yes he’s stirring the pot. doesn’t mean it’s not a big story. same question to you. you’re ok with politicians telling media to bury stories to influence an election? is that why we have freedom of the press and freedom of speech?

twitter cancelled the new york posts twitter account, for posting a story that twitter now says was accurate. isn’t that the definition of censorship?

Jim, you discredit your own argument, how can a social media entity censor the New York post story when the New York post itself has paper circulation an online version in which the story was clearly evident to anybody who wish to read it

And thousands of other quasi-media or actual media, people ran the story anyway on their own platforms

clearly you’re confusing freedom of speech and freedom of the press, because none of it was curtailed by any government agency or force of law

In a desperate attempt to make something stick

wayne, twitter can bury it on twitter. more people
are in twitter than dead the post.

this is why the left did what they did. I do t think for a second it changed the outcome of the election. But it helped

Now come the hearings, and if the gop has any spine whatsoever, Bidens impeachment.

yes wayne, many outlets ran the story. fox did. but twitter and facebook refused. and look at the numbers of people in twitter and facebook.

But trump!!!’

so when dorsey said it was a “total
mistake” to ban the story, he’s lying that they banned it?

When Zuckerberg told seth rogan that facebook banned the story because the FBI warned them if russian disinformation regarding hunter biden, zuckerberg is lying?

the tweets that musk shared that showed twitter executives communicating with the DNC and with Bidens team, those are all fake?

one of us is a dupe all right. is it the one who praises and criticizes both sides? or is it the one who says the same exact thing 100% of the time? which is more likely the dupe?

You're misleading and lying, those were not Zuckerbergs words.


Remember the Biden CAMPAIGN could do that without violating the First Amendment, the Trump ADMINISTRATION could not.

See the difference???????

Zuckerberg also said the FBI didn’t warn them specifically about the Hunter Biden story. This is even in the video Jim posted a while ago that he’s too lazy to watch. Duped.

I saw him say "he couldn't recall" if they specifically warned him about Hunter.

Twitter executives say they were warned specifically about stories related to Hunter.

Twitter's former head of integrity, Yoel Roth:

"I also learned in these meetings that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden"
