Title: Anyone else notice that aol is now not allowing comments to anti-Trump news stories they report?

Has anyone else noticed that even then they try to slant them into the negative by quoting Dim officials every chance they get,AND most of all,they do not allow comments on the pro-Trump news reports like they do with the negative ones and the pro-Biden ones.

There is always a choice.

@jmyrlefuller

I do. Free email addresses that are anonymous as to your location,and the best damn email setup I have ever seen. My very first email address was an AOL.COM email address,and I still use it.

It is also free.


Plus,I use AOL for my home page. Until very recently,there were good news reports there,and interesting comment boards that allowed both viewpoints. Those days are gone now,though. Every board that is political now has a PC babysitter,and no negative posts about Dims are allowed.

AOL was my first internet provider as well as email provider,way back in the stone ages. For ALL that time every news story they report has had a comments section for reader to give their opinions on what was just reported.

At first,they even alAlowed replies to negative news reports about Trump,but heavily edited them. The got to the point recently that all posts to a Trump thread were monitored for "civility". If your post was considered to be rude or use "aggressive language",it didn't post.

Until now. Now they just flat don't allow reader comments.

And we are STILL supposed to believe that Trump is wildly unpopular,and his supporters are all "fringe people,kooks and malcontents".

Uh,huh.

Twitter is a macrocosm of that in full fury. 

I know you don't use twatter but what now gets put in the "offensive" skips is very very full of normal comments that have zero violations of their so called standards policy.  It's basically now full throttled ideological supression. 

That is why I am hoping Parler gets back on its feet soon.

Which has been the Dims goal since Day One. After all,the modern Dim Party developed into what it is when agents of the Russian Revolution of 1917 immigrated to America to start a new Revolution with the goal of achieving a World Wide Soviet Government. They started the Farm Labor Party in Mn,and even though it was an is effective in Mn politics,it never went national,as they were hoping,so they just infiltrated other groups and gradually took them over from the inside.

Russia may have give up communism,but their rich American brothers and sisters of the "Socialist Soul" have never given up and never will.

So you're saying it's limping along (but back on its feet)....lol.

Heard/read some not good things about Parler so I probably won't bother with it now.

Read up a few post.  They are apparently having re-start issues after being booted last month.  Great concept, but having a tough go of it right now.

I got on to my account last night, but basically couldn't do anything else.   I hope they can fix things.

You have to be registered and logged in to see anything on it, and that's a bad thing.  For one, it harms search engines like DuckDuckGo.
