In other words, they give themselves license to post or support, at their sole discretion, any lie, no matter how egregious, that serves their agenda, and suppress and censor any truth, no matter how incontrovertible, that inconveniences them in any way.
Yes.
Like the folks who seek to advertise in their business name that they’re ‘Patriots’ or Christians, chances are strong that the name for Trump’s new enterprise will have no bearing on the actual content or conduct.

Yeah, kind of like CNN does now. Radical Muslim terrorists manage to post on Facebook without embarrassing Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar. BLM doesn't seem to embarrass Corey Bush. It works fine for Twitter and CNN.

About all you know about Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar and BLM, or are willing to hear, is the malicious, deliberate misinformation about them broadcasted by demonstrably, and sometimes self admittedly dishonest media like FOX news and Breitbart. I'm not going to claim that CNN is perfect, but I think they generally get things right, and when they don't, they are more amenable to retracting and apologizing for mistaken reporting than most conservative media are. Don't forget that FOX news won a defamation lawsuit by admitting that no reasonable person would take them seriously. I still don't understand how any court would let them off the hook because of that self owning admission, or why they still have so many devoted fans despite FOX's implication that it is unreasonable for their own fans to take them seriously.
