    Is Facebook pretending to be a news outlet or primarily something where people post pictures of their kids and pets?

    Here is one example of why Facebook needs a public editor. When someone is live streaming a news event they are essentially a journalist. When FB censors someone live streaming a news event they need to be accountable to the public as to the why of the censorship. Facebook is not the NY Times but those in the journalist business say they are playing in the same sandbox. Facebook having an ombudsman would mean they would have some oversight as to accuracy, fairness, making corrections and keeping Facebook accountable to it's consumers. Facebook says they do this themselves in house but having a neutral outside ombudsman would be better especially to those of us who have concerns about their in house oversight at Facebook.

    If someone is trusting some random person on the internet making a live video  and placing the same faith in them as they would Cronkite, they are being silly.

    Those 30 year olds were the 4chan meme army that helped elect Trump. 

    Who do you think was making all of the memes you posted in here?

    I don't for the life me understand why a MAGA hat or in this case a MAGA dress would bother or upset anyone...I was not an Obama fan but I would never care in the least if someone wore an Obama hat or anything like that. That is their business not mine but time after time we see those on the left acting crazy just at the sight of anything with the words MAGA on it.

    To be transparent, I would find it just as corny if some helmet head had an Obama themed wedding.

    Below is not isolated but it has been said by many other journalists as well:

    Would you say that Facebook is a media company?

    "I don’t know if a label’s important. It’s committing acts of journalism when it’s live-streaming events.

    The industry went through this Oh God, who’s a journalist — how do we define a journalist? thing. At this point, you almost can’t. That is one of the beautiful things that’s happened, but, like everything, it’s a two-edged sword. The fact that it’s so open, so democratic, and so available to anyone with a phone … I’ve been in this business thirty years. It’s mind-boggling how it’s changed. I just came into television when it was going over to video: You used to have to mail cans of film! It’s astonishing, and it’s wonderful, and it’s rich, but it has a downside.

    What rules, if any, do we make: That’s the next evolution. You may not be a journalist, but if you happen to be watching what happened in Dallas happen and you take out your phone, you are committing an act of journalism. It’s unfettered, unmitigated, it doesn’t have the context — that comes later. But it is an act of journalism, for sure."

    Liberals Viciously Harass MAGA-Themed Bride, Wish Death Upon Her Son in ICU with Brain Bleed

    West Michigan resident Audra Johnson, who went viral after wearing a wedding dress with “Make America Great Again” embroidered upon it, has been receiving vicious threats from liberals in the days since her July 4 wedding.

    “I can’t believe the hypocrisy coming out of the left,” Johnson told Big League Politics. “For being the party of tolerance, they sure are being intolerant.”

    Johnson, a pro-life activist in the Michigan Republican Party who is the Kent County leader for the Michigan Heartbeat Coalition, has had her Facebook page attacked by liberal trolls who have posted demeaning, sexist, and hate-filled remarks incessantly since her wedding to military veteran Jeff Johnson.

    Even more disgustingly, liberals wished death upon Johnson’s son who is in the intensive care unit at the Helen Devos Children Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI with a brain bleed following an ATV accident on Friday.

    “I posted about my son being in the ICU because of a bad accident he was in yesterday,” Johnson said. “There was nothing political about the post. Liberals immediately began celebrating his injuries. Some even going as far as to say they hoped he die.”

    Facebook has allowed all of these abusive posts to remain on her page as the trolls continue to post their unadulterated hate, while posts defending Johnson against the polls are getting flagged by the censors.

    Once again, the base of the Democrats – whose slogan was once “Love Trumps Hate” – is showing that they support the most vile forms of harassment against their political enemies. They will likely continue to grow more unhinged and violent as the presidential election in 2020 comes into focus.

    She could make her posts not public....

    I think she is a dipshit for having a wedding themed after a politician but wishing harm on her kid is awful. The kid has a dork ass mom who wears a MAGA dress. Life is hard enough for him.

    Lots of people here are not just the masses. One of the articles I posted was from a journalist with 30 years in the business. The others are from some knowledgeable people as well in journalism. They understand the concept of journalism and what it means.

    And some of us thought he was a fraudulent con well before he ever ran for dogcatcher. There are a lot of big time corporate banks that figured that out a long time ago and would never give him or his empire another loan. Enter the Russian bank disguised as Deutsche Bank. And yet, because he appeals to what you want to hear, you elect a well known corrupt con.
