    Sure it's not news. It's "not news" to the far left lol. This is CONFIRMATION that Google was pressured by the Biden admin. You can yell it's "not news" but that doesn't make it true...

    Is it news? Sure, but it's old news is my point. It's like coming out today to say that Michigan won the national championship

    No, terrible example. A good example would be that Michigan got their notice of allegations officially from the ncaa even though we've known it was coming for a while.

    I'm sure Biden forced him to buy and distribute thousands of ballot boxes in Blue states BEFORE BIDEN supposedly won the election, too...

    Why do Republicans keep forgetting who was president in 2020?

    Donald Trump apparently found all of this significant anew and published this missive to his own social media platform.

    “Zuckerberg admits that the White House pushed to SUPPRESS HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY (& much more!). IN OTHER WORDS, THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED. FoxNews, New York Post, Rep. Laurel Lee, House Judiciary Committee.

    *****

    But in light of the fact that we’re talking about events that unfolded in 2020, he was referring to his own White House.

    It’s striking how often this comes up. Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia last year blamed the Biden administration’s policies for a Michigan woman whose sons died in 2020 — when, Biden was a private citizen and Trump was president.

    FBI shows up and encourages Zuckerberg/facebook to censor information.

    Hmmmm...someone keeps crowing about electing a Dictator. Sounds like projection.
    Mark Zuckerberg says White House ‘pressured’ Facebook to censor Covid-19 content

    Twitter acquiesced as well. Let's see: government coercing media to silence one point of view? Where's the party of "choice"? 1984 = 2024 and the Left/Democrats. NOTE: no mention by the New York Times (paper "of record") about Zuckerberg's letter to Jim Jordan https://www.washingtonpost.com/tech...berg-covid-misinformation-jordan-white-house/

    Sad thing for our country when the major media sides with one side or the other. So much for "speaking truth to power"

    The one that tried to overturn the results of an election and then nominated the same person that was responsible. Easy question.

    I haven't read all the details. But did the administration ask Facebook to take down specific posts, specific claims like "the vaccine is dangerous ..."? Or was it more general like "take down misinformation?"
    I don't have much problem with the second. I do with the first.

    BTW, the fact that it was a request and not an order means it's not quite dictatorial. We had the thread a couple of months ago that claimed Biden is a dictator because a bill to go before Congress, where it would consider it, vote on it, etc.

    Make up stuff. So if I say that if "the administration asked Facebook to take down specific posts, specific claims like "the vaccine is dangerous ..." ... then I have a problem with that. You figure that means I want the government controlling the internet?
    Is this just "watch this, I bet a get a reaction ...!"

    Let's call this what it is. Zuck sees the writing on the wall, which is why he waited this long to speak out. Smart move.

    Okay, vs the folks who tried to preturn the results of an election by stifling accurate and true speech, censoring certain stories (Hunter laptop)and fabricating others (51 former intelligence officers …). Is that okay?

    Yeah, one guy let a bunch of folks get of out of control in an impetuous jaunt to the Capitol. Another guy bullied the media, censored stories, and promoted propaganda. One is perhaps reckless the other is nefarious. I guess the Left prefers the conscious, premeditated subversion of democracy vs the spontaneous riot against what everyone could see what was going on.

    It's always been "OK" when they do it. I mean, in a lot of the Minneapolis rioter's eyes, they felt their actions were perfectly justified. Sure, it didn't help that a governor and his family were actively cheering on the rioters, but the left has always been great at projection.
