Ah, this wiki page: Alternative media (U.S. political right) - Wikipedia

So the ENTIRE conservative media is a few dozen, half of which are obscure/unrecognizable. NOT HUNDREDS. Got it.

Note to self: OOfff always exaggerates tenfold.

fact-check guys it's only four young healthy pilots that died from the vaccine. nothing to worry about

I wonder what the frequency of death among healthy BA pilots, 30s to 50s, was before the vax? Not to mention how many died from Covid itself before the vax.

Every parent media company, left or right, does the same thing. before I went media dark I started watching News Nation, it’s very neutral considering its parent is WGN. I appreciated the “just the facts” approach.

I'm not going to try and change your mind, because that would be a waste of time, but I just wanted to share these two articles for some context over who and what is/was being censored. I don't know if you consider man-made virus theories and vaccine hesitancy to be "conservative ideologies", but it is what it is.

1. Last year Facebook actively removed posts that suggested COVID was a man-made virus, and has since quietly pulled a complete 180 after the Fauci email leak.

2. Two whistleblowers leaked info that Facebook will be limiting (i.e. censoring) posts which their algorithm determines to contain vaccine hesitancy. FB has publicly acknowledged this.

Also I’ll definitely check news nation out, thanks!

It’s weird to me that people claim conservative voices don’t have an outlet but you hear conservative voices complaining all the time

I definitely don't want to try and defend Facebook and exactly what they are allowing and not allowing. That's a losing battle no matter what.

My point is only this: Facebooks most shared and read content is consistently conservative in nature. It is actually dominated by conservative voices.

Social media companies will forever be in an impossible position to try and figure out what to allow and where to draw the line. Im sure glad that's not my job.
