"Anti-American" you're talking about a private company deciding what it does with it's business. It decided enough is enough with the hate from the extreme right. That's the free market at work. The free market and capitalism at work is as American as things get.

And this anti-American tactic of silencing dissenting opinion, or facts that show the wrong with the liberal narrative, is only getting worse.

Uh huh.

Explain this one, if you dare to try.

There are entire subcultures which exist on YouTube and are centered on conspiracy theories, such as the chemtrail and flat earth folks.

How can that be, if they're "getting rid of conspiracy theories"?

People have been spreading that nonsense on YouTube for many years, and it's well known that they're there. Kind of a running joke, really.

If it's not a clear cut case of silencing people for their political opinions, how else do you explain the permanence of these other ideas, as we watch the wholesale elimination of dissenting political opinions on the site?

No, the reason they are trying to block access to conspiracy theories is that, recently, they have had a great record of being confirmed as true -- as in the Time article confirming that there was a conspiracy to rig the election to prevent Trump from winning.

There is no conspiracy aboit it. If you try tomeddle with rich people and thier way if making money, you get thrown out.

Tighten immigration, bring back cash , bring back jobs- this will affect the entire global economy.

Basically trump was against capitalism, if you take the whole world as one economy.

And the ones at MSNBC are journalists? Or leftist CNN?

They are simply expressing a conservative opinion with which you, as a leftist, disagree. That doesn’t make them bat**** crazy. For example, the following is an article about NYC public school system honoring a terrorist (so-named by the FBI). It is well-written and researched, and demonstrates just how crazy liberal NYC has become. Just because you think it’s OK to honor a terrorist doesn’t mean it is crazy for a journalist to write about the wrong in it.

I don’t mean to derail, but just want to counter your statement that AT is a crazy rag. It is a CONSERVATIVE online publication, expressing conservative views.

What hate? Articles there are simply revealing what leftists are doing, and Youtube wants to hide it from voters. What’s wrong with reporting on how NYC public schools are honoring a domestic terrorist?

They can do what they want and if they are only going after the political conspiracy theories so be it.
