    How quaint.

    No, you're being censored because we don't allow disinformation to influence our elections. Sorry. Try Indonesia. Or Philippines. Oh hell, try Cuba. Close by, and who needs elections, amirite?

    No, you're being censored because you are wrong, and the power of social media requires us to temper the dissemination of disinformation to preserve our democracy. Our nation. Our people. You're being censored because what is being presented is anti-American and dangerous. You're being censored because censoring you is what patriotic Americans do.

    How many conservatives think earth is 6,000 years old?
    And what does geology have to do with it? Did you mean religion?

    Anyway, you are using unrealistic blanked statement.

    So does a study that says anyone to the left of an imaginary point "A" gets more input than people to the right of an imaginary point "B".
    And Geology is the study of the earth including it's age.

    Wanna check out a real censorship site filled with bias while faking orgasms of being fair and least biased. Talk about a bunch of morons and nut jobs! https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ What a sick joke they are.

    Their fact checks exist only to confirm their own pre existing biases.

    Well less than 15 yrs ago, conservatives wanted intelligent design taught in science classes. As far as unrealistic blanket statements, how many still believe Obama is a Muslim. Of course we can take the voter fraud charges too. When it comes to spreading misleading information, there are an ubiquitous amount amount of conservative outlets.

    The typical liberal arrogance behind MBFC, Rational Wiki, politifact, and the like as well as those who use them as gate keepers for content control. It’s why Facebook, Google, Twitter are losing membership to start ups like Parler, Gab, and so many other new counterparts to the existing big tech social media world order.

    Well, 15 years ago Democrats and Republicans were different. Things were simple, like evolution vs school prayer. Now it’s a violent racist mob vs people just trying to live their lives.

    No. That's the free market at work. Everyone is free to speak their minds, just not anywhere they want, any time they want.

    We won't again let Russia or anyone else interfere in our elections. Like I said, there are other lands if this bothers you so much.

    Yes things have changed but that last sentence of yours is exactly the BS I am talking about.

    You misspelled "tyrants". So you think allowing what basically is a political party (or at least acting at the behest of) to control what people can hear and see and write is a good idea? I see it as 1984 coming to pass.

    Hmm. Please highlight the part in my quote where I claim Wikipedia is - well, anything. You can't - since I wasn't asking about it and posted nothing about it. So right there your - well, let's be kind and call it an "argument" - has been shot full of more holes than a slice of Swiss Cheese. What I WAS asking was the basis for your belief that reality has a left-wing bias.

    You say you do research on the validity of your arguments and yet you couldn't even correctly read a two-sentence post. Let me simplify the question for you:

    Given: Golem claims reality has a left-wing bias.

    Given: Golem claims he researched the validity of his arguments.

    Conclusion: Golem researched the belief that reality has a left-wing bias.

    I'm asking you to share your research and proof that reality has a left-wing basis. I'm not asking you to prove anything *I* claimed since I made no claims at all. I'm asking you to support your own claim. That is my hope, but my expectation is that you will not support your claim. *laughs*

    Do you support foreign interference in our elections?

    I have no idea what you're talking about here, but I was talking about foreign disinformation used to influence the election for Trump. If you support this, then I call that anti-American.

    If you want separate echo chambers for both news media and social media where conservatives and liberals go to completely separate places to get all their news and social interactions by all means have the lame stream media and big tech social media keep doing what they’ve recently been doing. We conservatives have largely decided it would be better to tend the news and information nation completely in two and not communicate with each other at all than to come together but only on their terms. As to election interference, China and Iran manipulated the last one in their favor.

    Because facts confirmed their "pre-existing biases". Which is a pre-existing bias in favor of demonstrable facts. And not of the made up fantasies that Trump and Breitbart live off of.

    The foreign misinformation in this election was from China and a bit from Iran and it was to the benefit of Biden. Biden is a handled asset of the Chinese Communist Party.

    Wow, just wow. So you present a strawman and then refuse to address it? I hope they are smarter than that. How weak

    Conservatives will continue to get their news from the WSJ. You Trumpers can go anywhere you want.

    No official word on who interfered this time, but Hunter's laptops were surely intended to favor Trump. China, Iran, Russia, Israel, it doesn't matter. It was done for Trump. Didn't work, and it's not going to work in the future. We learned our lesson in 2016.

    (And we know Russia hacked Burisma in February. It's pretty clear who was behind this.)
