CNN’s Don Lemon was completely incapable of airing truth and facts on his own program; but during Tuesday’s handoff with Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo, he was demanding that social media companies like Facebook regulate peoples’ opinions because they might not “based in fact” according to him. He also wanted them to regulate what’s “true” and to show him where his critics lived. Meanwhile, Cuomo was calling for social media to upend a cornerstone of the internet and out their users.
After going at Facebook over their internal research showing how their service can be harmful to teens and questioning how their algorithm works (plus, once again suggesting Fox News didn’t report the truth ), Cuomo decried how Lemon was using the word “regulation” because it would “trigger” people to be resistant.
“ This isn’t about restricting your rights. It’s about making sure that people do what they do right ,” he proclaimed. Lemon wasn’t comfortable with that notion and suggested that “ What is put on your platform, at the very least, should be true. Let’s start there. ”

Last fall, for instance, Twitter aggressively tried to censor reporting and conversations regarding the Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal just as the liberal media falsely claimed it was “Russian disinformation.” Meanwhile, the story was 100 percent true and was confirmed by Politico just […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
