Well, right-wing terrorism is a real thing, you never hear about left-wing terrorism unless it’s animal rights or environmental..but people rarely if any get killed, mostly property damage.

Spend some time on a university campus. Tell everyone you meet that you’re a conservative republican. Then come back here and tell us about all the new friends you’ve made.

While I wish that FB was more open, its not "your little place" by any means. They are a private company, you are their product, and they give you a free service that you are free to use/not use. You are under no obligation to use them, and in fact I'd suggest that anyone blindly accepting their FB news feed as actual news is doing themselves a HUGE disservice.

Same with antifa the right wingers are all so terrified of they break a few windows a few get arrested and thats that. Conservative terrorists have planted bombs in the US and even run over peaceful left wing activists in Charlottesville.

The landlord stole your furniture and appliances, when the rent was paid way ahead of time.

I'm confused...

Some Righties on this site are claiming, over and over again, that guys like Rushbo and Hannity are NOT news.

Now you seem to be saying that "conservative" news should have equal time......FORCED BY BIG GUBMENT...onto corporations.

Can you state in plain English what you want?
Should Scientology have equal weight on Facebook?
I'd say the answer is...if Zuck is a Scientologist, he can do that.

As even Righties agree, educated people tend liberal. Therefore, writers and journalists tend liberal. Period.

Sure, there are plenty of educated paid-off conservatives who entertain us based on what their sponsors tell them to do (Tucker, Hannity, etc.). But, by and large, when you educate a person about history and the world, they will tend to be reasonable (what conservatives may call liberal).

Basically, most valuable Silicon Valley and Boston companies would lean liberal (educated). Since tech represents a big share of our current lives, you have a choice.....turn off the interweb or listen to Hate Radio and TV....or accept that educated people have won the places as economic top dogs.

You certainly can't change that. I mean, what are you going to do? Insist Larry the Cable Guy and Hannity sit on the BOD at FB?

No, you should do what Righties always talk about....don't use the services and products you don't like. Turn the channel. Easy-Peasy.

I support anything that is anti-fascist. Of course, if someone is doing illegal things under the guise of being anti-fascist, I don't support them...

But I definitely will send money to orgs that legally challenge fascists. I would hope any red blooded American would do the same.
