    Those nutters? Meanwhile, you could always just go with primary sources instead. Which is all that is needed here.

    extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence

    The only problem is your “primary sources” are corrupt liars. You should look at our sources, then verify them on your own. If I can do it, so can you.

    The news is controlled -- by a six large mega-corporations, your strawman fallacy about Jews and white nationalists not withstanding.

    I don't think you know what "primary source" means, then.

    Primary sources are those created at the time in question by the person in question. When you have people on video or on their own channels saying something, they are the primary source of what they said/wrote. So when you want to know what someone said and just read/watch what they directly said without commentary, you are going with a primary source on the matter.

    Was it on Twitter and FaceBook? It was ONLY of Foxnews and other conservative media outlets. I look forward to hearings to find out who was coordinating this all and how much more the government was involved.

    Emails Reveal Biden Administration Coordinated With Facebook, Twitter

    Dozens of federal officials across multiple agencies within the Biden administration communicated extensively with social media companies to coordinate censorship of information, according to internal documents released by Republican Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana.

    Officials within the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services sent emails to employees at Facebook and Twitter to flag instances of alleged misinformation and provide talking points to counter allegedly false narratives spreading on the platforms....

    Huh? :roflol:
    BUT, let me (in all of my charitable magnanimity) humor this assertion...
    FACT: "1+1=2"
    BUT: Was it on Twitter and FaceBook?
    RW Take: "1+1 Does NOT= 2" (B/c it wasn't on Twitter and Facebook)
    ...
    ^Good luck with that one...:bored:

    Elon released the Twitter files that proves Twitter and others were doing everything they could to stop the spread of the story and to ban people that discussed it at Twitter and on other platforms. They were banning Trump Admin officials who retweeted the story or commened on it. With was done in coordination with the FBI who was helping to rig the election against a sitting President.

    Twitter released the inside emails and discussions with more to come. #MSM ignored the story, for the most part or reported it was simply lies and Russian Disinformation.

    So, yea, what you are stating is just plain nonsnense.

    Posts like this, you deflecting off to nonsense, just proves how annoyed you are that Elon is proving how rigged and slanted the 2020 election was. Try using some facts for a change instead of just hyperbole.

    Hunter should go to work for his father, get top secret clearance without qualifying for it, then leave and get a $2,000,000,000 investment from a tyrannical government whose human rights atrocities Biden turned a blind eye to.

    Then MAGA would leave him alone.

    Wait... weren't all the house lefties dismissing claims of Twitter bias and censorship?

    Now, the response is "**** happens"

    These people don't care.

    They are the subject of the burying.......................1+1= the two social media of which we speak. But do look forward to the House seeking information it the FBI also went to the other networks and print media telling them the same phony story.

    You are incorrect, AFAIK, about the "government" not having that right. I think it has to do with the specifics of the situation (unless you can link a SCOTUS decision, making as absolute of a statement, as you do).

    And one of those specifics, that we don't have, is what was in those particular tweets, so your statement that this was "the truth..." is based on nothing whatsoever. But if you were holding back on your supporting evidence, for some reason, I will certainly look at it, with an open mind.

    It's just an avenue they use to secure more fraudulent votes and to keep voter records out of date.
