I hope OP doesn't forget to drink his ovaltine.
Yup, I was agreeing and provided the link for context since the OP just posted a screenshot of the headline.

I know many conservatives are astounded by this - but it's not difficult to figure out facts from fiction. Normal people do this every day.

Conservatives, you can do it too if you guys keep practicing.

I am not a right winger. I do believe in the 1st amendment and if you let a couple of corporations decide what people can say and assimilate puts one on a slippery slope. Just because you believe they are better than Trump on that does not make them worthy of carte blanche.



Put on your liberal thinking cap and really see this for what it is.

You're right, but the same is true of the NYT, NBC, CNN, etc.

Oh please, do share where you get your 110% NON filtered, unbiased news, we're all dying to know. Really. Do tell. Because 99% of your posts sound like regurgitated far right wing talking points to anyone that pays attention. So please, enlighten us, what sources do you scour to come up with your one sided view of the world?

Do you see where CNN is calling for Google and Apple to take down apps?

Think hard about your answer.

No, 98% of people can't think independently. Humans are a social animal, and it's natural for us to trust our authority figures, so most people just accept what they hear from authoritative sources. The problems is that a hostile faction took over our societal information sources and has used them to harm us for decades. And their lies work on almost everyone, through no fault of the victims.

facts rarely have a liberal bias, keep enjoying your fairyland & kool-aid though.

That network has been caught red-handed so many times pushing fake news and propaganda "because its ratings"
