If you’re stupid enough to believe any of the outlandish bullshyt that “the media” broadcasts, then that’s on you.

This stopped being a viable talking point when stupid people ran up in the Capitol last week.

You're acting like these lunatics exist in a bubble totally cut off from "normal" people. They don't. They're sipping the Kool Aide and plotting terrorist attacks.

I don’t think they should be “censored”.

But they should be held accountable for what they put out there.

If they are purposely putting out lies and it results in one of their viewers being harmed or harming someone, then they should have to answer for that.

This hasn’t been a viable point way before then. With shyt like the willie horton ad, the welfare queen and lies about Obama’s birth certificate being pushed In the media. All of these things have been pushed by conservatives with horrible consequences.

Yeah I'm saying if nothing else killed that talking point, last week should've been the final nail in the coffin.

Why would you argue for censorship on the Coli when you know that 90% of Black folk ain't into your White Supremacist leaders? :gucci:

Your alt-right misinformation is repeatedly bushed here, including whole threads. :mjlol:

You weren't posting "news". You posted a propaganda effort that I proved to you was organized by the GOP, entirely funded by a group called "Tea Party Patriots", and broadcast exclusively by the White Nationalists at Brietbart Media. And even after I proved that to you and showed you how much disinformation was in the bullshyt you were promoting, you STILL claimed over and over that it was a legitimate honest broadcast that they were doing out of the goodness of their hearts.

In the other thread I was able to list 30 different right-wing conspiracy theories that you've pushed hundreds of times. And you just juelzed away. When are you gonna realize that these people aren't looking out for your interests?


I'M INDEPENDENT.

Farrakhan is an alt right white wing extremist ?

Tariq Nasheed, Cynthia McKinney , Boyce Watkins, Rizza Islam, Afri Synergy, Tim Black are far right alt right Conservative Republicans????
  • I have whole threads and dozens of posts on these individuals

You cherry pick comments to fit a narrative and ATTEMPT Mis-characterization:gucci:

You can call the tooth fairy right wing...doesn't make it so

You think Black people are monolithic drones? And don't question anything?

Malcolm already addressed this shyt

Stop Deflecting! Stay on topic answer the question...is this what DNC Cult Members voted for.... AOC shiitting on 1st Amendment???

It’s in no ones interest to censor free expression and trash the first amendment. Regardless of who is doing the talking.

The reality is you are a cynic who does not believe that good ideas naturally win over bad ones. Your bearish view of humans as unthinking robots is what leads to calls for censorship and authoritarianism. Would you rather we be like China then?

Let people battle it out with WORDS peacefully through the marketplace of ideas and stop supporting censorship because you are scared of a few white supremacists.

Pure bytchmade logic

She didn't say anything about trashing the first amendment. With our extremely conservative Supreme Court, that shouldn't be a worry for you at all. So kill that talking point.

No one is talking about "ideas". We're talking about facts. It is already well proven that in the current environment, true facts do not win over false ones in the public sphere. Hundreds of millions of people are incapable of knowing the difference when their social media and conservative media environment tells them the lies.

AOC says Congress may form commission to ‘rein in’ media after Capitol riot
By Ebony Bowden

January 13, 2021 | 12:57pm

WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed that Congress is looking into creating an investigative commission to “rein in” the media in the wake of the US Capitol siege.

During a lengthy Instagram Live on Tuesday evening where she revealed that she feared for her life during the siege, the “Squad” member accused the mainstream media of “spewing disinformation” ahead of the deadly riot in which five people died.

“There’s absolutely a commission that’s being discussed but it seems to be more investigating in style rather than truth and reconciliation,” she said.

“I do think that several members of Congress in some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is part of what happened here,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went on.

“We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation,” she said.

“It’s one thing to have differentiating opinions, but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false, so that’s something that we’re looking into.”

Damn I really can't fukk with her anymore. She became an Establishment Democrat before Biden was even sworn in. SMH!

You would think it would be easy just to say I disagree with AOC on this particular point.

But they can't do that simple bit of critical objective thinking . ..hence why I call them cult members.:francis:
