This media manipulation should trouble all Americans. It won't because most have been lulled into a stupor and are content to watch makeup tutorials on Youtube and gossip about celebrities by the same media companies, but it should.

If conservatives are so frightened by Google, it should only make sense that they opposed Citizens United and supported net neutrality. But they did neither, because they assumed big business would always be on their side.

Conservatives, it's not too late to change your mind and support campaign finance reform and net neutrality!

People seek their own level. It's child's play to control your own newsfeed on FB. If people can't manage that, their opinion is only what someone feeds them.

FINALLY some politicians are stepping up against these cancerous cultural marxists. Josh Hawley (Senator) is another politician I have a newfound respect for for speaking out about these communists.



So without any street cred, Hawley's bill will die aborning.


Other than Ted Cruz who hasn't found any low hanging fruit he didn't use to elevate his image, there is radio silence from both parties on this issue.



Who are the politicians "stepping up against these cancerous cultural marxists"? Hawley and Eliz. Warren?



There should be a Marvel comic about the invincibility of the BIG DONOR.


Although when you think about it, it's Congress' job to keep the public in the dark under a load of compost.

Default Movie City of Ember

In the movie The City of Ember, the mayor played by Bill Murray, is in crisis, so instead of doing something, the mayor appoints a committee to investigate the problem and make recommendations.


Despite Trump's prior comments evidencing that he is well aware of the impact of Google and Twitter's political interference, instead of actually doing something, Trump is going to host a social media sit down.


Wtf?



America loves an underdog. Maybe Trump's inaction on this and other matters is his way of winning the vote.
