It’s a sad time to be American.

Not for everyone. Some were tired of the media ignoring stories like the Biden laptop story. Others wanted more details on Hunters $500k no show Ukrainian job. Or disliked that Trump was tried on novel charges. Personally, I think the way Hollywood has been weaponized is worth overthrowing. That’s a giant propaganda machine. Institutions like NPR, which had 87 directors that are Democrats and no Republicans. Doesn’t seem right, does it? So not everybody is alarmed. It’s only dark if you’re on one side of the political spectrum.

    > The endless litigation in the laptop case against Hunter Biden wasn't enough? Every media company must also cover it if MAGA says so? The story was suppressed at the FBI's insistence until after the election. They were spreading that it was Russian disinformation to ensure it wouldn't harm the Democrats, including getting social media sites to remove posts about it.

      What do you mean the story was suppressed by the FBI? Are you referring to the Twitter files which didn't find that the government coerced any social media companies and that Republicans were submitting the same requests?

        Ah okay, so they wrote a strongly worded letter that said they couldn't confirm it was disinformation but that it had the signs of a disinformation campaign? So, they didn't threaten punishment or coerce these companies into doing it? Is that correct?
