  1. Lester Holt, a perfect example, since the media and social media are both gatekeeping propaganda, tells us how PROPAGANDA is the right thing to do when he accepted his latest award, he is the POLAR OPPOSITE of the right person for a 1st amendment award!!!

    UNPACKING A LIE is not a quick sentence, so please read.

    ** I can PROVE, UNEQUIVABLY PROVE it***

    He explains:

    "Providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to say whatever they want, especially when issues of public health and safety are at stake, can be quite dangerous"

    "A contrary view does not deserve our time and attention"

    He sounds logical. He says: "Sun sets in the west is a fact" and yes, like a lightbulb which is either on, or its off, so AGREED, it is NOT FALSE DICHOTOMY.

    But to use that as a basis to justify FALSE DICHOTOMY for COMPLEX ISSUES facing our nation is ABSOLUTELY and UNEQUIVACABLY FALSE BY DEFINITION.

    He, like all others with this message, make sure you don't question it by FEEDING a moral dilemma any moral person would feel uncomfortable questioning.

    Look, its simple.

    1. Their "logical, moral, et al" correct POV is the "non disinformation".

    2. Their "correct POV" is rife with connotation, to ensure no one will be able to identify with the opposite, and for good reason.. I wouldn't, myself, nor the conservatives that these opposite POVs are pinned on in the news, identify with the opposite.

    NO ONE agrees with the opposite.

    3. Anyone who doesn't go along with "non-disinformation" correct POV, is spreading "disinformation" by default, as if their opposing argument is the ONLY way to see anything.

    But this presupposes only options are "agree with what is right" or agree with "what is false"

    %%%%%%%%%

    Why don't they want you to consider other factors in the equation; OR that factors involved in the "correct POV" have no relevant factors to be discussed in terms of proof and conflicting data?

    %%%%%%%%%

    And WHY do they use "experts" POV

    1. as if they can't be bought and paid for, just like in court cases?

    2. as if they have no partisanship conflicts, especially in light of how identity politics have invaded almost all aspects of our lives?

    3. as if they never buy into the same fallacy as the public, only being experts in their field, may not be aware?

    4. as if there aren't other experts whose conclusions may have better arguments?

    5. as if there aren't examples that the public can see for themselves (i.e. Georgia voting laws)?

    6. as if anyone who offers proof of another way to interpret facts, is a conspiracy theorist ?

    7. as if questioning the motives of someone with another way to interpret facts, justifies not having to have a conversation about the merits of each pov?

    8. as if its not EASY for the media to smear someone in the name of "disinformation" if the media convinces you its not PROPAGANDA

    THAT's what propaganda IS!!! There is only ONE way to look at something, and you are wrong, bad, immoral, stupid, conspiracy theorist, et al if you don't.

  2. All this higher technology will be disappear soon 👎👎👎👎

  3. What a man Biden! a kind of Putin, now beginning to generate consensus to close social networks. Consider also that it is not more possible to put even more filters that lead users make impossible to leave genuine comments only for certain keywords that ban it.

  4. Let corporations have total control over freedom of speech and let them decide what is true and a lie.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  5. Because the repugnicon stance is WRONG in every way, morally, Christian values, Humanly, Civility, Democracy

  6. เพราะมาก

  7. Blue Anon and their Russian Interference conspiracy theories have been running rampant for 4 years. Let's be real.

  8. This is the guy whose platform allowed Trump to say things without impunity and instigating a riot… four years without limiting his speech. Jack, for all his money, looks like a bum living in a cardboard box in a nondescript city…
