ALL CAPITALS BECAUSE THATS HOW YOU LIKE YOUR COMMUNICATION!!!

"CONSERVATIVE" IDEOLOGY IS NOT BEING FILTERED OUT FROM ALGORITHM'S, HATE SPEECH IS! UNDER THE AGE OF TRUMP, HATE HAS BECOME THE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM SO THE ALGORITHMS ARE CATCHING IT MORE AND MORE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE AN ORGANIZATION RUN BY PEOPLE, THEY MAY TAKE PERSONAL VIEWS AGAINST A LEADER WHO PROPAGATES HATE!! CRAZY!!

Side note. If you do not like how these companies run their platforms, then do not use them. There are other video hosting platforms out there. There are other search platforms out there. 

But hey, Zavala and all

Yeah, I like how conservatives think they are being censored by the leftist social media companies, yet the only reason their orange God is in the WH house is because of fake news spread by Russian bots and conservatives on...wait for it...social media.

Fucking hilarious you are still beating this drum, how fucking terrible is your platform if $100K and 3000 ads over more than a year "gave" Trump the election.  Denial is thick.  Why didn't Hill spend $200,000! and have 3000 ads?  This and your Russian spy strawman have been proven bullshit

 

“One question that has emerged is whether there’s a connection between the Russian efforts and ads purchased on Facebook,” Alex Stamos, Facebook’s Chief Security Adviser, wrote in a statement Wednesday. “In reviewing the ads buys, we have found approximately $100,000 in ad spending from June of 2015 to May of 2017 — associated with roughly 3,000 ads — that was connected to about 470 inauthentic accounts and Pages in violation of our policies. Our analysis suggests these accounts and Pages were affiliated with one another and likely operated out of Russia.”

Well it is fucking sad that you do not understand how social media works and the limited amount of ads you need to spend to have an impact. Make some memes, purchase some sponsorship of those memes, release into the wild, free exposure from then on. Each share or like or whatever (from unknowing participants) provides substantial ROI. THAT has created a disproportionate outcome from little investment of outside nefarious actors and THAT is the type of thing that Silicon Valley has said they want to stop in the future.

There was also the multi-million dollar social media shadow campaign for Trump run by the Russian government and the hijacking of all of our media by the Russian government with stolen emails via Wikileaks. 

And that’s just a fraction of what we know. 

All this is in the Mueller Report but I’m sure you knew that.

Headline-Reuters photo captures Guatemalan mother begging soldier to let her enter U.S.

First sentence of story--Ledy Perez fell to her haunches, a clenched hand covering her face as she wept, an arm clutching her small 6-year-old son, who glared defiantly at the Mexican National Guard soldier blocking them from crossing into the United States.

 

Because we all know that anyone just skimming the headlines is automatically going to assume the soldier is part of the Mexican National Guard.

You know Reuters is not an international news organization don’t you? It was written by a Mexican journalist based in Mexico, and was biased because the nationality of the soldier is not mentioned in the byline, although it is in the the first sentence of the article?

No bias whatsoever here.   

Quote

There’s two takeaways from Mueller that we’re going to use as we go to war.

So there is member of the media saying they are going to war against the president and notice how he doesn't say I, he says we, as in MSNBC.

Quote

Oh, by the way, we’re going to call him “Unindicted Criminal Trump” now because in two instances, he has been an unindicted criminal.

Hey, dumbshit if no one has indicted you you are not a criminal(and technically even if they have you are still not a criminal until you have been convicted of something.)  By this logic Donnie Douche is an unindicted criminal, I am an unindicted criminal, and everyone else here without criminal records are unindicted criminals.

Quote

“We may not have won the battle of impeachment, but we’re going to win the war of putting him in jail — whatever we have to do, and we’re not going to necessarily play fair.”

Hmm, I thought fairness and objectivity were supposed to be cornerstones of professional journalism?

Family separation/cruelty as policy--was policy before Trump was elected.

Telling minorities to go back where they came from--America:  Love it or Leave It, bumper sticker that was around before I was born, was never considered to be fascist ever until about a month ago.

Muslim ban--no such thing that was just what the media called it.  It was actually just going to be a temporary moritoriam on immigrants from a handful of countries until those countries could get their shit together enough to figure out exactly who these immigrants were.

Branding minorities as scapegoats-?

Declaring a national emergency to thwart the will of Congress

Giving comfort to right wing hate groups--not even worth a response, you consider anything right of the Khmer Rouge Historical Society to be right wing.

Labeling U.S. citizens as loyal to other nations--if the shoe fits

Otherism--?

Racism-?  Who is the Secretary of Health and Human Services?  Who was Secretary of Labor?  Who signed the First Step Act?

Sexism-?  Who was the ambassador to the U.N. for the first two years of Trump's presidency?  Who is the current director of the C.I.A.?

Misogyny-not a personality trait you would want highlighted on your resume but it has nothing to do with fascism.

The list goes on, and on, and on.--in your mind but not in reality

Someone doesn't understand what opinion shows are.

 

The Fox News thread could use this insight as well. It's the thing I hate most when people argue against the "mainstream media lies" and "fox news is the devil" crowd.

Media Bias Is Real, Finds
a UCLA-Led Study

Of the 20 major media outlets studied,18 scored left of center

While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper's news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media. Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.
