The same could be said of CNN 90% of the time. MSM circularly-validated conspiracy theories and narratives don't equate to an "opposing view" that is different from spam / trolling.

All the right-wing has to do is stick to facts and they'd be in the clear, but they've been lying to everyone (including themselves) for so long that they have trouble telling facts from their own imagination. That's not the tech's problem though.

We'll come back to you when CNN is gone. Once all the lies are removed the only thing left is their embarrassment.

For me that is troubling. You are fine with corporations making these decisions.

I tell you what, the two large multi-national corporations certainly do a better job of filtering out fake news than the entire executive branch and the entire Republican party combined.

This is a right-winger's wet dream of letting private businesses run things. Don't bail on me now.

It's not CNN's fault that facts has a liberal bias.

Here is the link.

https://money.cnn.com/2018/08/06/tec...gle/index.html

I see nothing in there of CNN itself saying that they have to drop the apps. Google owns YouTube, so the article says the Play Store still has the app. If anything, it's more like calling out Apple and Google for being wishy washy or hypocritical in some aspects or something like that. But hey. I guess I dont have the CNN decoder ring.

Yeah, they filter it right on out into their websites and tell you what they want you to believe and you fall for it and call it truth.
