Watch before it is taken down:

 

 

I know, I know, the mainstream media is unbiased and all.

Damn, it's just a matter of time before they delete my homemade video called Schindler's Lisp.

It's cool wiff, your side isn't controversial, nothing to worry about for you.

 

Until that changes...

What the fock? This is sad. The internet of today is going to make the internet of tomorrow seem like the wild wild west once they start over censoring everything.

I was unaware that FB now qualifies as "media."

if you think a good deal of the population under 30 doesn't get 90% of their "media" from facebook, you're fooling yourself.

FB still isn't the media. HTH.

There is a story where a West Point grad published a blank 100 page book on Amazon and advertised on FB, a blank book became a best seller, a prank about Annapolis that seemed to put some money in his pocket

no media posts stories on FB.

Watson is big 9/11 truther/birther/conspiracy wingnut and Alex Jones flunky, so yeah he probably would fit right in here.

people think posting stories they find elsewhere qualifies as media now

 

FFToday is now Media

Facebook is a social media platform. I think their recent policy of excluding "fake news" is dumb, but they're not the news media and they're not under any obligation to remain impartial on what they post there. If you don't like it go use MySpace.

You just implied that FB is supposed to be impartial because people get their news there. Nobody knows WTF point you were trying to make except you.

if they were taking down articles with a republican slant, you'd have a different take. odd.

I think FB's policy is stupid and wrong, but it is not evidence of the biased mainstream media. FB is not a news organization.

 

You are way out of your lane ed, stick to TMZ or Deadspin gossip.

That certainly isnt shocking given those who applaud such stuff here.

Lol. They didn't come for anyone. They are a for-profit private entity with every right to police the content on their site however they see fit. Even calling this "censor(ship)" is really dumb, since, as already mentioned, there are many other sites that will gladly post the videos that youtube might choose to reject.
