Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

I personally don't have a view one way or another on these decisions by twitter. But if they censor propaganda, then there is some sort of rough karmic justice. A sort of proof that there is a God lurking out there somewhere in the cosmos. That's how I see it.

why is it propaganda?

Why don't they censor clear falsehoods like russia collusion and pee tapes?

Why don't they censor illegally obtained tax returns?

Why do you always find yourself on here defending censorship? Maybe that says something...
 
Why is this different than the bakers that wouldnt bake a cake.
You argued that a business reserves the right to serve or not to serve whom ever they please.

And why twitter?

There seems plenty of other outlets.
Parlor for instance

The reason I sighed earlier is bc I have answed this literally 1,000 times.

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO IT

As does the cake baker.

Do you agree?
 
Actually, to my mind twitter has more of a right to not bake this cake because they are not discriminating due to race, ethnicity, religion or gender.

Seriously curious how you square this
 
He doesnt have any problem with it he just doesnt like who was impacted by it. Republicans are truly the biggest snowflakes. We could complain about stuff like this too. When is Fox News going to give Biden one of those softball interviews Trump does every other day? The biggest media corporation in the country is heavily engaged in propaganda to help Republicans. But no, thats fine. They want to keep that. They just want to force everyone else with any liberal views in media to be neutral or outright right leaning. Anytime now Republicans can agree to reinstate the fainess doctrine but they never will because Fox could not exist in its current format.


Every President has complained about the media. When Obama banned fox news from the white house it was the CNN's and MSNBC's of the world that defended them. It takes a special kind of ignorance and stupidity to believe the media is biased against Trump. They are under no obligation to treat all candidates the same no matter how they act, what they do, or what their policies are. You could say the media is biased against the Nazi party too because they wont cover them or give them coverage and consistently say bad things about them. That doesnt make them biased against the Nazi party. Quite honestly the media deserves a medal for not fighting back against Trump. If I was the media every time he called me fake news I would call him right back a fake President. But the standards are far higher for journalists than Presidents so that would get a ban from the WH instantly.

good questions...i'm not gonna help you with them...but i encourage you to think about them
 
have the pee tapes gotten a thumbs up or down in official circles?
seems the only people still debating their merit are the MAGA
the rest of the world has moved on pretty much ... well pretty much


The Select Senate Subcommittee did concur that Russia with the aid of the Trump campaign interfered in 2016.

Begging the age old question,
"What propaganda ?"
 
As he should, any interview he does on Fox will be used to attack him. If they would give him the same treatment he would do it. There is little difference between the Trump campaign and Fox News.


I dont see how its censorship when its only banned on one platform. You can get the information any number of places. How does that stack up to Trumps constant attacks on the media? He has called for journalists to be consequences against people who say things he doesnt like. He has called for almost every opponent to be investigated or arrested based on fake news. He thinks businesses that dont support him dont deserve to be in business. He has spent his whole presidency trying to retaliate against Amazon because he doesnt like the Washington Posts accurate reporting about him. How many lawsuits has Trump tried to sue the media? Pretty sure its in the double digits and he has lost every single one of them. Trump says we dont really have freedom of the press because they cant report things he doesnt like. He applauded the Republican who bodyslammed a journalist. He encourages harassment of them. Consistently calls for negative consequences against them for doing their job.


There is clearly one person who is attacking the first amendment and thats the Teflon Don.
 
LOL.

"Why doesn't Biden get those Fox interviews!?!?!?!"

[Biden declines Fox interview]

"AS he should!!!!"

Defend your censorship fella

Indeed. But no outrage.

Instead.

cen·sorship
/ˈsensərSHip/

noun

1.
the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.
"the regulation imposes censorship on all media"
2.
(in ancient Rome) the office or position of censor.

////////////////////////////////////

Asking, is this discussion centered around a misunderstanding of the word "censorship" ?
My reading is this is an official/legal term
Governments - laws impose censorship. not media outlets or the refusal to share a soap box

Again, I am asking
