Having a bit of a laugh over some co-workers guessing that Greenland malicious influence operation would be that Mercator Map Projections are REAL!  

 

Put that in with the Qanon stuff. 

I'm a tad sad because I wanted Greenland as part of America.   But I also remember something happening because he was distracted with buying Greenland but my memory is vague.

Business makes business decision.

That's called capitalism, Archie. 

Yep I agree.  What channels a company airs is all about how much it costs them and how many viewers they get in return.  I can see where you are coming from but I wasn't referring to a business decision with my comment.  I was referring to the "one down two to go" comment.   If someone doesn't like something then don't watch.  The idea of wanting to shut down one side of the political media because you don't like their message is wrong in my opinion.

I am using my freedom of speech to say that I think that the Overthrow America Network is bad for this country. If you don’t like it then go back to Russia.

How are they worse than CNN, MSNBC or all of the msm?  These outlets like to campaign openly for the democrats, ignore things that make the dems look bad and report half truths to lead their minions around by the nose to make them think the democrats are actually for the US and the American citizens.  Have you ever asked yourself why Fox News is the highest rated cable news network by a long way.

But let's be honest here.... conservatives are all about shutting down speech they don't like. 

That's really what this comes down to, and a big reason why the cancel culture debate is mostly just a bunch of bollocks in my view : the same people who complain about OANN today had no problem canceling Natalie Maines for her comments back in the day about the Iraq War. Or calling for Colin Kaepernick's head.

It all comes down to whose ox is being gored.... if one wants to be really principled and say you are all about free speech, you need to do it in all instances. And one needs to be able to recognize that businesses making a business decisions or trusts making decisions in their private interests (ie. the dumb Dr. Seuss controversy) is not cancel culture, but simply business.

Because the base of potential MSNBC/CNN viewers may be more predisposed to get their news via more traditional sources (ie. newspapers / national news broadcasts) than they would be from watching cable news?

They are far worse because they advocated, and still advocate, the overthrow of American democracy in order to keep the guy who legitimately lost the 2020 election as president, against the will of the people.

OAN is bad for America. Good for Russia.
