IMPORTANT: There is absolutely no evidence that social media companies are discriminating against conservatives. Zero. None.

But Trump and Republicans continue to press this point anyway.

It's yielding results.

What media outlet gets the most distribution on Facebook?

FOX NEWS

Facebook is also paying Fox News to produce 12 shows a week for Facebook Watch

Trump and the GOP continue to complain because it gives them access and potentially more favorable treatment

Facebook is conducting a study on political bias that only involves conservatives

Twitter's CEO went on Hannity

Why would the right-wing stop making this bogus charge?

TRUMP: "At the request of Democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall."

What Democrat has requested a border wall made of steel?
TRUMP: "The border wall would very quickly pay for itself."

Absolutely no evidence of this. Trump cites the cost of illegal drugs, most of which come through official ports of entry.
TRUMP: "The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."

This is not true. And the deal hasn't even been approved by Congress.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

I did a summary on what’s happened with @GenFlynn Its short and to the point. Please watch and share — but there’s more.
As I was navigating, I noticed something infuriating. The other day I asked folks to subscribe to me on YouTube so that I could FINALLY bring myself over the 100k subscriber threshold. You answered in spectacular fashion. In that request I explained that (cont)
(Cont) youtube was REMOVING hundreds of subs every time I got close. I’d gain 500 and lose 400. I’d gain 600 and lose 700. This has been going on for 6 full months. It’s infuriating because it holds me back from visibility to others.

URGENT: PROTEST IT: Kavanaugh's confirmation is the most important development since the US presidential election of 2016. If confirmed, SCOTUS, as Trump's court, will stop Mueller's investigation, change the constitution and extend the presidential term.
1. While the public is distracted by fabricated scandals, Trump is taking over the legislation system, judicial system and enforcement apparatus, following Putin's scheme of usurping the power.
2. Kavanaugh's nomination timeline speaks for itself.
