The electronic media run almost entirely by the West Coast could suddenly find that they are not treated like telecom companies which have no responsibility for content and instead treated like publishers who do have responsibility for content. "His comment follows weeks of high-profile revelations about Silicon Valley openly limiting the reach of conservatives. Last week, we reported that algorithm changes at Facebook have caused the President’s engagement on the platform to fall by 45 percent. The same change has hit engagement on the pages of conservative news websites, while leaving the mainstream media’s pages virtually unchanged. During the same week, YouTube launched a massive crackdown against conservatives and alternative media channels, taking down videos and banning channels."www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/03/07/trump-2020-manager-brad-parscale-warns-big-tech-we-are-watching/It is enlightening to compare the results of searches on Google with those on Duckduckgo. It is obvious that there is a huge electronic thumb on the scales. Type something simple say : Trump Speech into 3 search engines and see what is chosen as the top answers. Thanks for that one Naut. Name sounds a little like a moniker for an infantry assault. Appropriate? I don't know where it got its name but it is a search engine that does not store searches made and seems to be neutral on politically or climatologically sensitive subjects. Your comment does remind me of the UK Second World War 'Local Defence Volunteers' or LDV, who became known as 'Look - Duck and Vanish'

Duckduckgo is the search engine I use. Bing used to beat out google, now google and bing seem to be tied for who tries to hide credible results on page 1,110.

It gets more interesting when you do a detailed search for an abstract idea in regards to AGW.
OR else Google likes you better than me?

As someone who has only lived here for the last 18 years - I still find it surprising that there are some, mainly on the left but even some on the right - Bill Kristol comes to mind - who would prefer to see the country fail rather than support a president that they don't like. Similarly, there are those that spend all their time disparaging the country that gave them their freedoms. While there are some freedom of speech issues when it comes to encouraging an unstable enemy with nuclear weapons then it becomes a little worse than "shouting fire in a crowded theater"
As the tweet above says - this is sedition especially as we are still at war with North Korea.

As for Kristol and his ilk, they are Tories and have much to lose in a revolution. Any self proclaimed "conservative" that advocated the election of HRC revealed their true identities and allegiances. Kristol, Will, McClown, Flakey and their fellow travelers are elites and know what side of the bread their butter is on.

Wasn't Kristol in a movie with a blonde and that famous line: " I'll have what she's having." ?? Sorry

"Maybe you gave your consent for your kids to participate and maybe you didn’t, but I thought it was both relevant and important for you to know who put all this in motion. Everything going down was set up by none other than the organizers of the Women’s March. The brain trust behind the Women’s March first began organizing this walkout on February 16th. They’ve been hard at work organizing for weeks to make sure the student protest went off without a hitch.........
Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory all have two things in common. They’re co-chairs of the Women’s March AND they all have a certain SPECIAL friend…........"www.glennbeck.com/2018/03/14/stephen-hawking-was-proof-all-life-is-precious-and-has-meaning/

I would allow the liberal major internet companies to censor the internet.... "Confirmed: Facebook’s Recent Algorithm Change Is Crushing Conservative Sites, Boosting Liberals
Facebook’s much-publicized demotion of publishers’ content in users’ news feeds has negatively impacted conservative-leaning publishers significantly more than liberal-leaning outlets, an analysis by The Western Journal has revealed. Liberal publishers have gained about 2 percent more web traffic from Facebook than they were getting prior to the algorithm changes implemented in early February. On the other hand, conservative publishers have lost an average of nearly 14 percent of their traffic from Facebook."www.westernjournal.com/confirmed-facebooks-recent-algorithm-change-is-crushing-conservative-voices-boosting-liberals/ "Conservative And Independent YouTube Channels Hit By Censorship And Demonetization
YouTube is now demonetizing videos from content creators deemed too controversial for the platform, and conservatives and independents are being heavily impacted.
The move follows YouTube’s announcement earlier in August to catch and flag “controversial religious and supremacist” content hosted on the popular video-hosting website. Political and social commentators on YouTube are feeling the hurt—and they believe that they may be on a blacklist for having the wrong opinions......
The Daily Caller spoke to conservative and independent YouTubers whose channels are now being affected by the new policy. Conservative journalist Lauren Southern believes there is a drive to stifle politically divergent voices.
“I think it would be insane to suggest there’s not an active effort to censor conservative and independent views,” said Southern. “Considering most of Silicon Valley participate in the censorship of alleged ‘hate speech,’ diversity hiring and inclusivity committees. Their entire model is based around a far left outline. There’s no merit hiring, there’s no support of free speech and there certainly is not an equal representation of political views at these companies.”"dailycaller.com/2017/08/11/conservative-and-independent-youtube-channels-hit-by-censorship-and-demonetization/
