Also the Dixie chicks wasn’t the bush administration radio stations stopped playing them because they were losing sponsorships. Again, not canceled, boycotted. Throwsa Parks sucks and anyone could’ve hired him if they wanted. You’re dumb. And for fun let’s just assume you are right (you’re not) do you want us to list all your cancellations?

Sean Mooney 2,021 Posted 5 hours ago 44 minutes ago, nobody said: The left had the FBI curating social media to shape narratives. It's a huge reason musk bought twitter. The right saw the power in influencing gullible lemmings, and how easy it is, and just started doing it better. But it was wrong then, and it is wrong now. And I spoke up then as well. But don't worry, your team will get their chance too and the death of free speech will be met with the sound of cheers by whichever team is doing it at the time. We suck. I don't have a team. This is all bad. Government should stay out of this stuff. Maybe no Kimmel will fix high prices though? I don't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't like it, but from a public health standpoint understood that at the very least it could be construed as part of "the greater good" in protecting vulnerable populations. You can disagree with my assessment all you want, it's fair game. But working in healthcare gave me a pretty good look at the ramifications of what some of that misinformation did. People literally died while their caregivers were being screamed at by relatives telling them it was their fault their loved one died. This situation is not equivalent. Nobody is dying because Jimmy Kimmel can't STFU. The President did not threaten Twitter with deplatforming. Kimmel told no lies. A few days ago my kids and I visited grampa. He was watching Fox news and as we walked into the room, the guest said "50% of democrats are okay with murdering their political opposition!" which is a CLEAR AND OBVIOUS LIE meant specifically to rile people up. I want Fox NEWS (fair and balanced trusted news org that millions rely on to tell them the truth) to be held to the same standard a comedian (that has no such responsibility to the public) is. Then you have to throw CNN / MSNBC in that mix. Don't point the finger at Fox and ignore the other side. They both do it and i want you to admit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention.....Biden's admin took it MUCH further than disinformation suppression. Remember what happened to those that said the virus might have been man made and came from a lab? De-platformed....Suspended, banned from these platforms. That was ALL because of the Biden admin. They used the we are protecting the health of Americans to justify a massive overreach. I remember.

It's pretty sad that we are holding our late night talk show hacks and cable TV talking heads to a higher standard then we do our leaders. Fundamental rights being oppressed from either side of the aisle should scare the hell out of us... yet we cheer and jeer along party lines as blindly as lemmings running towards the cliff. We laugh and point at the "other side" anytime their side gets a hole, not realizing that we are all on the SAME boat and its sinking. just random thoughts by some random internet guy. anyway back to the regularly scheduled bashing...

Trump and Carr shouldn’t be doing this shitt. I don’t like it. Cat is already out of the bag. It doesn’t matter if we are moral and righteous or what our actions are, the next time they get a chance they’ll cancel all of us. It’s a dirty game but it’s the game we have to play if we want to win. The British lost in 1776 because they wouldn’t “stoop” to our level and use gorilla tactics. I bet they wish they did now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
