To....<br /><br /><i>The record is far from complete...</i><br /><br />Ironic.<br /><br />Today, in defense of Prager and his fundamentalism, you argue for complete openness. <br /><br />What I don't hear you arguing about is openness, being able to hear both sides of an argument, when it comes to discussion of the Russian investigation something that affects our national security.<br /><br />Forget what federal group it is that determines which documents are considered official and must be archived for the official records and for FOIA, but whichever one it is has determined that Trump's tweets are part of the official record. Trump loves the number of people he has following his tweets. It grows every day. It's a source of pride that he brags about. However, he selectively blocks followers who offer up negative comments in response to his tweets. However, I never hear a peep from you about him distorting the historical record.<br /><br />It appears your umbrage is also selective.<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-54565298236452567282018-02-23T02:21:47.592-05:002018-02-23T02:21:47.592-05:00...Arthur Brooks is another of the child-level pre......Arthur Brooks is another of the child-level presenters.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-78035927573941492142018-02-23T02:20:31.047-05:002018-02-23T02:20:31.047-05:00Sometimes your sarcasm serves only to further expo...Sometimes your sarcasm serves only to further expose your silliness.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-55672353213615421852018-02-23T02:09:38.321-05:002018-02-23T02:09:38.321-05:00"The only audience that could possibly take t...<br />"<i>The only audience that could possibly take this guy seriously, children</i>."<br /><br />===<br /><br />Yep, Dershowitz, Hirsi Ali, Andrew Klavan, Victor Davis Hanson, Johna Goldberg, among others, all dimbulbs renowned only for their books for children. <br /><br />Serious argument, for sure.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-45597489117675483182018-02-23T01:54:57.583-05:002018-02-23T01:54:57.583-05:00.

The PragerU videos range on various subjects presenting a conservative point of view, and include a video by noted Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz on the founding of Israel. PragerU previously compiled a complete list of their restricted videos here, which includes: “Why America Must Lead,” “The Ten Commandments: Do Not Murder,” “Why Did America Fight the Korean War,” and “The World’s Most Persecuted Minority: Christians.” <br /><br />In correspondence cited in the filing, Google/YouTube made it clear that the censorship of certain videos was because they were deemed “inappropriate” for younger audiences.<br /><br />“Watch any one of our videos and you’ll immediately realize that Google/YouTube censorship is entirely ideologically driven. For the record, our videos are presented by some of the finest minds in the Western world, including four Pulitzer Prize winners, former prime ministers, and professors from the most prestigious universities in America,” stated PragerU founder Dennis Prager.<br /><br />https://www.prageru.com/press-release-prager-university-prageru-takes-legal-action-against-google-and-youtube-discriminationDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-19880575027720919322018-02-23T00:02:59.135-05:002018-02-23T00:02:59.135-05:00Excellent display of your detachment from reality....Excellent display of your detachment from reality.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-78518624971776205762018-02-22T23:24:06.694-05:002018-02-22T23:24:06.694-05:00President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he’s ...<i>President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he’s considering pulling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers out of California.<br /><br />Why?

(Or, just that crazy tic symptomatic of Doug's fixation with that nebulous group, the MSM, a group which he adamantly refuses to define?) The only problem with his theory of course is that social media, guys like Facebook, Twitter, Google could give a shit about the MSM except as a source of input that generates user interest. <br /><br />In the end, the only things these platforms are interested in are clicks and the revenue they can generate from them. That's why as a business they have no interest in purging phony accounts or taking down fake news stories that generate a lot of clicks. It takes money to track and delete bots, fake news stories, or phony sites and when they take them down they in many cases lose even more revenue. Why? Because the always an audience among the Illiterati for the kind of conspiracy stories generated by many of these sites. They eat them up.<br /><br />So why are the social media companies now deleting bots associated with Russia or putting out fake news stories? Because of the pressure they are receiving from governments here and in Europe since 2016. Examples in Europe, the UK has been threatening them with libel laws to impose fines. For example, 'Leave' groups there were complaining about the coverage they were getting over Brexit. In Germany, they passed a law affecting the social media companies that allows fines of up to $50 million if fake news stories aren't taken down within 24 hours. Here there have been a number of Congressional hearings because of the effect of the Russian interference in the 2016 election and social media's inaction in taking the stories down.<br /><br />These companies are acting voluntarily now to avoid even further government control in their businesses in the future.<br /><br />When new policies are put in place with these companies they make the policy changes known to their users and provide a means (usually a phone number they can call) if their accounts get inadvertently deleted while the offending bots or fake news sites are being taken down.<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-7717168313156356782018-02-22T22:53:34.985-05:002018-02-22T22:53:34.985-05:00Basque is unrelated to any other language known.
