In this clear act of targeted discrimination, large media outlets have taken a decisive aggressive action against freedom of speech and dissemination of truth. Why now? Something big is brewing. Stay tuned.

Fake news just made him even more popular haha!

Is yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater free speech? One could argue Alex Jones is doing something similar.

No way, false parallel.

I will admit, I don’t follow the guy. I was under the impression he makes many false claims just to be inflammatory. Am I mistaken?

Edit:… ok, looked at the link. This is more about " hate speech than false information. In than case, yea, I would have to side against the social media outlets.

buy moar FB

“Fake News” is whatever information does not fit the liberal/pedo mind control narrative. Maxine Waters is literally in you and is Hitler. When will people wake up?

without AJ’s wisdom how will people learn about secretive govt plans to turn the friggin frogs gay?

also how will they know when he comes out with new snake oils to sell such as his new all natural oxypowder

I mean, no he definitely spreads false information and potentially hate speech and he sucks. In the same way a televangelist does or any number of people with weird podcast followings but it’s still not the same as yelling fire in a crowded theater which is consciously leading to immediate potential death. All I’m saying is that these sort of things create a very slippery slope when a few media companies control the channels of information. What if ISP’s follow suit, then you’re literally getting whatever info they deemed appropriate.

As a thought experiment consider everything you know to be true. Since at best we sporadically travel, most of it is based on flow of information, usually through the internet. The internet is nearly infinite for all practical purposes so you’re basically relying on a few major search engines that guide you to whatever the best hits are among millions, almost nobody goes past the first page. Your entire “reality” is based on the black box that is Google’s algorithms pushing hits to the top for everything from recipes to who was Malcolm X and what is Brexit. Not going Full Metal Turd and claiming conspiracy but 10 years ago the internet was the wild west and it is changing. There is definitely a lot of power in the hands of a few gatekeepers and the actions of censoring one loony need to be considered in the broader context of precedent.

So does CNN and their pages are still up, very sad!

Look at the racist that the failing NYT just hired and even defended her!!! (NSFW)

What about that broad’s “hate” speech?

Not sure if you have gotten stronger at framing arguments over the years, or if I have caught up in my ability to appreciate them. Nonetheless…well said :+1:

lolz

I’d never heard of Alex Jones before seeing it mentioned on AF.

And then the Infowars site just happened to have you guys’ favorite brand of oxy ass blaster. Never heard of that either. But, such a hit on AF.

Oh the times…

I don’t care much about her prior tweets, but the hypocrisy of the NYT is really disturbing. If this so called “journalist” had tweeted about any other race, she would’ve been fired in a second.

I love it. Vox wrote a long article basically conducting mental gymnastics to make the tweets not racist. It’s a nonsensical cocktail of A) apparently “white people” suddenly becomes a high brow satirical metaphor beyond the comprehension of simple Americans, B) it’s ok because white people run America and C) the author is a minority. The author also makes the seemingly important distinction that this couldn’t be rephrased as anything against Jews because not all Jews are white. In addition, it becomes important to note that the NYT also took a courageous stance against the “alt-right’s” bullying tactics of actually holding people accountable for what they said years ago, obviously never a tactic used by the left for example.

Anyhow, this is the left winning battles to lose wars. Anybody who has two working brain cells to rub together can see the hole they’re digging. Que another “shocking” election defeat in 2020 that can only be chalked up to racist barbarians streaming out of the woods to vote against Hillary 2.0.

Nobody’s asking for youtube to take down content. People are saying that NYT is showing major hypocrisy which is obvious.

I misunderstood your prior comment then. My bad.

Those Vox articles are disgraceful.

Someone writes “#cancelwhitepeople” and it’s okay. When Trump post a pic of him eating a taco bowl (which was excellent btw, probably the best I’ve ever had) and saying he loves Hispanics, he’s labeled a racist by the fake news. WTF?!

Seriously, when was the last time Crooked Hillary had a taco??
