Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: Twitter Conservatives have known this and seen the manipulation for years, but it's kind of funny to see them get exposed for it. The Democrats cannot win on their message or based on their policies. They have to manipulate and brainwash the masses through schools and social media. They also have to stamp out as much conservative free speech they can get away with.

Oh....sorry, I saw the thread title and thought we were doing word association. |

Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Twitter Originally posted by Oysterboy Seriously Tony, Project Veritas? I could have wrote your response for you. Ignore the actual content of the story and attack the source. So, because it's done by an organization you don't like the factual information should be ignored? |

So you cite a bunch of left wing sources to justify ignoring the source and convincing yourself that the content isn't true? Seriously, talk about living in a bubble. I could post a bunch of links for every one of those sources where they've lied and been factually incorrect as well but I still read them to get opposing points of view. Watch the video and judge for yourself. These are twitter employees and former employees talking in detail about how they intentionally block and shadow ban conservatives. Even if 100% of everything PV has put out was untrue it doesn't change what these people are saying. |

Anyways, as far as I'm concerned, I don't put much stock in social media so Twitter can do whatever they want, Facebook for that matter as well. Edited by Oysterboy 2018-01-11 8:05 PM |

Twitter, google, reddit, facebook, etc are intentionally hiding and burying conservative content in order to promote the Democratic party platform and influence elections. By law they are acting as a PAC and should be heavily regulated as such if they want to restrict political speech. That's my rub. |

Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Twitter BTW, I did read the national review one you posted. They're talking about when their actor got outed trying to see if the news would fall for it. Anyways, it had nothing to do with the credibility of what they produced, only that their actor got busted. I'll also admit that it's pushing the envelope to create an alleged sexual assault victim, but it's not much different than dateline NBC posing as teenage girls and having sexual conversations online with men. |

Expert 2373 Floriduh | Subject: RE: Twitter No, they are not equivalent. In the case of the news media the argument could be made that what they are doing is entrapment. It certainly crosses the line if the young girl says anything suggestive of a crime. In the PV scenario, the young woman is going to the police with a lie that a crime has occurred. This is not how journalism is done and because of this, and other things PV has done they have lost any credibility they had. These recordings they have could well be valid, or could be totally faked, I don't know and considering the original source I am skeptical. I also don't eat at Chipotle for exactly the same reason. For those that rely on Twitter, FB, Instagram as the source of information that shapes their world view and opinion, 49.9% of the people in this country have below average intelligence. |

However, what PV did was no different than any other investigative journalism organization conducting undercover operations to try and flush out a story. |

Pro 15655 | Subject: RE: Twitter There are no entrapment laws for the media......they can "investigate" however they wish. They only way entrapment comes into play is if they are acting as agents for law enforcement. They can "investigate" all they want and just leave it out there for the public. Never talk to the media OR the police.....rules to live by.

I can certainly respect the argument that they did in that case and they paid a price for it too. I think their typical MO is hiring hot girls to hit on nerdy staffers and they'll tell you every secret they know if they think they're going to get lucky. hah If you notice in the twitter video the vast majority of the under cover peeps are women. |
