You neglect to mention that the left-wing is the truth teller.

When you choose to battle with facts, don't be surprised when you get censored.

How strange then that President Trump and Congress gave all those "far left progressive Democrat" corporations a permanent tax cut.

You would think that they would have done the opposite to stop those dangerous leftist corporations and corporate leaders from taking over America.

Gee, that is a real head-scratcher.

I know many right-wingers are accustomed to site like this one where they can post any fake news and lies and get away with it.

But not all social media sites work this way. Many, like Facebook, actually have the resource to fact-check your post and can remove it if it is outrageously fake.

The bottom line is, the real world is getting less and less tolerant of right-wing fake news. Sorry to have to break it to you guys.

That rings of Fascism, bordering on Authoritarian Totalitarian Communism.

Google, Inc., isn't just the world's biggest purveyor of information; it is also the world's biggest censor.

The company maintains at least nine different blacklists that impact our lives, generally without input or authority from any outside advisory group, industry association or government agency. Google is not the only company suppressing content on the internet. Reddit has frequently been accused of banning postings on specific topics, and a recent report suggests that Facebook has been deleting conservative news stories from its newsfeed, a practice that might have a significant effect on public opinion – even on voting. Google, though, is currently the biggest bully on the block.

NEW YORK, July 13, 2016: The renowned human rights organization the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI)’s legal counsel, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), is filing a federal lawsuit today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) under the First Amendment.

AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “Every day I received emails from readers and members of my various Facebook groups, asking for help after having been blocked for posting a story or comment that might offend Muslims. This is America, not Saudi Arabia. Enough. I am suing. For years, I have documented the outrageous bias of Facebook’s speech policies. Notoriously one-sided, those who oppose jihad terror, support Israel and stand against the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth (sharia) have been systematically blocked and banned.”

Shutting down the conservative message? I have no problem with that.

If you don't want to be censored, don't spread fake news. It shouldn't be that hard to understand.

All this talk of fascism smack of whining.

Yes, Google is making it difficult for people like you to spread fake news.

If you think that's fascist, so be it.

Wow that's a lot of scary "isms" you got there, bent.

So, in order to avoid the "isms" you mentioned we have to allow lies and disinformation to be passed off as legitimate news now?
