Facebook Removes Conservative Group’s Ad Without Citing Any Factual Error
« on: September 16, 2020, 11:00:41 pm »


Facebook removed an advertisement from a conservative interest group without citing any factual errors, sparking renewed accusations of liberal bias at the social network.

Facebook removed the ad after attaching a "Missing Context" notice to an American Principles Project advertisement that spotlights Democrats' support for the Equality Act. The ad accused Michigan senator Gary Peters and Joe Biden of trying to "destroy girls' sports" by supporting the legislation.

"All female athletes want is a fair shot at competition," a voiceover in the advertisement says. "At a scholarship, at a title, at victory. And what if that shot was taken away by a competitor who claims to be a girl, but was born a boy? Senator Gary Peters and Joe Biden support legislation that would destroy girls' sports. They call it equality. Really? That's not fair, not fair at all. Vote against Gary Peters and Joe Biden. They are too extreme for Michigan."

As Florence Reese sang back in the 1930's:
Which side are you on, boys...?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Check out who the "Fact Checkers" are. Just repost the link in the comments, and dare them to remove it. I do and it usually stays up.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Looks like Facebook is going all in on a Biden victory.

'Cause if Trump wins I have a feeling things will be changing for them, tax wise.
