So FB, Apple, and others have pulled the mic on AJ and InfoWars.

Now a sitting US Senator (one of Jim's favorites ; ) ) tweets this in response (see below). Not a good look for a sitting US Senator

Murphy is not my kind of guy. He criticizes these groups for tearing our nation apart, yet accuses you of supporting mass infanticide if you aren't in favor of repealing the second amendment.

He is a child, a baby, in the body of a US Senator.

Info wars 1a Right have not been affected ... Private company's have decided to not allow them to use their platform to spread their message

they are free to develop a platform of their own if they wish.. Have they been removed from radio and TV ?

But no issue when Trump call the media the enemy of the people


This story and others like shadow blocking or American Christians under Attack’ or plastic ban Straw outrage ... Is Just typical Conservative Fear mongering and conspiracy theories


Ted Cruz defends Alex Jones’ free speech; praises Trump for having `permanently unmasked the media’

QAnon, the scarily popular pro-Trump conspiracy theory,
Roseanne Barr, formerly the star of the No. 1 show on network television, is just one of Q’s biggest supporters.

And the conspiracy theory is being pushed by some of the far right’s biggest voices, including Alex Jones and Sean Hannity.

When a sitting US Senator praises the operation of Private Companies in taking people - even crackpots - off those platforms and says more must be done - yes, that IS an attack on 1A. Thye subtlety might have been lost here, FB and Apple did not impact 1A but when a US Senator calls for it it is an attack on Free Speech and the 1A. I would think you would be able to spot the difference

Trumps treatment overall of the Press is disturbing. The Press' use of BIAS and poor reporting is also disturbing. Both can be bad and called out.

You mean like the NRA kills kids?

Some media deserve to be in the spotlight, it is not binary.

WTF is Qanon? Like Antifa of SRA?

Both of them are fools and tools, now call out the same fools and tools from the left.

Interesting point - individuals? You mean like Michael Moore? Susan Sarandon? They might be AJ level crazy and MM is certainly AJ level opportunistic.

Organizations, that is easy, like Vox and Slate

Couple interesting opinion pieces from bastions of Conservative Militia thought, NRO and NYT

I can't recall a single thing Sarandon has ever said. Not saying she hasn't been nutty but off of my radar. As for MM, he's dabbled in conspiracy but most of his stuff is in your face activism. He's a blip that surfaces time and time again but nothing like the consistent crazy you get from AJ and SH who have big daily audiences.

Vox and Slate may be liberal but they're not conspiracy driven.

I've said this many times but the left doesn't have 1/10th of the disinformation machine that the right does. It's not even close.
