    Our own president made a statement that is not true at all ……. He said if you had the vaccine you can not get Covid… he needs to be impeached for spreading lies that could get people killed.

    There's a guy on this board who disagrees with everything I say and often adds a few insults for good measure. Yesterday he hit me up with a meme to make his point and his meme referred to people who are not fully vaccinated catching the virus. Not fully vaccinated is not the same as unvaccinated or not vaccinated, not fully vaccinated means a person had one shot and is waiting for the second one.

    We're being hit with all kinds of misinformation, disinformation, lies and threats of doom.

    Twitter is essentially the same voice of propaganda that Pravda once prided themselves on.

    PJ Media is an opinion website focusing on news from a center-right viewpoint. Founded in 2004 as Pajamas Media, PJ Media is now part of the Salem Media Group. The website records more than 12 million visits per month. Ad Fontes Media rates PJ Media in the hyper-partisan right category of bias and as mixed reliability in terms of reliability.

    You have screenshots which anyone can fake. How do you know PJ media isn't spreading disinformation themselves?

    Prove your case. Genetic fallacies get so dang old, and are a really poor debate tactic.

    If Biden keeps repeating this then he should be held accountable for spreading such incorrect information. If he said it once, erroneously, then I don't consider that "spreading lies". We've all stated incorrect info. It's when that incorrect info gets said over and over and over that it's an issue. At least with me anyway.

    Twitter does not claim to be supplying news or fact checked information.

    Prove what? That PJ media has a bias or that screenshots can be photoshopped?

    Prove that they were photoshopped. Of course, one can go to Twitter and see the actual posts for yourself, lol.

    I did. And as a person who likes to copy and paste chain messages on my FB I didn't see a conspiracy theory. Probably the doctors saw it as a collective experience and just copied and pasted a chain message. Nothing unusual about that.

    Easy. You can still spread misinformation about COVID online all you want if it fits with the liberal narrative.

    So basically doctors copied a chain message, you think it means there's a conspiracy to promote people to vaccinated?

    If they were even doctors.

    And why not just retweet it instead of posting it as if it were your own words, lol?

    If you don't know if they're doctors, then why are you making a fuss about it? That seems to be something your article should have told you.

    If you have some evidence, you should trot it out. Seems you're making quite a challenge absent any evidence of your assertion.

    Because social media, working with the Biden administration, claims to want to crack down on "misinformation". Duh. Except when the misinformation suits their agenda.

    So you're concerned about misinformation but don't even know if this is a big deal or not in the first place, because doctors copying and pasting the same wall of text is an issue... how?

    I'm not concerned about it. You should go back and re-read the OP. Thanks.
