I posted a comment critical of the behavior of the hundreds of the adults receiving missionaries at the SLC airport. A person replied to my comment, better watch it, your comment will be deleted as mine was. I’m thinking, no way. Unbelievably he was right. This has occurred several times in the last year or two on several different subjects. Well, the good news, one less propaganda outlet I care to visit ever again.
By the same token, the L.A. Times, N.Y. Slimes, MSLSD, Washington Compost, Communist News Network, major TV networks, entertainment/sports industry, Google, Et al., are so slanted and biased they make Cougarboard.com seem downright fair and objective.
I quoted a passage in the Book of Mormon about Charity and the Mods over there took my post down. Imagine that, a Book of Mormon passage being so offensive they took it down.
Since my comment was about Charity I think it was far too left wing for the Deseret News.
I’ll take CNN, LAT, NYC, etc., over Fox – they are all biased toward something. As a minimal political, party-neutral person, now that I’ve moved back to Trump country, or Utah, time is certainly interesting. Logic and reason seem to be missing, and have been for some time.
Gee I must have missed all the “far right” people calling for twitter, youtube and fb to be shut down.
So you are actually pro-censorship, just prefer to call names when the censors are not on the same ideological team as you. For a minute there I thought you may have actually cared about the value of speaking one’s mind in public, especially if it is criticism one believes is important.
I’ve not been to the D-News website for some time. I remember my Mom calling it the Sheep Herder Gazette for it’s views. Although I do remember their coverage of our Utes to be decent, never great, but decent.
That being said, I do like to get a variety of views on something. I found this aggregator of left, right, and center websites: AllSides | Balanced news via media bias ratings for an unbiased news perspective. I can’t say it’s perfect, but you at least get multiple sources at one time for the biggest topics of the day. Sadly that means nothing on RMs at Salt Lake International, but just a suggestion for down the road.
Because instead of agreeing that the three much larger companies engaging in censorship is also idiotic in the same way, you “twisted” that to be about supposed calls for shut downs by the censored.
Also, there are ample substitutes for DesNews, but not so much (at least in terms of scale of audience) for twitter, youtube & fb. Those three also have legal protections because they were defined as “platforms” and not “publishers”, which is kind of a big difference.
REMEMBER: back when the DesNews fired over half their staff they pretty blatantly stated they were going to become an effective propaganda outlet for the LDS church, with zero intent of remaining objective or impartial… It’s literally no different than the old PRAVDA or Izvestia.
