Good. Between this and Twitter refusing to ban him, at least some common sense prevails.

Riiiight. A program whose goal is to deceive is equivalent to a program whose goal is to inform, even though they sometimes blunder. And moving on from CNN, we’re now supposed to infer that the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times do the same thing and should be written off too. No facts, all bias, so the truth is what we individually decide it is based on what we want it to be. Again, well done. *wink wink* Great character. Lol!
A) A swing of more than ten points in favor of the Democrats is hardly a Trump win. More “wins” like that in November and the Democrats will take back the House decisively.
B) CNN has multiple videos on their web site regarding Tuesday’s results.
lol @ people saying CNN don't lie 
The deplatforming of Alex Jones is frankly the scariest thing I've ever seen. Now, personally I think he's completely crazy and stupid, and I think many others do as well, but this is important:
Silicon Valley can cooperate to control so much of our media consumption across the entire western world, that in just 12 hours they can literally entirely erase someone from virtually every social media platform in existence.
That is completely crazy, and something has to be done about that.

You actually think CNN's goal is to inform and not to perform political spin?
These media companies are not even close to breaking even when you compare their expenditure with their income. They're all controlled by giant corporations who fund everything they do, and their politics are coloured by this. Much of the slant on the stories you read in the news is informed by the politics of those who own it, and of course none of them really talk about corporatism and the damage that it does (and it does a lot).
All these news outlets are very biased, and they have been caught wilfully lying over and over and over again. Do not even think for a second, that you are getting an accurate view of the world, if you're just watching a few of these news channels. To get an accurate picture, you need the friends in the area, the internet, lots of google-fu, and then the news can help you fill in the blanks.

I’m curious where Jones’ defenders draw the line. If I started a “Heil Hitler” podcast and argued that we should force all American Jews into concentration camps, should Apple have to include it in iTunes?
It's not a line, it's a circle that runs throughout the political spectrum. If you want to draw it under AJ, then you will also have to draw it under similar left leaning groups that incite hatred and lie - but for some reason no one wants to do that.
They want to set one bar for the things they agree with but a higher bar for things they don't. They don't seem to realise the axe has two blades that cut evenly.
If they want to ban AJ then they should also ban Antifa.
If they want to ban Fox then they should also ban CNN.
If they want to ban racism against blacks, then they should also ban racism against whites.
So on and so forth, but you'll never hear them operate like this. They simply want to silence the opposition whilst maintaining a platform for their own brand of extremism.
When we openly allow and praise the the power to suppress controversial ideas, we are all subject to censorship. Mark this in your calendar, one day we will look back and wonder when did it all go wrong or what is even true?
Don’t be naïve. They wouldn’t care because it probably wouldn’t affect them personally. They’d start caring if you started a podcast describing how you know their mothers teach little girls fellatio on dogs, and how listeners should do everything in their power to stop them, violently if necessary. Once the angry mob shows up at their doorstep, it all changes and suddenly actual truth matters.
On the other hand, maybe distortion of truth begins when we look at dispassionate field reporting and shock jock opinion shows as equals, when we sneer at education and equate observable evidence with gut instinct.
By the way, I’m happy to debate a controversial idea in good faith (affirmative action, for example, either pro or con). But if I were to go on the radio and announce that I know your father murdered my cousin and we should all stop him before he murders again, that’s not a “controversial idea.”
Being intolerant of intolerance is no vice.
Also, I would ask you if you haven't seen or heard any of Jones' videos or podcasts, please listen for yourself. (They are still available on his website).

No amount of arguing by us here will make it clear for you. You have to experience it for yourself. Then, if after that, you still don't see a problem, then that's on you.

Have you ever heard of "pizzagate"? That was Jones, too.
And if my opinion on the radio is that you’re a child pimp and should be stopped, may I still say what I want? I actually want to know if you think so.
[N.B. I’m not saying that!]
I wonder whether everyone in favour of banning AJ is also in favour of banning Islamic podcasts that also lie and preach hatred?
I wonder....
Once you define a rule, that rule must apply to all.

Do you remember the PewDiePie scandal that the WSJ caused? or the new hire at the NY Times that's a blatant racist? Can't wait to see what kind of objective articles she's going to produce! hahahahaha
Google is already going back to China and following the censorship rule. Didn’t see the Google fanboys saying anything. :shrug:
You managed to respond to two posts of mine yet failing to make any argument of substance against either point. Well done.
Someone quoted her but changed 'white' to 'black' and they were banned pretty much instantly. Same thing with 'white' to 'jewish'
It's all double standards, that's what I can't stand. I don't even agree or like AJ but what's happening to him is unbelievable!
"That has demonstrably incited violence"??? You're telling me that whatever InfoWars posted to one of their channels has caused someone to incite violence? Good thing that's not illegal then.
Oh and lol @ the "hateful nonsense" part! hahaha
Yep that was Candace Owens a black conservative who posted that. Absolutely disgusting.
[doublepost=1533814600][/doublepost]
Never said it was.
There are no comparable left-leaning groups with a media presence anything like that of InfoWars.
