Quote:Infowars has received another guideline strike and had 4 videos removed. This means no Infowars live for at least 30 days. Alex jones has just received a 30 day suspension on Facebook. Cnn has led the reporting on Infowars in a very critical light and many people feel this is a call for removing them. Just because CNN reports on Infowars and asks questions does not mean they are advocating anything. In that sense I took a critical look at CNNs coverage and highlighted several instances where CNN published fake news. If even CNN is publishing factually incorrect and downright insane conspiracies, like Don lemon asking if a black hole could swallow a plane, then shouldn't we see CNN banned as well? Personally I dont think either should be banned and unfortunately if we want an honest and free press we can't have big companies deciding what is or is not fake.

Can you not just go to info wars to see their content? I don't agree with their ban, but can you not see their stuff if ya want too?

And this doesn't mean CNN doesn't deserve the same treatment. They are on par with Info Wars imo.

CNN tells the turht. Fox News could be banned for the fake news that Sean Hannity, Judge Peehead and Tucker Carlson spews.

The black hole? Come on, it is just a theory that Don lemon did to debunk all the conspiracy theories floating around the Internet.

I call them flat Earthers.

Social media companies trying to have it both ways -- claiming to be neutral public fora while simultaneously curating their sites to suit their bias.

Not good. They will be liable for hundreds of millions in lawsuits.

Exactly. The entire basis of CNN is a lie. They claim to be an unbiased professional news organization when they are actually a left wing propaganda site. They were a news organization at one time—-but tha5 was decades ago.

CNN was a pretty good news organization until Ted Turner married Jane Fonda. The transition from unbiased professional news organization to left wing propaganda site began then.

I posted the same thing in another thread. She wrecked him.

If we ban cnn, we may as well ban Fox news. The Free press is not the enemy.

I don't favor banning any of them. I do favor objective criticism in evaluating them.

After cnn is banned, let's ban forbes next. They had to retract and disavow their fake story that claimed that the person in this video was Alex Jones.

Quote:Update: The original version of this story named Alex Jones as the man pushing a child to the ground in the banned video clip. In fact, Jones merely comments enthusiastically.

NORMALLY that would be correct. Unfortunately in today's world the "free press" is often times noting more than a propaganda wing for a certain party.

The reason why the left HATES Fox News is that they can't stand the thought of a news organization that doesn't toe the line trying to indoctrinate the masses with a "progressive" agenda.

It's not enough to have the 3 major networks, CNN, BSDNC, the NY Times, PBS, and 99% of what's called the "main stream media", they want it all. They don't want people who have a right-wing/conservative/libertarian ideology to have ANY voice at all.

They have no issue with the 99% spewing THEIR beliefs, but have a Coniption Fit over the 1% and Fox news.

That's censorship at it's finest and THAT'S the problem.
