Media Bias

[pErvinalia]

Since the 'very fine people' lie is such a CLEAR media-pushed lie

Have both sides identified it as fake news? No? Mustn't be fake news then.

None, but this could provide a fun exercise.

So, just a lame attempt at humour, no attempt at arguing the serious points I made.

As per usual.

What serious points?
You asked what I disagreed with.

None.

As one erstwhile member might have said: it's not a point of view, it's a socratic dialogue - and if you pissant libruls didn't always have your heads up your arses you know that!

A pseudo-Socratic monologue, more like...

Another far left friend got a warning on Facebook. It's almost as if political affiliation has nothing to do with it...

Wait for the Facebook law courts. 1984 is coming. America will be run by the ACME corporation before long.

OK Galaxian.

pErvinalia, since all your opinions are 'facebook-approved', you won't have to worry about your opinions getting you in trouble.

If I got all political on facebook I'd probably get banned as well. I only post wombat videos these days.

If you purely took a theoretical Marxist approach, I doubt you would. If, however, you issued a call to the barricades, and called for your local politicians to be hung from lampposts, then you probably would...

The media isn't biased. These hard-hitting journalists prove it!

This is the journalism you get when there are no more mean tweets to write about.

Oh boy. A blank slate, nearly ready for more free and unfettered discussion of, you know, things.

'Social media app Parler crawls back online on "independent technology"'

Parler, a social media service popular with American right-wing users that virtually vanished after the U.S. Capitol riot, re-launched on Monday and said its new platform was built on “sustainable, independent technology.”

In a statement announcing the relaunch, Parler also said it had appointed Mark Meckler as its interim Chief Executive, replacing John Matze who was fired by the board this month.

Parler went dark after being cut off by major service providers that accused the app of failing to police violent content related to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by followers of then-U.S. President Donald Trump.

Despite the relaunch, the website was still not opening for many users and the app was not available for download on mobile stores run by Apple and Alphabet-owned Google, which had earlier banned the app.

While several users took to rival Twitter to complain they were unable to access the service, a few others said they could access their existing account.

... user accounts were still there in the new platform but posts, images and videos were wiped.

Parler and CloudRoute did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

“Parler is being run by an experienced team and is here to stay,” said Meckler, who had co-founded the Tea Party Patriots, a group that emerged in 2009 within the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement and helped elect dozens of Republicans.

It is also backed by hedge fund investor Robert Mercer, his daughter Rebekah Mercer and conservative commentator Dan Bongino.
