Given your history on this forum, forgive me if I don’t believe that you’d have this level of indifference if it were a left leaning oxe being gored.

It would irk me more if the first article censored something about marijuana legalization or another cause I believe in, but it really was only a matter of time. Also, nobody on the right listened when Warren was saying we need to regulate big tech.

[sioux rube]

John Evans, president of the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association, told Fox News that Biden's suggestion is "absolutely ridiculous" and "incredibly ignorant."

"The guy's clueless," Evans said. "And I know he's just trying to appease his left-wing base but it's a really foolish statement."

So what would happen to Twitter and Facebook following this if it were up to you?

Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller claims T will be less combative toward Biden during TV debate this week.
Does that mean instead of the MAX interuptions, T will have a few less?

Ahh, pobrecito.

Trump will likely ask about Hunter’s laptop. We know Welker won’t!

It would have happened after the 2016 election, but what exactly I'm not sure. That's the question that decides the course of humanity at this point.

Hadn't logged on to Facebook in years until recently for a story about homelessness in Santa Monica linked to a Facebook page documenting it, and the first thing I saw was the page was actually based in the Philippines or another SE Asian country. Labelling where the group is based is a good start, but I'm not sure when that started. Hopefully the moment it was discovered so many patriot/BLM/Antifa groups were foreign disinformation.

The NY Post story doesn't have reliable sources.

Post:
Was tipped off by Steve Bannon.
Emails from a hard drive were handed over by Giuliani who has worked with a Russian agent in Ukraine to smear Biden.
Sean Hannity's past producer helped co-write the stories for the Post.
Giuliani goes to FOX to try spead the rumors.
T tweets and tweets. Same old $h[t. Talk up someone else's untruths, knowing it's completely false. That's our P boys/girls, take off the blinders. 

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-anatomy-of-the-new-york-post-s-dubious-hunter-biden-story/ar-BB1a9rGs?ocid=msedgdhp
Yet the story behind the story is a familiar one: 

CNN hasn't been able to authenticate emails and the New York Post declined to comment.

"This is a classic example of the right-wing media machine," Stelter said. "Fox and Trump have this in common: They want you to stay mad and stay tuned."

The story is a "manufactured scandal," Stelter said, meant to feed "whataboutism" -- an opportunity for the right-wing media to shift the conversation from Trump's record to Biden's.

"The strategy is to deflect attention, to attack the opponent, and the same propaganda pipeline is there all the time," said Yochai Benkler, a professor at Harvard Law School told Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday.

Benkler noted that when Hillary Clinton's emails, and the FBI investigation into her handling of classified information that ultimately recommended no charges, and the Clinton foundation became the subject of right-wing media talking points, serious journalists dug into her emails.

"I think, this time, unlike what we saw with Clinton, where serious journalists fell for the Bannon-produced Clinton Foundation nonsense trivially, where serious journalists dug into the e-mails, and Gallup shows us, the only thing people thought about when they thought about Clinton was e-mails and foundation," Benkler said.

Right-wing media is trying for the same strategy again as Election Day grows closer.

But unlike previous "closing argument" stories, the media world has largely ignored the Post's Hunter Biden story.

"They're so confident that the story's just going to be too much fun for serious journalists not to pick up," Benkler said. "They're trying to produce it now, but the media at the moment -- major professional media -- doesn't seem to be falling for it."

That might be because the details of the story have been denied by a credible former Joe Biden staffer and the Biden campaign, and US authorities are investigating whether the emails are part of an ongoing Russian disinformation effort.

Let me know when the Biden campaign and/or family deny the laptop is Hunter's and the authenticity of the emails.

This plays on a loop in Joe Biden’s head.

What is sad is the debate commission has a variety of news outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, PBS, NPR, USA Today and others  to choose a moderator from and going back to at least 1984, other than the late Tim Russert have been unable to find one who has an ounce of journalistic integrity and the ability to at least feign being unbiased.

So, all those news organizations don't have one person that meets whatever bizarre standards that the cult has for a debate moderator..

Of course, this is so very true under your little tin foil hats.

And, you and the rest of the folks that would qualify for your little circle jerk aren't the problem. 

I'm just glad to know that your kind are a minority in our United States of America.

Now, carry on praising Dear Leader.  You time is limited.

Nobody had significant issues with the format before; this includes Reagan, HWB, Dole, GWB, McCain and Romney.   

Hmmm..  funny that it's only become an issue now that "Call the Wambulance" Donny starts complaining.  And, of course, the Cult follows the leader.

People trying to.pass themselves off as health care professionals and spread misinformation should not only be blocked on social media platforms, but should be subject to potential malpractice lawsuits.

NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter blocked a post Sunday from an adviser to President Donald Trump who suggested that masks do not work to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Scott Atlas, who joined the White House in August as a science adviser, had tweeted “Masks work? NO,” and said widespread use of masks is not supported.

The tweet violated a Twitter policy that prohibits sharing false or misleading misinformation about COVID-19 that could lead to harm, a company spokesperson said. The policy bans statements that have been confirmed to be false or misleading by experts such as public health authorities.

.....and then Rudy comes out a few days ago and says this.  And no, it's not an Onion headline.

New York Post Insiders Slag ‘Very Flimsy’ Hunter Biden Stories

The New York Post’s own journalists say they are skeptical of the paper’s stories about Hunter Biden, including the man who wrote most of the “smoking gun” story and would not put his name on it, four newsroom sources told Intelligencer.

Completely untrue. It has been brought up to some extent every 4 years for over 30 years. It isn't new. 

[UNDlaw80]

Just looked up Rudy Giuliani's history.    He was married to his second cousin.    

No wonder he finds commonality with the Trump Cult.

kiWow.... must have been the vikes game but you boys sure got into the shrooms hard tonight eh?!

Quite the coincidence ya'll post batshit crazy at the same times, all together, everytime. Coincidentally, of course.

 

Kinda like how Hunter Biden Coincidentally, ended up with massive amounts of money.

[UNDlaw80]

Sen. Ron Johnson (from my home state) is now insinuating that child porn is on Hunter’s laptop.  As if the original story wasn't fishy enough.     Man alive, the Trumpsters are sparing no expense no matter how outrageous it gets.   Reeks of classic GRU activity.

So this begs the question.  How the hell would Ron Johnson know what's on this supposed 'laptop'?   Oh wait, here he is with Andriy Telizhenko, one of Giuliani's shady pro-Kremlin Ukrainian contacts.

So your issue isn't with the contents of the laptop but rather your issue is that it was found.....typical.
