"Thanks for bringing that up. We're going to look into it. We're human and we make mistakes from time to time. Thanks for letting us know about it. We'll definitely look into our policies and practices to see where we can improve."

What matters is that O'Keefe is a certified liar and doctors these videos and people like you don't even care.

That makes you stupid.

Why would you hold O'Keefe to a standard that we don't hold network news, 60 minutes, or cable news?

If Israel is ever destabilized


Then the following will be true (Revelation 19:11-21 KJV):

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Certified liar, huh? You have that paperwork to prove it? If you want to see someone stupid, go look in the mirror. Jesus, another damn lemming that drinks the Kool-Aid

Doesn't fit his weak narrative, that's why.

Good thing the trustworthy mainstream media posts full videos and not air selectively edited clips that would support their agenda.

Just what exactly is that standard?

You legitimately think that Twitter applies their policies equally to both conservative and liberal opinions?

Oh Tex. You see...when everyone calls you dumb, it isn’t because you are misunderstood. You don’t grasp simple concepts.

Go back to r/politics for some new talking points, your assertions have been firmly refuted.

Nope.

The big social sites have predominantly left-leaning employees. That's no secret.

Do you think right-leaning websites apply their policies equally to both conservative and liberal opinions?

What social media platforms with the power of Twitter and Facebook are controlled by conservatives?

The problem isn't whether MSNBC or Fox is biased. The problem is when news outlets pretend to be unbiased while injecting their politics into the story to sway viewers.

It's even more of a problem when it is a platform doing it that has more power than any newsroom while at the same time pretending to be unbiased.

Some enterprising person needs to come up with an alternative to Twitter that is unbiased. It's not the government's job to police Google and Twitter to ensure they are fair to all political views.

Of course none that big. My my answer was kinda of "what do you expect"?

Eta: But applying the rules differently is different than targeting. They should try to control that.

Wasn't O'Keefe sued recently over the selling baby parts video and the judge/jury found that he while he edited his videos for brevity, they found that he didn't alter the video in order to mislead the viewers as to the intentions of the people in the video.

In other words, if you have hours and hours of video, the vast majority of it stays on the cutting room floor. He included the most dramatic statements, for sure, but he didn't take it out of context.
