    The left loves diversity as long as you agree with their thoughts and ideas, otherwise you get the ignorant banter shown in this thread. Jones is an idiot but it is obvious the major social platforms conspired/colluded to do this to stifle a media outlet that was putting the main stream media to shame on these platforms. CNN was a major player in getting this done yet they bay at the moon every day that the press is being restricted by Trump. Is Jones news bullshit? Probably but the silicon valley companies should not be able to arbitrate who they feel is/isnt worthy of speaking their minds. This shouldnt be a left/right issue but an issue about who and why a small group of company heads can wield the power of speech on so called open platforms. The response from the left and a great deal of posters on this board are exactly the reason I will NEVER go back to the democratic party.

    What are you saying? That the government should force private companies to broadcast stuff they don't want to broadcast??? I'll just ignore most of your crazy nutzo post - I'm focusing on the part where you say that "companies should not be able to arbitrate who they feel is/isn't worthy of speaking their minds.... (it's) an issue about who and why a small group of company heads can wield the power of speech on so-called open platforms." I have to interpret that as you saying you think it should not be legal for them decide what they can do with their privately owned streaming platform.
    Wtf are you doing on the 10C boards btw? 10C does exactly what you're bitching about YouTube doing, only in a much more arbitrary way. I'm surprised you want to "subject" your free speech to such an assault.

    The party don’t want nor need you. Conspired? Colluded? Sounds like a distraction from Donny, Jr. I hear Q is accepting new adherents.

    He also said that Infowars puts mainstream media to shame, so I'm not sure we should expect any rationality here.

    "This shouldn't be a left/right issue".  Haha!  Dude, you crack me up.  Look who is making it a left/right issue!  

    I'm all for diversity but I don't use that word much  any more (it's a bit too trendy for my tastes).  I'm guessing you're a bigger fan than many of us here because your posts certainly add some spicy diversity!

    Anyone saying Infowars is just a "right wing" outlet is either misled or are purposely misleading. It's a whacko conspiracy outlet purposely trying to divide and outrage people by spewing outright hatred. There are no right wing outlets being shut down. 
    Exactly

    How do some of you guys not know about Alex Jones and infowars? Been asleep since 9/11?

    Unsung is clearly showing he was a devout listener, probably even harrassed the victims families of Sandy Hook?

    my2hands,

    I tried to listen to him back in 08, one time though.  I couldn’t take the endless product pitches of Super Male Vitality more than the first ten times.

    But, all means, continue on.  
    OF COURSE. It was the ads that offended Unsung—not the whole “claiming murdered kids were really child actors” thing. Haha—WTF

    You can’t write this stuff.

    from the article.....

    Indeed, Infowars’ own website says in its terms of service that the company “may review and delete any content you post on the website or elsewhere utilizing our services or system if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the content violates the rights of others, is not appropriate for the website, or otherwise violates this agreement.”

    apparently wants it both ways......
