But deciding to focus on the rare instance that some right wing idiots didn't get everything they wanted, because the wrong elites were colluding this time, will do absolutely to forward the idea that elite control of media and content is bad. All it is going to do is reinforce the myth that the right wing is particularly censored by the media (when the left wing demonstrably is).

We're not going to see eye to eye, here. For one, I'm not "deciding to focus" on this. It's in the news and all over social media. It is in focus.

You can make hay or you can let the Democrats sweep it under the rug.

I guess I'll post something later, though I didn't actually intend my post in this thread as a "moderator criticism" (since it's only a probation and I generally think you're one of the better moderators we've had - the sexpig permaban is the only semi-recent-ish C-SPAM moderation thing that I think was seriously wrong). I was just commenting that there's usually a similar mindset involved with these things.

That's fair, and thanks for saying that. It's a probe that I wanted to explain, and I leaped at the opportunity that I thought you were presenting me, probably a little prematurely, so sorry about that.:)

How can Democrats sweep it under the rug if its all over news and social media? You make it seem like unless I say "twitter being mean to beri weiss is bad!" then somehow this story will disappear overnight.


Why are the corporate controlled media allowing this story to be so broadly spread if was as hostile to their interests as the right wing is pretending it is? Or do you really think that this level of collusion is somehow unique to twitter and that facebook/gannett/disney don't act the same way?

(Because it isn't. Its just one set of elites shoving a different set of elites under the bus, and the consequence of this will be further entrenching right wing myths of victimhood.)

My point is that Democrats could play the politics here better by working to undermine the narrative that twitter was uniquely anti-conservative but they won't be cause doing so would require them to defend the left wing voices who also got deplatformed by twitter.

ok, I'm back to agreeing with you.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. So what? Does that make it untrue?

Conservatives are, admittedly for their own selfish reasons, handing out evidence of government and political control of social media, a gift to leftists who try to make that known. Your response is what? I just say "thank you" and add it to my box of info.

posting in the succzone is going to have exactly 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000% influence over whether or not the dems are going to sweep it under the rug

it all comes down to “you and what army?” at the end of the day. the dems judo’d the protests in 2020 (as well as the bernie’s insurgent campaign); if you don’t have a byline at the nyt or an equivalent, there is literally nothing you can do to move the needle on this. this is going to be resolved by buying someone a fancy dinner.

the sky is blue, water is wet, and both the dems and gop are corrupt, self-dealing pieces of poo poo.
