It's bad enough when rich people use the legal system to try and silence criticism.
It's far worse when they appear to be coordinating with the government to quash journalism.

- davidw 3y agoThe government isn't in the business of deciding what is or isn't good "journalism". That's kind of the point. Also, if it were so far from the truth, maybe those companies wouldn't have pulled their ads. They probably verified it themselves.
- smitty1e 3y ago> The government isn't in the business of deciding what is or isn't good "journalism". Need to let the facts come out in court under oath for better insight into which is the victim and which is the oppressor. The line between government, party, and activist seems to have blurred in the last couple of decades.
- Jimmc414 3y agoPerhaps you are right, but the same charge could be leveled against Media Matters if one is being intellectually honest.
- davidw 3y agoMedia Matters isn't the attorney general of one of the United States. It's a private organization.
- LargoLasskhyfv 3y agoThen it matters even more, because it shouldn't be that they can effectively ban anyone they dislike. So let them feel the lone stars strike. YEEEHAAW!
- nickthegreek 3y agoWho did MM ban and from where?
- LargoLasskhyfv 3y agoAs a figure of speech, they lashed out, to rob someones clout, no doubt. Because of other opinion, can't accept loss of their dominion. That aside, making anything Soros-funded cry out is a matter of honour, and giving me a hard boner o|o Thermonukular, in fäqqt.
- nickthegreek 3y agoSo no one was effectively banned from anything by MM. Got it.
- LargoLasskhyfv 3y agoThey tried to, by limiting outreach, which they felt they had lost, via the same channel. Channel gave the bird. They feel stirred. There is a feedback loop in action. Which stirs up even more shady things to emerge. Which is satisfying, because once emerged, for all to be seen, there is no denying, that one side is unclean.
- nickthegreek 3y agoI am sorry but that reply is incomprehensible.
