    It isn't about the content it's about the revelation of hypocrisy that they can't see.

    So Donald Trump shocks the world with his guts women who says what more conservative voters have been dying for someone to say for years. He pointed to media and said you are fake news. And they proved him right by making up a Russian collusion conspiracy theory.

    So all this mainstream media that has utterly lost its ass in the past year is desperate to maintain its foothold.

    I may not be able to prove it but you and I and everyone else knows what's going on.

    It's the facade cracking the greasepaint is being washed away maybe we can see what's really occurring.

    If he didn't advocate for or incite violence, then he shouldn't be banned.

    The Koch funded astroturfed tea party movement is an insidious assault on the rights of our citizens and is a deception of the highest order. Through obscurantism, Koch has purchased modifications to law, like Citizens United, enabled by the mouth breathing hordes of shear idiots on the tea party docket, enabled by slavering goons like Jones, to misconstrue their "economic liberty" - that is, the richest people's rights to liberate you, me and everyone who isn't rich, of their wealth and prosperity - as "individual liberty", which is not hampered nor has it ever been by taxation or social services like SS or Medicaid.

    They have waged an egregious, under cover war against democracy and against the liberty of americans to become a collective to befit their own agenda.

    Jones enabled this conspiracy by giving it credibility among his listeners, and he is, in my estimation, party to treason and crimes against our constitution.

    You dont understand. Or you are betting willfully blind. Health care and education are commodities that have to be produced by people. You can't have a right to them because if you do you can't be forced to pay for it. You don't have the right to other peoples labor. That includes physicians.

    Cortez has no understand of economics.

    This has nothing to do with free speech the radio station was a pirate station.
    A pirate station is an unlicensed station and unlicensed stations have been shut down ever since we have had broadcasting rules.

    This is not an issue of free speech it is an issue that Alex Joones was using an unlicensed radio station to broadcast.

    Even the Pope would be shut down if he used an unlicensed radio station.

    We are a Constitutional Republic. So you are against the first amendment know? Or just want to end it for people you disagree with?

    Nonsense. This is a very real concerted attack on the ability of our citizens to mobilize as a collective, or, as "democracy" intended.

    You are absolutely correct and people need to read honest news sources such as
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/ente...a1991f075d5_story.html?utm_term=.3199b268fe97

    Of course supporters of Alex Jones are not prone to read honest news sources.

    How is this a freedom of speech or free press issue? No one is denying Alex Jones his right to speech, they're are just denying him the right to do it on their platform. You can shout from the street corner all you like you can't do it inside Walmart without their consent.

    It has been going on for a while. Problem is that the FCC has baby teeth not shark teeth.

    No but he sure as **** should be banned for the institutionalized cover up of child molestation, rape and abuse that has gone on in the church for decades, or even longer.

    The church is a criminal enterprise.

    This is not a free speech issue it is an issue of a pirate radio station broadcasting outside of FCC rules.

    Absolutely.

    If someone had 0 knowledge of Alex Jones, all this attention will make people curious.

    Because that is how it is seen.

    Yes suggesting tech giants are petty, and these huge corporations seem to be working together to silence reverting opinions.

    It was a bad move. You can justify it in your echo chamber and all the people that already agreed with you will continue to agree.

    You can also call the police on trespassers and its not necessarily racist, think that would save some reputation for Starbucks?

    Anything to deflect from the absurdity of their idiotic ideology, frankly.

    FCC rules prohibit unlicensed radio stations because they can interfere with others rights to broadcast in their assigned channel. Do you actually believe that radio or TV stations should be allowed to broadcast without following rules such as using some other stations frequency thus interfering with someone else's freedom of speech?

    Yet is still clueless. A degree doesn't make you am expert.

    I'm on the side of the constitution.

    By thinking a person who clearly doesn't understand economics is an expert because she went to college.

    Let me ask you, if a doctor told you swallowing lead is healthy and he had a medical degree would you swallow it?
