and they'll do whatever they have to in order to be profitable. That's capitalism at its best.

    Liberals and fascists are different. No true liberal would ever support silencing anyone, regardless of how absurd the speakers statements are.

    Show me a story from WaPo or NYT or any of the mainstream networks that reported that Trump colluded with Russia as a fact.

    Who is trying to ban them?
    They serve their watchers perfectly. They tell their viewers what they know their viewers want to hear, completely disregarding the truth. It is a confirmation bias feedback loop.

    We don't mind. But we feel a bit sorry for the viewers because it's one more baseball bat to the already damaged nervous system.

    And the Trump cool-aid keeps being passed around.

    Who would have thought that during the Trump Presidency the NRA would be politically neutered by their own corruption and that Fox News would become the enemy of the Trumpinistas.

    Another head scratcher. That newsmax and parler are growing proves the free market of ideas is alive and well. Your posts are very self-defeating.

    No.

    The more radical you become, the more you will have to get used to having a Democratic President in the WH.

    Trump was miraculously elected in 2016, and voters made it clear that they wanted a return to normality.

    if the Right had their way, they would kill the Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act, all anti-discrimination laws, same-sex marriage, etc.

    They are growing, but not for the lack of Liberals trying to censor them.

    The only way to censor any news organization (unless the first amendment is repealed) is by not watching it.

    Deplatforming a small news organization is easy.

    Deplatforming a large organization would be technically impossible.

    It really is satisfying watching the GOP get cannibalized by the Frankenstein's monster they created.

    If that is how you refer to about 25% of US population who are Strong Conservatives.

    About 35% are Woke. The rest are Independent.

    You don;t get to call far right wing weirdos "strong conservatives". There is nothing "conservative" about their nuttiness. "Conservative" refers to policy stances, not one's willingness to believe idiotic conspiracies or one's willingness to dive into a cult, headfirst. You need a new word other than "conservative". These weirdos are more defined by their authoritarian affinities and their gullibility than they are any conservative policy stance..

    I don't know who these liberals might be, nor what the tried, but since they failed miserably, I wouldn't be too worried about them.
