This is some commie bullshit. This is an example of a conservative snowflake.

The right should seek an alternative platform. Drop the twitters, the facebooks, the Netflix. Drop the woke sports while we’re at it. Boycott Hollyweird. Support more private religious schools. Support progressive taxation and regulation that favors widely distributed and more local capitalism. Stop acting like it’s some damn evil act to make the Masters of The Universe have to put more back in. Say no to big Government and big business.

Agreed. And it’s really up to individuals to do what they believe is right even at the expense of temporary inconvenience especially if we don’t want to set any precedents of excess government intervention. Like the suggestion above about going direct to the online retailer listed on Amazon.
That would be absurd since it would be akin to government nationalization of private infrastructure. This is Venezuela-type socialism. “Public spaces” are “state owned” by definition.

Even the alternative media is lying and covering up things, Glenn Greenwald quit the Intercept (which he co-founded) over them censoring his article on the Biden scandal:
I think he dissed the other news outlets too much. Probably afraid of getting sued.
EDIT:
Nah I was wrong. I read the article a little more closely and I don’t think so. It should have been printed.

While I don’t agree with everything written in the article, these two paragraphs are spot on.
On one hand, the paper of record now treats all foreign policy as domestic policy—i.e., as a mirror in which readers can see their own political concerns reflected. On the other hand, its domestic coverage is shaped by narratives crafted by partisan operatives and by the ideological demands of social media pressure groups.
The Times , wrote Aris Roussinos recently in the British publication UnHerd, “is no longer predominantly engaged in descriptive analysis of the rest of the world but instead in telling its readers moral fables about the U.S.; parables in which the rest of the world features as mere local colour.” In the paper’s coverage of Brexit and English politics generally, he writes, “Britain itself, with all its complexities, is reduced to a mere shadow play for American journalists to tell their readers improving stories about themselves.”

Agreed with the quotes. This just pisses me off. If they’re writing opinion pieces, write whatever the fuck you want. But if you want to write serious news, do your goddam research, don’t reframe the narratives for your audience and fucking don’t engage in activism through journalism.
Some journalists may have had good intentions by thinking they were helping Hong Kongers “fight for freedom” but all they ended up was fucking things up for them even further both by humiliating the CCP through so much exaggeration and emboldening the extremists. The morons SET A MAN ON FIRE in broad daylight ffs.
The media thought these guys were sane, freedom-loving resistance fighters up against an oppressive government that was letting them do shit like this without even deploying their military? The most they deployed was HK’s SDU since HK has no fucking military.
(SCMP is a Hong Kong news site. If people don’t believe this, go google the video footage. It’s there somewhere. I’ve seen it and I don’t want to watch it again so I’m not posting it. )
Now the US is facing BLM riots and they know how disruptive this kind of shit can be. Imagine living in Mongkok, which is one of the most densely populated places in the world and the same riots are taking place.
Look at these dumbasses:

I am just spit-balling ideas. You make a solid point. I think anti-trusting these bastards is the best solution. Reason being, is that it will spread out the power structure. So, instead of the info being controlled by 4 people, it would be controlled by 30-40. Odds being that they will not all walk in lockstep when there is more ownership.

It’s been tried. The problem is the media called them “white supremacist” and they never took off. They didn’t have enough of a foot print to withstand the criticisms. They would crop up, and the media would be on them like flies on a turd.
I got some new hot drops pertaining to this thread. Once I get through all my replies, I will drop them. There is so much going on, I haven’t even been able to cover the Philly riots, which have been major.
In all reality, the Times is a fallen news outlet. They are no longer worth the paper they are written on. The woke identitarianism is strong in the Times and dissent is absolutely crushed. It’s why even a center-lefty like Bari Weiss was forced to resign. She was not woke enough and she was treated like shit for not being woke enough.
Oh man! From the guy who told us Obamagate is the biggest scandal in history and then shifted quickly to Hunter Biden is the biggest scandal in history I can’t wait to see what today’s biggest scandal is.
I hesitate to make a prediction but I’m going to guess this has nothing to do with anything a Republican has ever done.
Some guesses:
Obamagate was just the tip of the iceberg. Obama has been spying on Trump THIS WHOLE TIME. The dude was hiding behind the curtains in the oval office for the last 4 years.
Hillary Clinton is actually “Big guy” in the Hunter Biden emails, and their corruption dates back to when she was First Lady. SHE WAS USING THE WHITE HOUSE FOR PERSONAL GAINS!! But Twitter won’t let them print this, even though there is a witness (the witness is Guiliani’s butler, but that’s just coincidence).
Kamala Harris actually shot Walter Wallace Jr. She quickly pinned it on the police, while she joined in with the looting. PROVE ME WRONG!!
I now bring you more evidence that the mainstream media is fucked up beyond repair. More evidence that the title of this thread is perfectly appropriate.
This is posted for Don Lemon’s comments about how he had to ‘purge’ Trump supporters, friends and family from his life because of ‘wrong-think’. It’s up to you if you want to read the NewsBuster’s commentary.
I just think its sad that this guy is so deluded with his hatred for one guy, one person, that he would let it affect the deepest aspects of his personal life.
This is a lesson on not letting hatred consume you to the point to where you are ‘purging’ friends and family over a person you don’t even really know or have ever even met. Yeah, he’s the president and all, but it’s still one guy. And he is letting his hate for the one guy dictate how he operates in his regular life. That’s pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me.
Here’s a quote:
“And I just had to get rid of a lot of people in my life because sometimes you have to let them go. I think they have to hit rock bottom like an addict, right,” he rhetorically asked Cuomo. “And they have to want to get help, they have to want to know the truth, they have to want to live in reality, they have to want to be responsible not only for other people’s lives but for their lives.”
Addicts? Really? That’s the justification for being a dick to your friends and loved ones, because they disagree with your political point of view? You cannot agree to disagree and grab a beer?
This is a more a reflection of how pathetic he has become versus those whom he is criticizing. He hates Trump so much, that he will wreck relationships over it. Now that’s sad…

This is a biggie in the journalism world. Glenn Greenwald is a heavy hitter in the world of journalism. Clearly I think this is a bigger deal to journalists, than regular people, but it’s still a big deal.
To summarize, Glenn is a liberal journalist who got famous by revealing the Edward Snowden story. So he is big in journalism. With his fame secured he co-founded a news organization called “The Intercept”. He was forced to resign from the organization he co-created because they violated his contract. In his contract he had two safety measures. One was that he was an independent writer and editor, not subject to the organizations editorial board. The second was that they couldn’t stop him from printing stories in other outlets. They violated both terms. And what were they suppressing? The Joe Biden corruption story. His story about the freaky far-left censorship is better explained by him. So I will post a few stories about this and let him speak for himself. This makes him another top tier journalist who left a major news outlet over censorship and draconian, far-left radical agenda’s. Further proving that the mainstream media apparatus is fully broken, untrustworthy, and full of mostly lies. The media is broken. I bring you, left-wing journalist, Glenn Greenwald:
A mainstream story about him:
This is the real meat and potatoes. This is Glenn describing the situation he found himself in:
His resignation:
The reason we don’t know what’s going on and have to do extensive research now is because the media is fucked.
Don who? No one care about Don Lemon. Well, you obviously care.
Well, with a name like NewsBusters they must be serious journalists.
3 articles in this post. One in the post above. Does anyone want to bet that pat didn’t read any of them?
The 2nd one was pretty inflammatory towards other news organizations and alleged a lot of things about the Biden issue but I think it should have been published. I originally thought they were just afraid of being sued.

It’s way too complex for me. Anti-trust laws are already complex and lack precedent. Also, look up and factor in the tech(frontend, backend, system architecture, servers etc) involved in just ONE of these social media companies and you’ll get what I’m saying. The microsoft case was relatively simple compared to this.

They don’t lack precedent. The U.S. vs. Standard Oil? The U.S. vs. AT&T? U.S. vs. U.S. Steel? Those are some of the big ones. There have been lots of anti-trust cases.
