Meanwhile, NYT and its readers are not too happy the editor decided to play down this story.

Those dang sexists at the NYT, always showing deference to the President.

As long as someone is willing to say something bad about Trump, they couldn't careless about any thing else.

Here is a crazy of your own kind. Without a doubt the dumbest senator TN has ever elected. Plus, the Rachel hairdo went out 20 years ago....

Why do you ladies get all bent out of shape over someone else's doo?

 

[BigOrangeD]

Yep, she is nuts. No doubt.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Hey, leave the bikini wax out of this!!! Ima go get my club.

 

[Bigun]

Never heard of this lunatic until now. Who is she and why is she writing a book?

Almost like Obama writing his memoirs in his late 20's

I don't know what to laugh at more, this lady, or the fact that CNN would give such a lunatic airtime.

CNN scraping the bottom of the barrel as usual trying to get that dirt on Trump.

Aren’t you literally complaining in another thread that access to information is being manipulated by large corporations to control how we think.

Now you’re saying that CNN should hide someone who accuses the president of rape because she’ll look crazy on TV?

Make up your mind.

Good grief these interviews remind me of the left's love affair with Michael Avanatti (sp?) before he erupted in flames.

I'm a gent. In 2003, my wife said Marsha's hairdo had passed its expiration date.

Your complaint seems to rule out credibility.

It's far better to not broadcast an incredible person or topic instead holding back on people or topics that are credible.

Do you see the distinction now?

Your distinction is off the mark and any differences in scale or platform/publisher distinctions don’t resolve his inconsistency.

There are two content based components to this “techno fascism” gripe:

1. The platforms are making editorial decisions regarding what the user should and should not be allowed access.

Here, CNN did not attempt to make an editorial decision that this woman was not credible and limit coverage. Instead they allowed their viewers to decide. The absence of editorial judgment is what he was advocating in the other thread. Complaining about it here was inconsistent.

2. The platform hosts are pushing an agenda that is contrary to Trump by only allowing access to or giving preference to information that is damming to Trump.

This story was already out there. A number of outlets had already published it. It’s not like CNN scooped it. Some editorials were already calling her accusation “credible.” This interview killed the story, effectively, by providing information that didn’t fit the narrative.

I guess it’s less inconsistent to complain when your theories don’t come true, but when your theory is that your world view is being suppressed and persecuted on a daily basis by powerful people who hold the keys to information, seems... inconsistent.

Your proposed distinction is off base because the “techno fascists” have not restricted access to credible sources of information in favor of incredible sources, either. They have deplatformed conspiracy theorists that have no credibility, and people who use “hate speech” to incite violence. They’re exercising the same editorial judgment that you’re saying is appropriate, here.
