Hunter is really involved in shady companies in shady countries, that’s he’s not qualified for.
The media would be going nuts over this, like they went nuts for how Trump likes his steaks and how he eats his chicken. Let’s at least be honest that the media would absolutely skewer Trump for this.

That’s fine. It does get tiring hearing over and over about the media. That’s all I hear from everyone around me, this while FOX news is on the entire time. Doesn’t everyone just watch the news channels that slants it towards their opinion? I don’t get the never ending complaining about the media.

It’s because most people get their information from the TV and/or Facebook. Facebook has already decided it will ban any Hunter Biden content because they say they haven’t vetted it. They didn’t do that for literally anything related to Trump. If the media never reports on this, then people will never know. They’ll think Biden is just a nice old man with a troubled son and Trump is an evil tyrant, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners.

Echo chambers need to be broken. The media’s job is to report news. This is HUGELY important and impactful for the election, yet they will bury it.
Twitter too -
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Twitter has blocked a controversial New York Post article on Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, from being shown or shared—the first time the social media company has proactively blocked an article from a major mainstream news organization <a href="https://t.co/7KcEsSgnyk">https://t.co/7KcEsSgnyk</a></p>— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) <a href="https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1316459948092657664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I don’t remember Twitter and Facebook blocking content about the Russia collusion bullshit that turned out to be 100% fake.

Making millions off of Dad's 47 years of "public service" - sad thing is Joe is really just enabling his son's drug addiction and debauchery. Well that and the fact we have had 4 years of Russia hoax when Biden has real corruption all around him. Such a joke that Republicans can't get any of these jokers locked up over the last 4 years. They aren't even trying.

For reference Hunter got picked up to be on the board of Burisma 2 months after getting kicked out of the Navy for using cocaine. Like.... What?

I was going to vote for Trump this year until I read that Tommy Lee swore he'd move to Greece if Trump got reelected. Well, that just changed e'rthing for me. Noooooooo, we can't lose Tommy! Biden it is then.

Have any of these shallow twits who've threatened to leave if some candidate gets elected (here's looking at you Rosie, Miley, Alec, etc.) ever actually kept their promise and packed up and moved?

The best was John Legend and Crissy Teigan saying something similar on the same day news broke that they bought a new 17M mansion. Rough world for those 2. So much systemic racism holding them back. The hypocrisy with Hollywood elite and athletes these days is nauseating. 17M sure could go a long way in helping the out of control homeless population in California.

Yes, and guess what channels they watch and follow? The ones that agree with their opinions. Most people live in their own echo chambers. They just watch news and look for ways to slam the other side.
I always just assume the main job of every news outlet, newspaper, magazine, etc... is to make money. You're living in a fantasy world if you think their job is to just report facts and nothing more. Always been that way. And yes, they all have biases.

So you don’t take issue with the fact that they are censoring content that would harm a certain political party and not banning it for another? I don’t disagree with your premise on echo chambering but what we are talking about here is something much different. We’re talking about the two largest tech media platforms censoring content less than a month before an election that is extremely important.
Go look at the Facebook guy’s LinkedIn and tell me what you find. Actually I’ll just tell you. He worked for Barbara Boxer. You think that guy is gonna be objective and non-partisan?
This is a massive issue. Facebook is a platform, not a publisher. They don’t get to do this while still retaining their immunity for hosting things like child porn and other criminal stuff by accident.

Twitter and Facebook have flirted with begging to be regulated by the Feds for years but I think they may have all but guaranteed it today.
NY Post article is banned, while they have allowed much more harmful content available, continue to make that content available, and will continue in the future to allow that sort of material to be accessible is going to put them in a bind.

Honestly, I don't care. I'm not on any social media personally. It's all terrible and don't know how/why people spend so much time on it.
I'll just bow out because I really can't stand the political dialogue in this country. Obviously some people enjoy it and that's fine. I shouldn't even click on this thread. My bad. Go Irish.

Heck, we should have charged a few with unrelated process crimes, and then threw a victory party like others!!

Who and what now? Somethings got you all bothered, the best way for people to help you is to clearly and articulately state your concern.
That’s funny.

Whoa, be patient. We're still sorting through and reading all the posts from your side apologizing and admitting you were wrong about the Russian collusion stuff. We'll get to it when we're finished.

I think Sasse has generally been fairly critical of the President. He sorta does what he wants to do.

LOL. I'm sorry.
I must of missed when you apologized after we found out the Russian collusion thingy was bullshit lol.. Did you apologize when it was found that the FISA process was abused? Or when it came out that they had exculpatory evidence in the Flynn investigation, but still pursued lol...

A swamp rat lobbyist, I'm shocked.
Funny the shock over this though. So it's outrageous that a known swamp rat is doing this, but it's OK when Hunter Biden is paid for all his "experience and skills". I forgot though, Daddy didn't know. Hunter and Joe did nothing wrong, amiright?
I think you are conflating questionable ethical behavior with illegal behavior.
Do you really think if there was anything criminal here that Barr wouldn’t have filed charges months ago?
All these “blockbuster investigations” have come up with squat.
