    Rather than continuing to add these to the CNN topic, I figured this was a better place for this.

    I've already observed election interference by Twitter and Facebook by censoring the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden emails allegedly showing that Joe Biden in fact (shock) potentially lying about meeting with the Ukrainian. Twitter's canned response was that it was illegal (hacked) material.

    Now how many times have ANY outlet on the left, the "news" or Twitter/Facebook/Google blocked, censored, or flagged ANY questionable/damaging/untrue story about this administration?
    - Trump's taxes, which were illegally obtained? Nope, run it up the flag pole, even with the big nothingburger it was. He in fact paid millions in taxes, as recorded in the tax returns.
    - Recorded conversations with Melania, likely breaking an NDA and possibly against the law by recording a private conversation? Regardless of legality, disgusting to break Melania's trust in that manner. Oh, and of course, it received as much attention as they could muster.
    - How many other unverified and untrue stories have been allowed to run because they falsely painted Trump and his family in a bad light?

    Somehow, only when Conservatives speak does it risk cancellation.

    Hilariously, the Biden camp doesn't even dispute the meeting, even claiming it is possible that it happened! Previous to the emails coming out, the only response was avoidance, that "it wasn't on his calendar".

    I think that the problem might be that the Secret Service may have records about the meeting. Heard that the first thing that Biden's lawyer did was call the computer repair shop and demand the return of the computer. (not sure if this is true but if it is, he needs a new lawyer.)

    Well, Tapper on CNN has finally addressed it, which DNI Grenell promptly observed that the story actually broke back in October. Hmmm....what's changed??

    This was an NBC "Factcheck" back in May

    President Donald Trump has suggested multiple times that a coronavirus vaccine could come within months, an accelerated timeline that prominent health experts and veteran vaccine developers say is unlikely absent a miracle.///
    What a bunch of liars they are. And the gall to call their crap "factcheck" is the worst. The Constitution gives these vermin protection because they are suppose to inform the public of matters of interest. They've abused that privilege to the point that it is a bad joke. And the worst part is that there are millions of citizens of this country that believe their ****.

    Here we go again, just a week after we found out that the media story of Russian bounties on US troops had no reliable sources, NBC AGAIN edited a 911 call on its newscast. NBC you might remember got caught editing the 911 call that George Zimmerman made about Travon Martin. Once again the network whose slogan is "Truth be told" is twisting the truth.
    Getting back to the Russian bounty lie, remember it not only effected Trump's decision the withdraw troops from Afghanistan when he planned but, never one to miss a lie Biden used it in the debates. We all know that the media buried the true story about Hunter Biden but played up the lie about the bounties to influence the gullible in the last election.

    A meticulous thread regarding how the media engaged in a poisonous propaganda campaign in its coverage of the Columbus shooting rather than trying to explain what actually took place:
