senate republicans grilling private company for "censoring conservatives". I thought free-market rules apply, and if conservatives felt they were being censored, they could go elsewhere?
It's just conservatives gearing up for the next battle of their culture war:
Despite cries of censorship, conservatives dominate social media
GOP-friendly voices far outweigh liberals in driving conversations on hot topics leading up to the election, a POLITICO analysis shows.
www.politico.com
As racial protests engulfed the nation after George Floyd’s death, users shared the most-viral right-wing social media content more than 10 times as often as the most popular liberal posts, frequently associating the Black Lives Matter movement with violence and accusing Democrats like Joe Biden of supporting riots.
People also shared conservatives’ most-read claims of rampant voter fraud roughly twice as often as they did liberals’ or traditional media outlets’ discussions of the issue, the analysis found. The conservatives’ tactics included spinning mainstream media coverage on voting irregularities into elaborate conspiracy theories, sometimes echoed by Trump, that Democratic lawmakers are trying to steal November’s election
No agenda, no policy, nothing. Just endless outrage.
It's like back home, where authorities are more preoccupied with people wearing camo and short skirts than real issues like the state of the roads.
