Do you think this is the first time a Presidential Administration has asked a media outlet to not run a story? Or better still....asked them to run stories that they want? Do you think Trump never asked Fox to run or not run stories?
Wake me up when something new happens.
And this isn't censorship, my man. How it works is: the man who owns the printing press does what they want. Period. Full stop. This has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum.
What Americans----mostly Republicans-----now believe is that outsiders get to tell Fox, NBC, Reuters, Facebook, Twitter, etc. what they MUST print.
That's not how that works. That's not how it has EVER worked. Or do I get to tell Sean Hannity what he MUST cover every night?

Hunter's laptop story throttling by FB is a damning admission.
No. It isn't. And we've discussed this ad nauseam as well.
Quick question: when did the NYPost story about Giuliani's claim he had Hunter's laptop first appear? October of 2020. Election just two weeks away.
Second question: when did the media, including facebook, finally have possession of Hunter's laptop to verify it was, in fact, Hunter's laptop?
When you answer that question, you'll find out why not only most media outlets refused to run it, but why NYPosts own writers REFUSED to sign their names to the piece.
Musk and others know all this...and are hoping Americas are too stupid to remember what happened and more importantly..... WHEN it happened.
