My rant on Fake News

The only MSM site I have seen calling foul on this crap is the Washington Times. I found this Op-ed today.

Using fake news against opposing views
Liberals just can’t abide competing points of view

Is there still just one credible MSN site left here? Maybe!

Ironically, the Washington Times is owned by a cult and was created by its leader to push conservative propaganda.

If you're not an advocate for censorship then that's fine.

I suppose I'll believe it when/if I see it.

What a bunch of drama queens, you all insult and want to make us cry when we don't run to defend their made to offend comments.

Meh you all are cancer to me

a reply to: Indigent

I'm not a drama queen.

I'm a drama princess.

a reply to: Indigent

I think I failed to convey my point. I'm not upset that you've called some of my posting "cancerous" at all. I disagree but that's somewhat irrelevant to what I was saying. What I was referring to were three (well 2.5, one of them was expressly a failed attempt to "out" me as professional writer, which I'm obviously not) threads where posters were calling for "something to be done" about me.

My point was that if folks are really and truly concerned about censorship, perhaps they should practice what they preach, starting with our own little ATS microcosm.

Here is an example of fake news for you from ATS. Putin Issues International Arrest Warrant For George Soros … Dead or Alive

a reply to: theantediluvian

According to ats I'm a retarded obtuse shill that need safe spaces, but you don't see me making post after post of how none defend me.

Freedom baby

So?

I was unaware that you had an obligation to read it.

Is this the type of material you want banned?

a reply to: DBCowboy

You're a hissy fit contortionist.

Do you not understand that every word you have said in this thread and God knows how many others is the real threat to freedom of speech? You can scream about censorship all you like, it doesn't mean a goddamn thing if you're deluded on how it plays in the real world.

MSM is fake and Breitbart is honest?

QYBS!

a reply to: DBCowboy

Blatantly false information trying to push a narrative? Please ban that from ATS or shove it to the hoax bin faster.

a reply to: Kali74

I'm the threat to free speech because I advocate for free speech while you champion free speech because you advocate censorship.


Normally you have to pay extra for that much stupid.

So you're for censorship.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Consequence to your speech is not censorship, you are free to say you are gonna kill someone, but that does not mean you won't end up in jail.

a reply to: Indigent

Then don't threaten someone's life. That would actually be an infringement on the rights of another person.

a reply to: DBCowboy

And lies goes to the hoax bin, not censorship.

a reply to: Indigent

Hoaxes belong there, they don't deserve to be banned as some would suggest.

Hell, some here would be happy having threads be pre-approved by the state before posting.

If you had seen the 9/11 Forum before they began heavily moderating it you would know why I feel that way.

a reply to: DBCowboy

There are banned sources here for that reason, are you gonna make a crusade to unban them?

a reply to: Indigent

I will always crusade for more freedoms.

Will you always crusade for less?

a reply to: Pyle

Justify censorship all you want.
