Brought to you by the deeply conservative "Sinclair Broadcasting Group"...can't believe you posted
that excerpt from John Oliver...but thanks...much appreciated.
For more on the SBG...check this out...

Obviously, SBG will never be confused with truly independent news broadcasting that has a long history of getting to the truth...and being recognized with Pulitzer Prizes.

According Left, free speech is dangerous to our democracy! No, but it is certainly dangerous to what
they are peddling.
It's being peddled from the right and the left.
There is no left of right at the top, there is just the elite and the elite need to control the narrative to stay elite.
Relevant Chomsky quotes...
“In the US, there is basically one party – the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.”
"The media want to maintain their intimate relation to state power. They want to get leaks, they want to get invited to the press conferences. They want to rub shoulders with the Secretary of State, all that kind of business. To do that, you’ve got to play the game, and playing the game means telling their lies, serving as their disinformation apparatus.”
“Governments will use whatever technology is available to combat their primary enemy – their own population.”
“The best defense against democracy is to distract people.”
“If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
“Nobody is going to pour truth into your brain. It’s something you have to find out for yourself.”
There is one side that has censored. Enough of your mugwumpism.

What do you think those newscasters we're talking about I that tweet?
And who do you think the last remaining audience is of local news? This is how they convince both sides that we need the government to save us from misinformation on social media.
Don't care...just wanted to use "mugwumpism" when the opportunity arose. "It's not you, it's me"

Several of the sites are places you source on a daily basis.
That being said, Sinclair Media group probably reaches more households in the US than CNN and MSNBC.
The company that owns those stations is staunchly conservative

Who censored, the Left or the Right? Who is having a cow about Musk giving back those rights? Yep.

I'm going to take this with a grain of salt.
I remember someone on this site told me that The Intercept was far right so this board is teaming with the disinformation being reported by those journalists in that tweet. I'm sure Misinformation Czar Trump could clear things up for me, but that's still a couple of years away.
Who watches MSM anymore?
Haven't people shifted to getting their news from social media? Why do you think the elites have been working so hard to gain control of the online narrative?
Enjoy your independent media sources while you can.
They are all owned by Sinclair. Why is that surprising?

He thinks it’s proof of some sort of liberal conspiracy. It’s always a conspiracy.
These dipshits don’t have any idea what Sinclair is.
Says the guy who thought the Hunter Biden laptop was Russia disinformation.

Stop projecting what you want this to mean. Do better.
Well aware of Sinclair.
Sure you did, guy

Everything has to be in one of two boxes.
You can't just post something interesting and then let people think about it and come to their own conclusions. How dare you. Put that shit in one of the boxes.
