Media Bias

[Hermit]

Maybe an unbiased media would notice this kind of discrepancy...

Discrepancy between what? The caption implying the photo on the right was taken at the time mask wearing was compulsory, when it was in fact taken during the Stanley Cup-winning celebration at Raymond James Stadium on September 30 2020, at which time social distancing and mask wearing was merely recommended?

Daggles, will you ever learn to do some rudimentary checks on the shit you find that harmonises with your bias, before dishing it up?

Meanwhile, the media bias continues apace.

However, we have not taken any action on accounts that consist of news media entities, journalists, activists, and politicians. We will continue to advocate for the right of free expression on behalf of the people we serve, and are exploring options under Indian law.

Twitter isn't biased though, they are probably just adjusting their treatment of politicians based on country/jurisdiction. I for one would be glad to watch India jail Twitter for a few years.

Corporate personhood should allow for jailing and other justice efforts.

Twitter is not news media. It's got tweets by media houses and it may have tweets by your friends to news sites. But it's not news.

The thread is 'media bias', not 'news media bias'.

Tech companies are biased. Well, if you look at the money anyway. But why is this a bad thing? It may be more interesting if you shared why you hate the bias in favor of left leaning ideas e.g. I hate the bias at Fox because it favors some really stupid ideas; things like hatred for public education, and championing the myth of an American meritocracy.

Is Ratz media? I thought it was a club.

If you think public education is good, this reads one way. If you think it's bad, it reads another.

No problem that they are biased. Only a problem when they pretend they aren't. Like if they participate in marketing, in certain countries, they aren't allowed to have rules like 'no foreigners' or 'no vegans'.

You spend a lot of time talking about it for someone without an opinion about their bias beyond that they are --like everyone-- biased.

Surely something about left leaning ideas bothers you. Crowder for example probably dislikes the intellectual left's insistence that God is dead. They won't treat his religious beliefs seriously.

They have a declared bias, so I don't mind them being openly biased. Lefties declare sometimes too. That's also good. Those who obscure their bias are the ones that I dislike.

Crowder is as you say, but he would sit down and film everything his opponent has to say on an issue. Has done so a few times.

He is willing to have a conversation, and share water. That's not a bad spot to start disagreeing, in my opinion. Even if it is by a biased individual.

Like when Fox News says it's "Fair and balanced".

Oh man, the truth has been banned. Whatever will we do now?

'Twitter suspends Project Veritas account'

The conservative activist organization Project Veritas was suspended from Twitter on Thursday for violating platform rules.

The account was "permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter’s private information policy," a Twitter spokesperson said.

The group's founder, James O'Keefe, had his account temporarily locked, also for violation of the private information policy. "The account owner is required to delete the violative Tweet to regain access to their account," the spokesperson said.

O'Keefe on Thursday explained his and Project Veritas' positions.

"Late last night, Twitter locked Project Veritas's and my Twitter accounts, claiming we violated Twitter Guidelines by posting a video of our journalists asking questions of Facebook's Vice President Guy Rosen which Rosen refused to answer," he said in an emailed statement. "Twitter claimed the video published private information, which is false. Twitter invited Project Veritas to, and we did, appeal that decision with Twitter. In an apparent act of retaliation for daring to question their authority, Twitter responded to our appeal by suspending our account, continuing to tell us that Project Veritas could delete the tweet and have our account reinstated."

O’Keefe added that he would not delete the tweet.

...

Project Veritas has been known to use deceptive practices and spread misinformation in attempts to expose what it views as "corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct" from liberal organizations or individuals. In September, Stanford University and University of Washington researchers wrote that a Project Veritas video alleging voter fraud with unidentified sources was what a "a domestic, coordinated elite disinformation campaign looks like in the United States."

You know this is going to trigger Cunt...

I think the smart person would side with the censors, who do this to protect.
