"Censored in America"- John Stossel

Post by _ldsfaqs »

A good expose on censorship..... what the left does to promote it, enable it, and demand it.

The 4th video above sadly got cut off some, still looking for a fuller one.

Here's another great Stossel on the similar subject.

John Syosset from Fox, right?
Leonard Pitts, Jr., in Why Serious People Discount Fox News wrote:It’s amazing, the things you can get used to, that can come to seem normal. In America, it has come to seem normal that a major news organization functions as the propaganda arm of an extremist political ideology, that it spews a constant stream of racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, paranoia and manufactured outrage, and that it does so with brazen disregard for what is factual, what is right, what is fair, what is balanced — virtues that are supposed to be the sine qua non of anything calling itself a newsroom.

If you live with aberrance long enough, you can forget it’s aberrance. You can forget that facts matter, that logic is important, that science is critical, that he who speaks claptrap loudly still speaks claptrap — and that claptrap has no place in reasoned and informed debate. Sometimes, it takes someone from outside to hold up a mirror and allow you to see more clearly what you have grown accustomed to.

You are so gullible and ignorant....

If you knew anything you would know he used to have his own show for YEARS on another network.
He was well known for cutting through the mess and getting at the common sense truth.

Further, as liberals always do, they personally attack people, instead of deal with the issues in question.
Why don't you for a change "debunk" the content of the show?

More so, your quote is nothing more than liberal perverted LYING..... It is YOU people who need to be shown the mirror, how you have been brainwashed to call everyone that don't agree with you, racist, bigots, homophobes, etc. when such people are nothing of the sort. In fact, it's entirely WHY I even post on this forum, to show you people YOUR bigotry, your lying, etc. of Mormonism and Conservatism, and how liberalism is evil, and how truly evil you people are, how you're no different from the KKK or Fanatical Islam in your ignorance and bigotry. It's why I hate you people so much, because that IS how truly bigoted you all are, so I'm the one holding up the mirror FOR YOU..... to see what you all actually look like and are.

So, everything you just quoted in fact actually applies to YOU..... not me, not conservatives. But, can't force you to see if you won't even look..... instead attack the messengers like me and John Stossel.... not dealing with facts and argument, but instead being the very bigots you are, by personally attacking, falsely degrading, etc. people and things.

And unlike you, I actually study both sides.... I don't stick my head in the sand and "wave things away" personally attacking them, especially someone like John Stossel who is one of the last few true journalist/commentor's left from the "old guard" of when news used to be about getting all the facts, truth and sides out, not about slandering, brainwashing, etc.

Oh and by the way, I don't watch Fox..... I don't have Cable remember..... idiot.

As I've stated before, you are always the best example of the supposed evil that you whine about. You can't even contain yourself long enough to begin a new paragraph before displaying the exact same behavior that you complain about in the existing one. : )

3 Nephi 12:

[43] And behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy;

[44] But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you;

[45] That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good.

Below is a list of ldsfaqs' name calling from this thread alone. Could we get him, or at least his OPs, banned to the Telestial Kingdom?
If the below Telestial definition doesn't fit ldsfaqs I don't know what does:
"The anything-goes forum for insults, board drama, and interpersonal conflicts. No moderation. Rated R."

Unless I am missing something, the Off-Topic Forum doesn't seem to fit the criteria of ldsfaqs' nonstop non-moderated insults and drama. Or is the Telestial Kingdom reserved for Mormon insults only?

You distort and pervert.

You being stupid

you are so utterly stupid

So, who's stupid again? NOt me as usual, but you.

I demonstrate who the actual bigots, liars, etc. are.

the ignorant liars

the ignorant and bigots

you are utterly ignorant

another lie you people said

morons like you

those of us who are actual shooters, just laugh, because if it was us, we would have killed dozens more with those guns.

Can one be more mentally disturbed than this? Nope.

how truly evil you people are, how you're no different from the KKK or Fanatical Islam in your ignorance and bigotry. It's why I hate you people so much,
