to be fair, VOX is *very* liberal and left wing.Prove it.Yes, if by "some", you mean "everybody".Here in America, we support freedom. Well, freedom-supporting Americans do. Leftists don't, your impotent sputtering notwithstanding.
You support freedom for some...I'm sure.
I don't want anyone silenced. I want everyone to be able to express and explain their opinions, no matter how stupid or vile they may be.
You know why?
Because I trust people to make the right decisions. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I should be able to pick and choose whose views should be silenced by threat of government force...or whose should be mandated by threat of government force.
Well good. Not every rightist feels that way. They feel the media should be more regulated.
Why some conservatives want to regulate Facebook and Twitter

for example, in this article:
"These conservatives aren’t advocating for the development of alternatives that will cater to conservatives. Instead, they want the government to do something about it."
there are a lot of sites popping up but they get taken over quick by people who want to cuss a lot and be 13. also, if these sites are not being biased, then why would the right/cons *need* to develop an alternative? they seem to be talking out both sides of their mouth. that alone undermines the "not biased" argument. it also ignores the countless people leaving facebook who talk about the open bias internally.
so - for me to be clear - do you think twitter and facebook *are* biased towards the left and if so, do you think they manage their sites in that fashion? shutting down thought that doesn't pass their "rules"?
obama went after journalists HARD - so far trump just hits back via the media, not goes behind it to take down journalists speaking poorly of him. sharyl attkisson is a prime example as she was spied on by the obama camp and they conducted a smear campaign on her also.
we can't look at issues that only affect 1 side and make judgements there. we must take off blinders and bias and ask "are these actions ok if done to me" and if not, dive into why we allow them when done to others.
