Enemy of the People

[0nelilreb]

LaCosta says his life was in danger at the last rally. Claims the media is not the enemy.

I don't know, you call supporters toothless, racist, white supremacists that hate black people and hope immigrants die. Then he is surprised they are upset with him when he covers their rally. Really????[/QUOTE

And then goes on to have interviews with the same people he says endangered his life ?
Jimmy is an attention whore , plain and simple .

Censorship of content in the USA is BAD and a very slippery slope .. there’s no such thing as hate speech and you have the right to use words to hurt someone’s feelings or bolster them .

You know when you say "I miss George W Bush" without laughing, it's really, really bad.

Then you can't be taken seriously on much of anything if that is the case. You have no moral compass.

Did you vote for Trump?

Lucky bastard. I could only do it in Tennessee and Arkansas.

If you promise not to tell...…...the Russians helped register me in Florida and North Carolina. Shhhhh…..

Did you vote for Trump?

I didn't vote at all. None of the candidates (including 3rd parties) were appealing to me.

You sure do bitch a lot about it for not voting. Most would think you've lost the right to complain.
George W Bush>>Trump My moral compass tells me that.

"Most" are idiots for saying that. Because if my choices are "bad" and "worse" and "absurd" then we as a nation have failed and have every right to complain about it.

SIAP. But love the fact some in the DNC are open about silencing different views and openly attacking people's First Amendment.

I'd love to see the additional list of sites Murphy would like to censor.

Sen. Chris Murphy calls for more Silicon Valley censorship: 'Survival of our democracy depends on it'

‘Survival of our democracy’ depends on banning sites like InfoWars, Dem senator says

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is calling on other tech companies to ban more sites like InfoWars, and says the survival of American democracy depends on it.

“Infowars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart. These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival of our democracy depends on it,” Murphy tweeted Monday.

I voted all three times in Florida. Drove down to Wasserman Shitz's district. No ID required. Easy Peasy.

I'm with you on the abstaining from vote.

Yet another reason I love the net. Nothing ever goes away...

The Media Is Encouraging Violence Against Themselves

The media keeps claiming that President Trump is encouraging violence against them. But the media are not the true victims here, and they will largely have themselves to blame if violence does befall them.

Talking about Trump, MSNBC's Katy Tur said last Friday: "Yeah, we get it, you don't like us. Fine. But do you have to put our lives in danger?"

Does this seem like he's worried about the crowd?

He was so scared he literally did anything they told him to do..

Here put this hat on, now dance, be a little tea pot...

You (in a general sense) have a right to free speech, but there is no obligation on the part of the press (or social media) to provide you with a platform. That's not censorship.

But denying you the use of the platform is

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Is anyone really surprised at FB? Zuckerberg is a liberal. That said, he and FB have no obligation to provide AJ or anybody else with a platform. Does it feed into the "liberals are intolerant" mantra? Absolutely. Is it censorship? I don't think it is. It's a business decision.

I understand what you are saying on a certain level, but hear me out.

I agree that one company or entity acting unfavorably to a customer is their right. However, when a group of companies for a lack of a better term "conspire" against a customer, now you are looking at the acts of a cartel... esp. in this case where the argument can be made that these companies are the major players in social media that are acting in unison to restrict access to one person.

There is a case to be made that you need some anti-trust legislation to prevent this from happening.

From my perspective...

I do not like restrictions on free speech. This, however, is not a free speech issue. This is an example of a company protecting itself from lawsuits. Infowars is absolute garbage. Anyone that buys into anything said on Alex Jones' radio show is mentally deficient. However, some of the idiots that tune in believe what he says is true and act upon it. Remember the idiot who went to the Sandy Hook anniversary and harassed all the parents telling them that there kids weren't dead? It is not much of a leap to see someone hurting someone that Jones has accused of pedophilia or whatever. You Tube was aware of the lies spread by Jones. They were aware that his followers are mentally ill and now they have knowledge that they will act on AJ's shtick. It wouldn't be a shock to see a jury buying into that argument and nailing a Yahoo to the wall.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Imagine the hand wringing there'd be if Huffpo, the Guardian, Young Turks, Washington post ect were banned from all platforms and denied access to payment processors, there'd be no talk of platforms are free to ban any content against their TOS, its not a 1st amendment issue then.

I don't know anything about info wars other than what I se referenced here, but you are saying literally everything they say is misinformation, or incorrect?

I imagine that he has some things that are true on his show, but by and large it is conspiracy theory garbage.
