I am looking forward to the social media companies side of the investigation.
However, I think at the end of the day, given current law, they can simply say our job is take make money and those were our decisions. May not like em, but our business call. Of course the complete irony is that the legislators and the social media companies will all make money on the investigation.
News + Controvery = Clicks = Advert dollars
That's all you really need to understand and then much of our modern discourse/social media all makes sense (left and right).
Truth, accuracy, facts, considered and qualified opinion...meh. Doesn't make as much money.
The problem with the social media side of things is that there’s evidence that the government was telling them what to do on this and other topics. So it’s not as simple as private companies / private decisions.Kbg wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 5:32 pm I don't think they will find anything new on the FBI as that dog has been run.

Do you think there'd be a sizable chunk of people voting third-party in that situation?joypog wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 8:59 pm Hey, if there's nothing there, then cool...and if it pushes Biden stage left (assuming he's not shameless like his predecessor) that's fine too.
Since we can nothing nice in this world, the likely endgame is two discredited presidents vying for a second term in 2024.
I think the prisoners dilemma is too strong.

We shall see. I’m all for a review…but Congress is political theater not a court of law.flyingpylon wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 7:17 pmThe problem with the social media side of things is that there’s evidence that the government was telling them what to do on this and other topics.

Yes, the Justice Dept and FBI should be investigating it. But, you know....Kbg wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 7:47 amWe shall see.

Yes, I do. Had a Trump/Barr appointed Special Prosecutor look into that...and what happened when the two cases he brought went to court? 0/2 IIRC. And the two senior FBI agents involved...fired. But, you know...doesn't fit the preferred narrative. Actual lies are a Trump/MAGA specialty. Here's to hoping the adults take back over the Republican Party.I Shrugged wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 1:16 pmYes, the Justice Dept and FBI should be investigating it.

Yeah, on the flip side that’s why the investigation on Trump has been in my ignore box. I do still believe in jurors though. So I don’t pay much attention until a verdict is announced.flyingpylon wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 7:18 amYes. Congress is political theater, but let’s put our faith in an investigation conducted by… Congress.
