    According to huffpost, a federal judge has dismissed Project Veritas defamation lawsuit against CNN for alleging suspension from twitter for spreading misinformation.  Project Veritas is known for spying, deceptively editing videos and promoting false claims.

    From Fox news, claims are made that media and government are working toward silencing free speech in the US.  Politifact rates these claims false.  Freedom of speech and the press are protected by the Constitution.  News organizations operate independently of government.  There is diversity of information.  Allegations that social media companies censor republican views are unfounded.  Although US news sources sometimes produce similar coverage, that is a far cry from state controlled media.  However in Russia, government closes independent broadcasters and cuts access to international outlets.  Facebook, twitter and other social media are blocked.  A new law threatens up to 15 years in prison for spreading information about Ukraine invasion that government deems to be false.

    Damn. A lot of people are saying that the Russian invasion has nothing to do with NATO.

    They better be careful!

    we can easily substitute fux news for project veritas and that would also fit

    According to sources, Fox news is making things worse.  Apparently Lara Logan's recent rant against Ukraine and Zelensky is being used by Russian state TV propagandists to help their war effort.

    Remember when Russia created the biggest Black Lives Matter account on Facebook with millions of followers? 

    Russia Facebook account was pushed by a ton of Democrats. 

    If someone posted a rant saying Iraq didn’t have WMD’s and Saddam retweeted the rant … how is the persons rant looked at now? 

    You can’t dismiss a rant solely because Putin agrees with it. You have to debate the actual points being made in the rant (I know you’re not capable).

    NY Post was banned for an accurate story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. The state controlled media in the US falsely said the laptop story was Russian propaganda.

    Free speech is a fundamental right in our Democracy.  

    But there are some reasonable and responsible limits. Like, not screaming "There's a BOMB on board!!" when a packed 787 is taxiing onto a runway. 

    Russian news is controlled by the state (Putin)  If he doesn't like what is said or written or displayed he can and will shut it down then punish those involved.

    That, by the way, is EXACTLY the way Trump wants it to be HERE.   And it would be among the first things he does if re-elected in 2024 with a majority in Congress.  Which would effectively shut down "free speech" in our country.

    Media matters reveal that Fox news has been supporting Putin every day of Russian invasion on at least 49 instances.  Fox news defend Putin, air Russian propaganda justifying war, criticize US response and blame the west for invasion of Ukraine.

    North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a conservative Republican who frequently rails against abortion rights, paid for a woman to have an abortion after impregnating her in 1989.

    This is a great example of "do as I say and not as I do."

    Partisan Fox viewers can be deprogrammed to become less gullible according to joint study from Stanford and Yale universities.  During September 2020, 763 Fox viewers are paid to watch CNN 7 hours per week for one month.  Afterwards, they became more skeptical and less likely to believe fake news.  One lesson from this experiment is that no body is impossible to reach.

    an_lightFollow up to Thirdperson's factual reporting...

    Fox News viewers transformed
    after watching CNN for 30 days,
    research finds


    THE INDEPENDENT -
    “Despite regular Fox viewers being largely strong partisans,
    we found manifold effects of changing the slant of their
    media diets on their factual beliefs, attitudes, perceptions of
    issues’ importance, and overall political views,”
    the authors of the study said.

    They found Fox News viewers became more likely to agree
    that if Trump made a mistake, Fox News would *NOT* cover it!
