Resignation Letter 6 years ago

Lol, what?

So were you able to find a "academic source" that audited the media in this way?

Exactly who else is going to cover the % of negative media coverage on Trump, in your mind, other than a "right wing" source?

Also, you're completely wrong about Fox. I don't generally watch mainstream news period, but one day it was on in a hotel, and like you, I expected neutral to positive coverage on Trump.

It was just the opposite, like 20 minutes straight of "Russia Gate," just endlessly hyping up and trying to validate the scandal. If Fox is a friend of Trump's, he doesn't need enemies.

96% Negative Spin from the main 3 networks.

Silent on Economic Success: Despite record highs in the stock market and a fifty-year low in the unemployment rate, the President’s handling of the economy was given a stingy 4 minutes, 6 seconds of airtime during these six weeks, or less than one percent of all Trump administration news (645 minutes).

Imagine using your career position as a platform to argue that Black Americans should use “separate but equal” facilities in 2020.

Isn't that one of the core tenants of the BLM campaigns? "Separate but equal" community policing for African American neighborhoods..

For now... there have been other domains whose registrars have been repeatedly banned / revoked for "hate speech", Daily Stormer comes to mind.

From the get go, it was estimated that 80% of the world population would be infected within 18-24 months.

All the shutdown was intended to do was to "slow the spread" from the 18 months to 24 months, and to hopefully keep hospitals from being overwhelmed.

Once we knew how infectious it was, Covid was always expected to infect nearly everyone eventually, whether the economy was shut down or not.

If you start posting substantive points arguing against socialism / big government you get warned. If you argue about the warning you get banned.

YC is not really any better and the main mod is a self-admitted (although he took it down now) far leftist.

One time I found all the UBI threads and every flagged / mod warned post was someone arguing against UBI (that’s apparent a flame war), but endless idealistic rambling about how great it would be was totally fine.

In restaurants I worked in a long time ago, servers would just call black people "Canadians" -- for instance, "Nope, don't sit those Canadians in my section, they don't tip."

Good luck filtering for stuff like that. And even if you did, people would just come up with new version.

Re: The core problem... Why would having extreme right wingers use your site even be a problem? Presumably extreme left wingers are okay?
