Damn! If only there were other internet sites where I could ignore his speech. :irate:

Going by how much of Trump's shit is available I am convinced they are not even trying.

Oh, there is no question that they are trying. Veritas catches the blue-anon/corporate media regularly.

Twitter allows the hashtag uncletim to trend awhile.

https://nypost.com/2021/04/29/sen-tim-s ... -rebuttal/
Twitter allowed a racial slur about Sen. Tim Scott, the only black Republican senator, to trend on its site for 12 hours as he was attacked as an “Uncle Tim” for saying “America is not a racist country”
Nope. No bias in media shown there. Twitter is a private company, and can call anyone anything they want to. By allowing an insult to trend, or banning unflattering voices.

Yeah, they should have got to it sooner. What sort of response time for the censors to pull on their jackboots and get around to stomping down the bad words? Six hours? Still seems too long. Two hours? C'mon, this is the digital age--an hour is an immense eternity. Though I suppose an hour is reasonable, eh? Twelve hours is waaay too long. :smoke:

Meanwhile back at the comedy corral-- Newsmax has publicly apologised to one of the officers of Dominion Voting Systems. The rest of the settlement agreement they've signed is not public, but it seems likely to include handing over a stack of simoleons.

'Newsmax settles a defamation lawsuit from a Dominion executive at the center of election conspiracy theories and issues an apology'
An executive at Dominion Voting Systems moved to dismiss Newsmax as a defendant in a defamation lawsuit Friday after reaching a settlement with the right-wing media organization.

It's the first such settlement from a news organization in a defamation lawsuit filed over 2020 election conspiracy theories.

The lawsuit, filed by Dominion's head of product strategy and security Eric Coomer, is among several filed over false claims that election technology companies like Dominion rigged the election against former president Donald Trump and in favor of now-President Joe Biden.

Coomer sued Newsmax in December in state court in Colorado over false claims that he took part in an "Antifa conference call" to rig the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump. He revised his lawsuit in February to bolster his claims against Newsmax, as Insider previously reported.

On Friday, Newsmax issued a retraction and apology on its website saying it found "no evidence" that earlier claims about Coomer and the 2020 election were true.

"There are several facts that our viewers should be aware of. Newsmax has found no evidence that Dr. Coomer interfered with Dominion voting machines or voting software in any way, nor that Dr. Coomer ever claimed to have done so," the statement reads. "Nor has Newsmax found any evidence that Dr. Coomer ever participated in any conversation with members of 'Antifa,' nor that he was directly involved with any partisan political organization."

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed in the court filings reviewed by Insider. A representative for Coomer declined to comment on the settlement terms. A representative for Newsmax declined to comment and directed Insider to its apology statement.

Oh, there is no question that they are trying.
If that they had "successfully protected weak minds", they would have deleted all video recordings, quotes and transcripts of Trump's speeches, as well as Mitchell McConnell's, Tucker Carlson's and anyone else's who spouts right wing crap.

Well, since this happened at night it's possible the censors were sleeping and didn't catch it until they went into the office at 8 or 9 in the morning and had a cup of coffee. 10 in the morning sounds like a pretty good response time, if that's the case.

I guess they should hire more censors. That won't bother anybody, will it? :coffee:
