    Re: Do you trust the media?

    Its reported that google removed Winston Churchill from a search for British Prime Minister, unfortunately it seems to have been one of those things that happened for only few hours and I missed it.

        BREAKING: US Justice Department To Propose Rolling Back Protections For Big Tech | The Daily WireSection 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, according to The Wall Street JournalDOJ takes aim at Section 230, tech liability shieldnew billdifferent approach to Section 230 reform last year with a proposal that would allow tech companies to win back Seems like a pretty good/ easy idea! Just Prove that you are neutral and you can have your protections.


        Seems google shouldn't have gone and attacked "the competition" for NBC. This could change things in a very big way for social media platforms, search engines, news sites, and others that feed/ thrive off of the comments, and number of clicks for add revenue, from the public. Not to mention how it will affect everyday users like you and I (suppression of speech), you won't see NEARLY the amount of posts on social media and such, because they will have to be removed for fear of the platform being sued or held liable. This goes for Right and Left ideology and all that jazz too. So hopefully Big Tech does the right thing, and starts stepping in line with the laws.

          I can see where this is going to harm the truth. We all know the 6 families that control the news.. and big tech are going to use it to push their agenda.

              Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping for help in getting reelected
              Bolton described a conversation between the two world leaders at the June 2019 G-20 meeting in Osaka, Japan, where Trump told Xi that Midwestern farmers were key to his reelection in November 2020. Trump urged Xi to buoy his political fortunes by buying American agricultural products, linking a promise to waive some tariffs on China in exchange. Trump "stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome," Bolton wrote.

              Bolton also says that it's hard for him to think of a single decision Trump made during his stint at the White House "that wasn't driven by reelection calculations."

                People with something controversial to say will move away from twatter/facebook and youtube to decentralized services like bitchute, in fact at least one who started on youtube now posts his video's exclusively on bitchute.

                  I personally think the we need the media to go back to what it was before the government removed the fairness doctrine, and revert some of this tribalism that it's removal has spawned.

                    All major news outlets (print-TV-web) are owned by 6 families. Most are uber-liberal, hell even FAUX News is starting to lean left.
                    They like it that way. Notice they all follow the same click phrases.
                    Journalism is dead for the most part... it's now media for 2 different political parties.

                      Just because Fox "news" is starting to call donny boy on some of his lies doesn't mean they are leaning left. It just means there is someone with some integrity working there now. It is nice to see.
                      Fear not, most of their prime time anchors are still irrational right wing nut jobs.

                        Just furthering the point of media/ news not being true reporters of news (unless it fits the current leftist/ democrat narrative).
                        If you're going to call yourself a "News Source", then you should be required to report on ALL news good or bad. This "selective reporting" and the bold-faced Lies have been going on for too long.
                        I remember a time when I was younger where news sources reported ALL the goings-ons. They reported Lefty and Righty news in the same segments. They reported Republican and democrat news in the same segments. They reported things that didn't align with "their views" and also reported on things that fell within their view in the same segments.
                        It's all become One-sided as the article below explains. Why do they have to hide information like this from viewers?? Why can't they just report on what is happening, instead of trying to spin things into something they're not or staying silent on something that might favor, in this instance, conservatives?
                        Most news sources should have that title stripped, because all they offer at this point is a bunch of Opinions, rarely any solid, truthful news.

                        The article below is just one Small example of how Tainted the "news" has become.

                          A new study found that the big networks – ABC, CBS, and NBC – spent nearly 25 minutes covering Supreme Court decisions that were considered wins for liberals and absolutely no time covering the decisions that were considered wins for conservatives. In the past two weeks, the Supreme Court issued six major rulings, three of which were considered positive for conservatives and three that were considered positive for liberals.
                          Maybe you Missed it
                          Or Maybe the President keeps digging his own Grave
                          with all the screwups and corruption.
                          Will be nice to have a President that doesn't Tweet for the next 8 years.

                            Re. USA.
                            Your poor country is f@#$ed.... USA People need to wake on mass an start working toward a common unified goal.
                            Your country's people fall fowl with the "Law-Of-Confusion" and ideology brain tennis, as your congitive awarness is flogged from one side of your brains moral belief system to the other. Your being mentally tormented and deliberately confused on a massive scale by media and other social circles.

                            Focus on one universal scale goal to make a better place for all the worlds people not just your deluded service-to-self arrogant USA ego's.

                            If people are not part of the healthy solution , then they can only be part of the dirty problem.

                            Your country has nuclear and far worse scalar weapons, so your country's political elections are part of the entire worlds problems.

                            Human kind is on the precipice of enslavement, cease attacking one another and start working together on worldy solutions for f#$% sake...

                            <add childish ego here>

                              I trust the media more than I trust President Trump.

                              I trust the media more than I trust any senior person in the White House.

                              I trust the media more than I trust any Republican Senator.

                              I trust the media more than I trust any Republican congressman/ woman.

                              I trust the media more than I trust any Republican Governor.

                                We all know you trust being brainwashed by the liberal media.

                                We all know your distrust in American politics means nothing because..................You don't live here.

                                We all know you embrace socialism and loony liberal ideology.

                                We all know you love to watch the democrats in the U.S. destroying OUR nation (not yours).

                                We all know your bias against conservatives.
