Jones never even said that, that's the problem. The media created a false narrative and spread it. He specifically said that people who were interviewed after the shooting were crisis actors. Who cares the specifics of what he said tho

Google, Facebook, Twitter etc are profoundly different from any information medium that has existed in the past. As such, we must define new ways of thinking about their behavior, of considering the legality of their censorship. What's

CNN is exclusively supportive of the Leftist and Liberal agenda. They are absolutely a fair game comparison to Fox. CNN has spent over a year covering the Russia investigation, breathlessly accepting any shred of hearsay that could possibly
