It seems that the vast majority of the threads on the PT that are getting anchored are threads that are critical of Trump
troll threads or fake news threads will get anchored.

If you are concerned about Fake News, then you should appreciate us clamping down on that.

it just seems to be very one sided

should I RA every sketchy website that is linked concerning Soros or other conspiracy theories?

I'm concerned about how or why one might decide what is "fake news"

the current thread in which inspired this thread, was not actually fake news, but rather a misleading headline by the poster and he was called out for such

last Friday, several threads were anchored that had good discussion, were not troll threads, and were not fake news, they were just critical of Trump

Then you may as well shut it down.
The only reason to visit the PT is to watch the Trump-pumper trolls try to out-troll each other with fake news.
And if they can't come up with fake news, they just make it up as they go.

Highly entertaining, BTW.


ETA: Aaaand, this thread is anchored.
