Absolutely. This guys company is just a younger, (formerly) hipper version of Fox news. Fuck FB.

Fox News? What?

I mean that Fb/Meta has been responsible for a lot of damage in recent years and it’s no better than a propaganda funnel for conspiracy theorists and contrarians. In that respect it’s got it’s parallels with Fox and I’ll be happy when both have gone the way of the dodo.

I mean that's not actually true but you can keep on believing it.

Think about it this way. People have such a low confidence in your intelligence, they basically concluded that your entire opinion is nothing more than what Facebook and Fox News told you to think. But if you think they are wrong, because you plan to still be an idiot even if these right wing propaganda machines didn’t exist, then you shouldn’t have any concerns about holding both companies accountable for their lies.

How about we hold the MSM accountable for all of their lies, too? Pretty selective outrage about lies there.

Fox News and Facebook are mainstream.

Facebook is a social media platform just like Reddit. Reddit doesn't stop you from posting misinformation - why should Facebook?

Solve the misinformation problem at the source.

So how about MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC etc.?

So how about them? They are all right wing outlets owned by conservative billionaires. But they are not as bad as Fox News and Facebook in spreading Chinese and Russian propaganda, instigating violent insurrections, and filling impressionable redneck minds with nonsense.

No, they are not owned by conservative billionaires. They're owned by large corporations who have been coopted by the woke left. And they are spreading massive amounts of lies.

Yes, we already know the nonsense that Tucker, Hanity, and Russian intelligence services told you to think.

You’re probably going to need therapy once you realize that Fox News is getting it’s ass handed to you in court for lying to people such as yourself. If you are so smart that you think you can find proof of Jewish Space Lasers programming the minds of the “left wing” billionaire corporate owners, I suggest you sue CNN, ABC, NBC, etc., yourself. Will love to see your proof, will be very entertaining. Until then, actual provable disinformation and anti-American incitement is being spread by Fox News and Facebook.

Lol. Someone is a fan of dumb assumptions. The number of hours of cable news television that I have watched in the last year can be counted on one hand, without the need for any fingers.

But keep assuming.

Yep, I know. Brother, you don't have to convince me twice that you've cut out the middle man and gone straight for the fully concentrated good stuff. You're hooked up to the online feeds straight from Russia and China.

I don't think that logical reasoning is your friend.

We all know that without Fox News and Facebook, you would not have any friends. Your world would only be filled by people like me, telling you the truth, telling you that you're nuts. That's why it's so important to you to defend Fox News and Facebook. Literally like an addict when their family tries to throw away their stash. What would you do without all the right wing lies that you've built your entire world around?
