how does Media Matters try to suppress free speech??

well MM attacks speech they don't like and tries to silence opposing views

now you can say they're private and not the government and i get it, but they want censorship over the free flow of information. it's just easier/more efficient to say they want to suppress free speech

the fact that JL got fired for this is amazing to me. progs have been calling everything under the sun "Nazis" or "fascist" for 10+ months and JL does it back and he gets fired? the frick?

ok

that's the same thing that happens here. Do you think the TD.com poli board tries to suppress free speech?

pointing out right wing media lies is not "promoting censorship"

But for a communication tool like Twitter, people don't catch things like sarcasm, hyperbole, etc. very well.

And in this case, since the article posted provided the context to make his response more understandable, the title of the article said MMF (mocking media matters), so I had no idea what it was referring to until I read the article.

But his response was front and center before and after I read the article, so knowing a not of people probably don't read an article to get context, or wouldn't understand his response even with the context, it was ridiculously stupid in his part.

Ironically he was too stupid to know that people are too stupid to not realize he's actually supporting the Nazis.
