  1. There is a petition calling for Biden to bring back the fairness doctrine. I think it’s a good place to start

    1. @Freight Train i really love how you’re trying to make it sound like you knew what I corrected you on. You seem like a very stable genius, someone unaware that cable TV was created in the late 40’s—but I won’t hold that against you. However, since you wanna get all technical with the semantics, your usage of “TV News” is still incorrect, as that encompasses cable TV News. You should have said “companies utilizing public broadcast infrastructure” as that is what the FD was regulating. And by the way, you didn’t address any of what I brought up in my original comment, only that Trump should have been censored which completely ignores everything I wrote. Your criticism of me is pure projection.

    2. @Bobby Kendall I think if its broadcast to the masses then yes it should be fact checked… Can’t go through this again and keep what is left of the worlds view on morality and honesty of America ..its been decimated these last 4 years .

    3. @Stew country songs Stew So every page that has some kind of conspiracy theory behind it should be censored? The JFK conspiracy theories need to be deleted? The 9-11 conspiracy theories? The flat earth people? Polite society used to think cigarettes were healthy, because those in power controlled the narrative. To this day, the US DGA, which creates what you might remember as the food pyramid in school, recommends that 10% of your diet come from added sugar. If you aren’t aware, that much sugar on a daily basis for 40 years WILL give you diabetes. The panel of scientists that recommends how the pyramid should be structured argued that the 10% should be slashed to 5%—but the government rejected that recommendation. Why? They claimed it was due to a lack of research on insulin resistance, which is a total and outright lie. The truth is that lobbyists for sugar wouldn’t allow it. So, I ask you again, who gets to decide what’s true and what’s false?

    4. @Stew country songs Stew The only viable solution, from my perspective, is for economic inequality to be dealt with. People will be far less likely to fall into these cults if they have some sense of economic and financial stability.

    1. And in the week following Trump being kicked off Social Media, disinformation (lies) on social media, about the election, & disinformation generally, fell by 73% SEVENTY THREE PERCENT!! Trump spread lies, and people too lazy to do their own research believed them!

    2. @James Barlow QUOTE @Annie Haz ….Trump spread lies and people too lazy to do their own research believed them!
      lazy and stupid, gullible, and twatty!

    3. Trump hummed Jailhouse Rock as soon as he stepped in Air Force One on his final ride to Florida. He knows what’s awaiting him.

  2. Imagine: All Americans can finally have a restful night tonight. We finally have adults in charge of democracy!! May God guide this administration towards peace & equality.

    1. BLACK RACIST TALK TO DEMEAN WHITE AMERICANS IS NOT GOING TO BE TOLERATED….DEMOCRATS ARE AND HAVE BEEN THE MINI BRAINS….DWARFS CROWDED AROUBD THEIR TOKEN WHITE MAN WHO HATES HIS WHITE BROTHERS….ITS NOT REPUBLICANS WHO ARE THE LIARS. THANK GOD FOR TRUMP….

    2. @Andre Morrison No apology needed but thanks anyway. I spent much of my younger life raging against “US imperialism”. With age, a better appreciation of history and a good look at the alternatives, I’m keen to see “USA here to stay”. Especially under a Biden/Harris administration. Sleep well Andre. And good luck!

    3. NOTICE THAT THEY SPEW THESE GENERALTIES BUT THEY HAVE NO PROOF…NO EXAMPLES…THEY ARE MERELY LIKE ROBOTS OR PARROTS…NO BRAINS JUST REPEAT THEIR PARROT TALK….THE DEMS LED THE RIOTING….IT IS NOT NOR NEVER WAS THE REPUBLICA S…WHATEVER THE DEMS TELL YOU SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING
      THE DEMS ARE FILLED WITH HATE ANDBPUNY BRAINS.TOI STUPID AND LIARS TO BOOT…PUKE FACE LIARS…

  3. A good talk from Simon Sinek says we will look back on this time like we look back on the time without seat belts, ‘it’s like giving your 5 yr old the keys to the liquor cabinet’ the internet world needs to be reigned in

    1. The business of America is doing business, with its contingent morality and ethics. A handshake agreement is a joke. B ack in the late 50’s, I took umbrage at JFK’s observation that all business men are SOB’S. The poor and the dispossesd are the last recipients of the largesse of the powerfully rich. Those who live in abject poverty, i. e., Appalachia, are mired in economic and social inertia, with no way out of their plight. My father escaped the entrapment of the sharecropper through his gift of intelligence, npt always used for the greatest good; but he put several of his sisters through school. He may have been the male vsnguard of feminism.

  4. Why are representatives allowed to tell lies in the Senate or House? Members of Parliament in other democracies are not allowed to lie or even inadvertently mislead the parliament. If they do so they are required to apologise and set the record straight. If they refuse, they are punished, and it is extremely rare, if ever, that a parliamentarian would refuse to do as required.

    1. Do we preemtivily tell those that represent us ” No loes allowed”? We have to wait for the lie to be perpetrated before we identify it as such.

    2. I agree. Congress should be a place for only truth. Also, all political ads should be held to a truth standard. No lies on TV to mislead the stupid people. Lying should lead to the expulsion of the Congressperson. Stop The Lies!!!

  5. Lies are incompatible with decent human beings and don’t belong regardless of your station in life.
    Lies destroy society.

    1. In Iroquois culture a lie the biggest “sin” that you can commit, not murder. A murder just kills one person, lies kills trust in the community and destroys the community. Lies are incompatible with human society let alone democracy.

  6. Newt Gingrich and Roger Stone started the Republican Party on its Machiavellian path. To them “the ends justifies the means.”

    1. antifa attacked the dem headcourters in portland yesterday ha ha ha trump was the best president ever biden has dementia
