It’s not illegal, and it’s also petty. But I also agree it’s annoying as shit to watch most news outlets lean left. Maybe it’s in their nature as libs like to push the envelope and cons like to keep the envelope closed.
@89th That distinction is very blurry these days, as "conservatives" are the ones who want social change more than the "progressives". That's what happens when the left dominates mainstream popular culture for multiple generations in a row. It becomes the home of psychological conservatives, who don't happen to use the word "conservative" when they self-identify. Phenotypically, the panicked reaction of older educated white females with their luxury beliefs, to the advent of the Trump era, is identical to the panicked reactions 60 years ago of older religious types as they watched their culture changing.

There's an obvious difference between a public lawsuit and secret, behind the scenes pressure from the government, with an implied quid pro quo.

There are differences but the end result is the same. Perhaps worse in trumps case. The media companies are acting out of fear of retribution. The twitter files revealed that twitter was comfortable pushing back when they wanted to.

Of what value is the "when they wanted to" qualifier, when the moderating teams were all aligned with progressive political intent? And in the presence of an obvious implied quid pro-quo, if only in the feeling that one is in the good graces of those who pull governmental strings? No, I'll take the public and transparent lawsuit, every day.

Did you listen to the Zuckerberg interview with Rogan?
"Comfortable" is not a word that applied to the government pressure.

You're conflating the Twitter Files with Facebook.
Zuckerberg was really clear about the pressure that the Biden administration put on them. And there was not much comfortable pushback from Meta AFAICT.
Perhaps there was at Twitter, but Zuck didn't mention it at his shop.

For me, it is interesting that the chicken flu is pretty much 100% fatal. Most diseases do not want to be 100% fatal, as that prevents them spreading and continuing to "live".

I guess government policies like mandatory culling make certain avian diseases “100% fatal” to prevent spreading.
