FAKE NEWS!
It would be nice if major news outlets would do the same....ABC News
ABC is trash
I think... Their request or calling should be allowed....
Don't you mean their being adked censor conservative, factual information that damages the liberal narrative and challenges Democrat lies?
Unless democrats are the ones doing it, am I right?
What is the true purpose of that few groups? Is there anything wrong with being exposed?
So in other words, anything that doesn't promote Democrats should be outlawed?
George Soros approved
Wow. That's what we need....social media CEOs deciding what is good information, and what is bad. This must be stopped with new laws governing those businesses. I don't normally support government intervention in private business, but this is too important to our survival.
Hey would this be a good time to ask when you plan on apologizing for that last disinfo spin on joe Bidens son? All the hookers and blow and money laundering though that you covered for.
Yeah, ban the Hunter Biden story again. We don’t need the media to arbitrate. Get lost please. The media was telling us vaccines stop the spread for 9 months. Please stop!
Basically, keep on censoring anyone with damaging information on the Demcrats like they did last election.
Here’s some news you should check out. California is sending ballots out of state to people who haven’t lived there in last 3 years! Don’t they have any idea how to remove people who have moved? They are literally using the out of state address as destination 🤦♂️KTVU KPIXtv
Who will judge those who judge the information?
Yes, more power for big tech lol
We must fight the lies of miss information.
Why not just ban all political ads. They are full of distorted facts
