And no, CNN's "journalism" is NOT being "censored" here - just direct links to their site.
Perhaps we should have one Government approved agency that aggregates and provides the articles for us so we don't need to worry about stealth-editing or paying for clicks.
Maybe they could even correct Fake News so the public doesn't fall for it.
It would be easier for Americans to do their most important duty - protecting the President - if we let Him be the sole source of approved news.
Wait what. I'm on the opposite side it seems from a lot of this sub's users on a lot of topics, especially since the election. But that's some bullshit right there. Who would want that?
People trying to pretend that the nonsense the legacy media is pushing is actually a service to the American people and not just a blatant attempt at ratings.
"Hurr durr if you don't want all these shitty cable networks telling our lies that must mean you want only a government lies platform in its place"
I got a couple other comment replies saying "it looks like you are calling for government intervention", etc. Just a heads up on something to watch out for.
I don't think so. I think it was a set up. You are welcome to go through my history and find the conversation. It was right before I made this post and shouldn't be hard to find.
That redditor capitalized "Him" as if it were a reference to the deity of a monotheistic religion. You take that seriously and you also take it as being pro-CNN? In what way would advocating that Trump be given control of CNN so they can only report his "version" of "Truth" be considered a "Pro-CNN" position?
And since it's Government Approved real news, we might as well call it what it is, Truth. And we'll call the government agency the Ministry of Truth, because isn't that what it is?
It hurts sometimes how close this is to reality, just a few decades too early

The President has a duty to the American people and the principles of our democracy. Fuck this. We don't have a single duty to protect them from criticism, it is in fact the opposite. The American people have a right to criticize their government. Any suggestion otherwise is blatantly unamerican.
Yeah it seems to me they are using the MSM as cannon folder to at last gain the kind of control over information they have been seeking for years now. The government is coming for the internet and it's only a matter of time before they try to issue government mandated digital ID's to everyone so we can be more easily tracked and censored.
lol, you already have a digital ID and you are already being tracked.
Currently mostly used for commercial purpose but no reason the gov cant link it with the national cattle registry social security database.
I mean, why would they waste resources preaching to the choir? It seems fairly obvious that shills would be paid to argue with and attempt to discredit those they feel are painting them in a bad light, not those that already champion for them.
I think it's more likely a puppet account they have been using for a while and offered up as a sacrificial lamb to increase an atmosphere of fear and self-censorship. And it blew up in their stupid faces.
This. You weirdos on this sub supporting the liberal media bashing, but protect and defend Fox News and the likes, are such hypocrites and give us a bad name. Trump is seriously showing signs of being in the establishment and I think about 80% of his supporters here jumped ship, after the Saudi arms deal.
I never thought I'd say this here, but wake the fuck up..
Jesus H Murphy, it took you long enough. I had already gotten full value out of that troll by the time you got around to removing it. Gotta work faster my dude.
How many upvotes would a story saying that democrat operatives where selling paid posts on Twitter get on this sub? Well in 5 days the story about Trump operatives doing it received 5.
How many upvotes did the story about people hunting down the children of CNN workers get on this sub? In 4 days it received 3.
A lot of people upvoted them but nearly as many downvoted them so tell me why would /r/conspiracy members who subscribe to this subs mission statement do that?
Well depending on his level of involvement with Russia, shit, he could be a rebel badass.. I'd always wondered if Russia did fuck with the election to get Trump in because they knew he would be easier to influence than Reptillary Clinton... No solid beliefs yet, just a thought.
Wait that actually seems plausible, although i think that if they really wanted to influence the election they would have been smarter to rig the primaries. They would have has a much better selection to find someone who would not be as stupid as well as being more soft towards Russia. Maybe someone like JEB, the last time the us had good relationship with Russia was when Putin and Bush JR where both in office, plus Jeb is spineless as an extra benefit.
It reminds me of the deep ocean... There's big fish swimming close to the surface that's easy to spot, but the deeper you go, there's always bigger, meaner, and uglier fish deeper down in the dark and hidden depths that you'd have to deal with.
One of those waivers was a blanket exemption provided to all Executive Office of the President appointees that appeared to cover Bannon. The exemption allows all appointees to "participate in communications and meetings with news organizations regarding broad policy matters."
The government literally gave a ethics waiver to a chief strategist to deal with his prior media company. They didn't even hide it or try to keep it on the down low.
Well, at least we know that there are some patriots here.
My theory is that the posts calling for the elimination of all of the news agencies EXCEPT the chosen ones may be made by the Russians.
If they infiltrated Twitter and Facebook then it seems pretty likely that Reddit was used as well. A conspiracy sub seems like a great place to promote controversial and anti establishment ideas.
I could have sworn that I saw a few posts down on the news. Especially CNN since they made a mistake and got caught. As I recall one post played the alphabet calling for eliminating them.
Could also be T_D. Hard to tell.
I get the idea of linking only archives. Don't send them any traffic which makes them money. Only thing is, are archives kept bleeding edge current? Posting stale news isn't exactly the same thing.
Yeah, this sub is weighing using archive links for CNN, and I would like to push to consider it for all news sites. The advantage is it's stale-ness , as that being stale and static means the site can't change or amend data after the fact.
That was that margarita guy, I think. He tried some reverse psychology deal where he accused us of defending pedophiles? He pm'd me with an apology but refused to correct his comment. What a bunch of clowns.
You're delusional; We're sick of sub being flooded by the td mongoloids and want this sub back from pre 2015 when EVERYONE already knew all political cogs were puppets, interesting and new ideas ran free, and we weren't jack hammered with the same perspective all down the front page.
With what hate? Help me out here, because I strive to be kind. Please give me instances of me being hateful so I can meditate on it and hopefully correct any negativity that I am putting out.
Anyway, welcome back. I hope you are on board to protect citizens from being thought-policed by multi-billion dollar corporations.
I meant the hate your receiving; This isn't about CNN. Why isn't fox getting hassled? They assailed the innocent similarly.
Because this post is about talking points. Fake news. A left/right dichotomy that is all there as a front. And you bought into a side. So you already lost the war for your mind.
They're all crooks. Somehow this sub forgot that and posts like this give me hope that the face-the-west-and-worship crowd that flooded in from td will eventually realize they got scammed. Just like the Obama crew and Bush nuts before them
This is a really strange assessment. Do you know me? I have, beyond a doubt, bought into a side. I bought into the side of good as opposed to evil.
If you want to talk about bipartisan politics, you've got the wrong girl. That racket is the biggest psyop that has ever happened on this planet. Count me out.
Accepted as a fraudulent distraction that allowed the plebeians some illusion of control over democracy while offering the opportunity to cheat lead and echo their beliefs much like good sport fan interaction; yes, this community had long dismissed left/right politics before summer of 2015.
All three branches of government are dominated by Republicans and yet they are still trying to find excuse for their incompetence by blaming an imaginary 'deep state'. Sad!
Meanwhile, for a year there has been a constant flood of talking points that parrot Trump and T_D.
People pointing out that if CNN gets one story out of 100 slightly wrong, that's proof all non-right wing MSM is completely fake news. But if alt-right blogs get one story out of 100 slightly correct, it's proof they are all bastions of truth.
And that's what shows me that the CNN support here the last few days can't possibly be organic. My mom and daughter still trusted CNN, but they are both furious about this stunt.
Because he's full of shit. I pointed out that this CNN implosion is likely a false flag, and that I don't come to r/conspiracy to hear about fucking bashing solely CNN. Trump is a fucking sellout and you three are the last goofballs to be pushing this stupid shit and propping him up on this sub. We're onto you. /u/RecoveringGrace, /u/EricCarver, and
Yeah, not everyone thinks like I do. I am Trump neutral and while I don't like that Trump got this CNN meme involved and now archived forever - CNN stepped on its own dick and invoked the ire of the Internet against it.
This! I visit Android Police fairly regularly from my own purposes and today they happened to post an article about the CNN app. Take a look at the comments LMFAO
and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a few hundred politically illiterate mental midgets from 4chan (along with upvote bots and russians we can assume) can convince people with poor judgement they somehow represent the opinions of actual real americans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You mean like the White House blackmailing CNN executives to change their reporting, otherwise the merger they are discussing will be blocked? Like that?
Lol, you are accusing me of fascism while agreeing with major corporations strong arming citizens for posting memes that the corporation doesn't like. You should take some Advil. Your head is going to hurt before it explodes from entertaining you parodox.
I just don't think we should normalize tactics that we wouldn't want used against us. On the one hand, the guy was a piece of shit, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with a corporation with millions of dollars in resources going after citizens for making vaguely political speech.
I know it's fun right now to watch a racist squirm, but if this continues it won't be long before FOX starts airing the dirty laundry of anyone who dares defy Trump.
I'm not much for starting a conversation. A quick check of my karma should show that.
I'm not much for starting a conversation. A quick check of my karma should show that.
And by the way, a comment is still a post. It's just a comment post. I guess you apparently didn't bother to look that one up before you made fun of me about it.
"Post: A piece of writing, image, or other item of content published online, typically on a blog or social media website."
FOX actually doxxed 2 people during the elections. One person posted court documents of someone accusing a Trump campaign manager of battery without blocking the woman's info. Lou Dobbs tweeted out the info of a woman who accused Trump of groping her on a flight some years. The first lady ended up fleeing her apartment from fear because of the death threats she received.
T_D and company is fine with Trump's election committee wanting all your info because "it's public information". But this Han guys public reddit posts are somehow sacred info.
Fox doxxed a reddit users account, violating sitewide ToS? You should document it and send it to the admins. If Fox is strong arming people here to change their ideas and expressions, we should stand together against it.
You know there is a far worse government controlled media source that should be considered untrustworthy and boycott if it already hasn't been. It is the Russian English media network known as RT which is actually funded and controlled by the Russian government.
Also incase anyone wants to respond with well BBC Is controlled by the British government there is a difference in that they still have some gernalalists integrity left.
This isn't really new, they have been doing it for a couple weeks. The imagination castle they created consists of:
Trump now embodies The Establishment® since becoming president
Conspiracy has become T_d2.0 and worships his holiness mr. trump
Ergo, /r/conspiracy is now advocating for MSM and the government.
We are now pro-establishment shills ourselves!
This is just another bullshit way they are trying to frame us as hypocritical whackjobs and discredit our community. Not only that, they know it frustrates the hell out of all of us regardless of our political alignment. That is probably the more important bit to them.
I've been here almost a decade, he's completely correct. And getting news agencies who criticize Trump banned is further proof that this sub has been taken over by those who worship Trump.
That is not why CNN was banned. And if you do not understand this simple thing then you need to go reread the sticky. I don't care how many years you have been here, you fail to understand what is going on, and the we were unanimous on that decision. This is basically unheard of for us. Because, despite everyone's best efforts to frame us as partisans, we are not.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess any misgivings I have about the "rule" is negated by allowing archived comments. And I feel it just that we consciously act to deny CNN ad revenue, not just for this incident, but their long and documented history of fabricating news outright.
But, at any rate, I'm glad to see you guys standing firm on your action and hope you continue to do so regardless of anything else that happens from this point forward. To all the MSM defenders defending their partisan rag and all the shills paid to manipulate votes and post generated comments.
The mess we are in, from all the mentally ill liberal measures, to corrupt politics and institutions, stems from capitulation. That is what must stop. No more capitulating. No more accepting bullshit. That's all the power all of these things have.
It's okay to have beliefs and it's okay to have standards. More importantly, it's more than okay to stand strong and uphold those things.
I actually want to ban all MSM, just to keep it equal. It doesn't really belong here except to be used as examples of wrongdoing.
I just wish the paid forum agents would run out of money, they incite the majority of our problems around here. It just seems like everyone is crazy, but I really don't believe that would be the case if not for all the passive aggressive provocation. But such is life, be careful out there.
Seriously. Every time I read a "what about the other fake outlets??" comment I'm like, please, *show us where they broke terms of service. This really is an even playing field. They are free game as well."
You confuse the 'government' with 'corporate power'. CNN is corporate news. The government may or may not also be controlled by the biggest corporations.
I'm merely reminding you that CNN is corporate news, not government propaganda. It's not the BBC or the CBC, it's Corporate News Network, existing only through ad revenue funding.
There was some creepy gilding going on yesterday, too. Perfect set up for the shills to start calling the gilded (myself included) shills. The gaslighting comes at you from so many levels that it's hard to keep it all straight.
You are dealing with a coordinated effort and strategy. Planning and strategy almost always defeats some lone person wandering around in the wilderness.
I saw this exact narrative posted yesterday. Blew my mind. I had no idea something that outlandish would be their chosen talking point. It has 0 chance of making a dent.
Yeah, but I can see certain news outlets finding those seeded comments to show that we are championing government run media as a way to discredit our stance.
I usually delete my posts when they hit the front. The honest users mostly hang out in new, I think. This time I think I'll leave it just to show the shills we are on to this particular tactic and need to regroup.
Man, today I have seen sooo many pro CNN comments underneath their articles it isn't even funny. The comment the most I was seeing in multiple places was saying shit like, "fact: CNN is actually the victim here, fact: Reddit user is a racist, etc." Hah!
You keep referencing, link it, your wasting more of your time saying it exist than it would take to actually link it, and as you're making the claim it's your duty to protect your assumption, not others to find and defend it for you.
The power has been shifted to deep state from the government because people have learned about the government as a source of tyranny. The shadow govt/deep state/illuminati transfer their power to hide their identity. Governments are simply the executive branch to carry out their agenda. Nevertheless, we still uncontiously use the government as a word to describe the authoritative tryanny euphemistically.
The MSM is a tool used to cause division amongst the people and to program emotional responses with fear tactics. I would advise not trusting them in any manner.
It seems more than shady to shit on CNN when 100% of Trump's favored sources are fake news. Fox news has to retract reports all the time, they dramatize and lie about nearly everything to push an agenda. Bereitbart is a racist old people magazine that flat out makes things up.
How the hell can you justify holding CNN to such a standard while ignoring the bullshit of the other news sources that are conveniently pushing conservative/rich agendas?

Are you suggesting trolls are extinct?

Removed, rule 5.

Jesus H Murphy, it took you long enough. I had already gotten full value out of that troll by the time you got around to removing it. Gotta work faster my dude.

Has been a busy few days with a huge influx of outside subs linking to us sadly.

Not at all.

Are you here all week? Because that is some funny shit right there.

Are you saying Hannity is a decent journalist?

Why do you think I'm saying that.

I'm just asking a question, feel free not to answer if you don't feel comfortable.

How many upvotes would a story saying that democrat operatives where selling paid posts on Twitter get on this sub? Well in 5 days the story about Trump operatives doing it received 5.
How many upvotes did the story about people hunting down the children of CNN workers get on this sub? In 4 days it received 3.
A lot of people upvoted them but nearly as many downvoted them so tell me why would /r/conspiracy members who subscribe to this subs mission statement do that?
n/a 12yroldwithamic 2017-07-06
Changing the subject doesn't help.
n/a ToksikCap 2017-07-06
Well depending on his level of involvement with Russia, shit, he could be a rebel badass.. I'd always wondered if Russia did fuck with the election to get Trump in because they knew he would be easier to influence than Reptillary Clinton... No solid beliefs yet, just a thought.
n/a Rokey76 2017-07-06
Russia's motives were to weaken President Clinton once she took office. However, she lost and now they don't know what the fuck to do!
n/a mastermind04 2017-07-06
Wait that actually seems plausible, although i think that if they really wanted to influence the election they would have been smarter to rig the primaries. They would have has a much better selection to find someone who would not be as stupid as well as being more soft towards Russia. Maybe someone like JEB, the last time the us had good relationship with Russia was when Putin and Bush JR where both in office, plus Jeb is spineless as an extra benefit.
n/a Rokey76 2017-07-06
Once the investigation revelations are public, I think we'll find a lot of the pro Bernie stuff to have been Russian in origin.
n/a Twins612 2017-07-06
Yes, but I suspect they are different oligarchs. Of course, from our standpoint the results are the same.

Trump is the head of but one branch of government. Majority of the "government" could probably give a fuck less who is in the presidential position.
n/a Drake02 2017-07-06
I think of this Bill Hicks bit everytime I come across the Trump's the establishment now comments.

n/a Jmerts 2017-07-06
That was funny, thank you for that
n/a Evil1tx 2017-07-06
I don't know who's down voting Bill Hicks in this sub... Bill Hicks' comedy is totally in the spirit of the conspiracy movement.
n/a Space__Stuff 2017-07-06
God bless Blill Hicks
n/a Evil1tx 2017-07-06
Amen, brother. I used to have an image as my desktop of Bill Hicks as a saint... I thought it was fitting.
n/a ILoveJuices 2017-07-06
Deepstate has control. Trump has nothing but twitter.
n/a MethylMethyl 2017-07-06
And he fucking sucks at using it effectively to garner support. After his "bleeding face" comment I just tuned him out.
n/a Flytape 2017-07-06
Trump is the president, the government is much larger than the president.
n/a Evil1tx 2017-07-06
It reminds me of the deep ocean... There's big fish swimming close to the surface that's easy to spot, but the deeper you go, there's always bigger, meaner, and uglier fish deeper down in the dark and hidden depths that you'd have to deal with.
n/a Sexy_Vampire 2017-07-06
It's almost like a Big Brother (Company) would be a small part of both government and media entities working together
n/a TheGreatOni19 2017-07-06
Normally I'd ask if that wouldn't stick out like a sore thimb, but they have convinced most on here that trump is just the greatest guy ever so.....
n/a Dorfaladin 2017-07-06
No way should government control the media any more than it already does.
The chickens are coming home to roost for CNN.
n/a ZiggyAdventures 2017-07-06
It's already too late, the government does control media.
http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-bannon-problematic-ethics-waiver-breitbart-2017-6
The government literally gave a ethics waiver to a chief strategist to deal with his prior media company. They didn't even hide it or try to keep it on the down low.
n/a Hitler_Clinton_2020 2017-07-06
And has Brietbart exposed Trump's hidden agenda? No. Because they are in on it.
n/a AlienPsychic51 2017-07-06
I've seen several posts about getting rid of CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, ect, ect, ect.
No mention of FOX or Breitbart.
Seems to me that it's a conspiracy to install Trump's favorite news sources. That's Government issued news in my opinion.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
What I've seen a lot of is comments exactly like the one you just made.
n/a AlienPsychic51 2017-07-06
Well, at least we know that there are some patriots here.
My theory is that the posts calling for the elimination of all of the news agencies EXCEPT the chosen ones may be made by the Russians.
If they infiltrated Twitter and Facebook then it seems pretty likely that Reddit was used as well. A conspiracy sub seems like a great place to promote controversial and anti establishment ideas.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Ah, when in doubt, it is muh Russians!
Who is calling for elimination of left media? I thought the sub just wanted to move to replace their links to archives. That isn't the same thing.
n/a AlienPsychic51 2017-07-06
I could have sworn that I saw a few posts down on the news. Especially CNN since they made a mistake and got caught. As I recall one post played the alphabet calling for eliminating them.
Could also be T_D. Hard to tell.
I get the idea of linking only archives. Don't send them any traffic which makes them money. Only thing is, are archives kept bleeding edge current? Posting stale news isn't exactly the same thing.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Yeah, this sub is weighing using archive links for CNN, and I would like to push to consider it for all news sites. The advantage is it's stale-ness , as that being stale and static means the site can't change or amend data after the fact.
So in this instance, stale would be positive.
n/a AlienPsychic51 2017-07-06
What good is stale news?
It's could be said that stale news really isn't news. The most interesting thing about news is that it's about current events.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Well, current as of when it was linked and archived.
n/a mikellerseviltwin 2017-07-06
and what is wrong or inaccurate about what he said though?
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Nothing. /u/RecoveringGrace just got BTFO by the comments and the only lame response he/she can come up with was that.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Was there just a shift change? What did you pack for lunch?
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Why are you a shill for the current regime?
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Do you guys get smoke breaks?
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Eh at least we're not required to fellate fox news and breitbart all day. So I feel for ya m80
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
Just because he disagrees with you doesn't make him a shill. You know that right?
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
I'm imitating his paranoid style, in case you haven't noticed.
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
Since I can't read your mind, no I didn't notice.

Yeah. I overestimated the mental capacity of some people. Sorry :/

I apologize.

Uh....no he didn't....lol
What the hell is going on here?
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
A brigade. They're pissed that I called out their spin.
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
They trigger so easily.
Good on you for calling out the bullshit.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Check out r/topmindsofreddit. We've been X-posted.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Oooh, that's where this is coming from? They are some fine motivated people there.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
And every single time they user-mention us, even when we haven't contributed.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Well, I think certain groups keep cheat sheets on who is leaned where. Some of their lists have us grouped together. Kind of funny.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Watch, next they will make a post about us pointing it out and say we are paranoid besides the fact that they actually do it, lol.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Yeah, it has happened enough that I chuckle each time.
The same list has me saying something weird about pizzagate a long time ago, and when someone mentions it, I just figure - same cheat sheet.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
That was that margarita guy, I think. He tried some reverse psychology deal where he accused us of defending pedophiles? He pm'd me with an apology but refused to correct his comment. What a bunch of clowns.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Hmm, that was nice of him. I got no apology. I just get weird randomness that I just assume is some weird effort to influence.
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
I've heard that sub is a joke. Never been there.
n/a prolix 2017-07-06
So people don't like what you say so obviously it must be a brigade eh?
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Or X-posted to tmor and brigaded. One of those things.
n/a prolix 2017-07-06
Whoooosh.
n/a quietlyaccountedfor 2017-07-06
You're delusional; We're sick of sub being flooded by the td mongoloids and want this sub back from pre 2015 when EVERYONE already knew all political cogs were puppets, interesting and new ideas ran free, and we weren't jack hammered with the same perspective all down the front page.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
"We"?? You last commented here three years ago. Lol.
n/a quietlyaccountedfor 2017-07-06
Valuable time to be back. I also called for the first mod vote here and we ousted an shifted the sub. Where the fuck did you come from?
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Nibiru
n/a quietlyaccountedfor 2017-07-06
Different accounts for different conversations buddy. It's clearly time to activate some old ones since you guys think trump invented conspiracies...
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
With what hate? Help me out here, because I strive to be kind. Please give me instances of me being hateful so I can meditate on it and hopefully correct any negativity that I am putting out.
Anyway, welcome back. I hope you are on board to protect citizens from being thought-policed by multi-billion dollar corporations.
n/a quietlyaccountedfor 2017-07-06
I meant the hate your receiving; This isn't about CNN. Why isn't fox getting hassled? They assailed the innocent similarly.
Because this post is about talking points. Fake news. A left/right dichotomy that is all there as a front. And you bought into a side. So you already lost the war for your mind.
They're all crooks. Somehow this sub forgot that and posts like this give me hope that the face-the-west-and-worship crowd that flooded in from td will eventually realize they got scammed. Just like the Obama crew and Bush nuts before them
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
This is a really strange assessment. Do you know me? I have, beyond a doubt, bought into a side. I bought into the side of good as opposed to evil.
If you want to talk about bipartisan politics, you've got the wrong girl. That racket is the biggest psyop that has ever happened on this planet. Count me out.
n/a Rengiil 2017-07-06
It’s not that it’s been flooded by T_D. But the same types who believe this conspiracy stuff are also trump supporters.
n/a quietlyaccountedfor 2017-07-06
The left/right schism was long dismissed when I showed up in 2009
n/a Rengiil 2017-07-06
Dismissed?
n/a quietlyaccountedfor 2017-07-06
Accepted as a fraudulent distraction that allowed the plebeians some illusion of control over democracy while offering the opportunity to cheat lead and echo their beliefs much like good sport fan interaction; yes, this community had long dismissed left/right politics before summer of 2015.
Now, somehow, nothing else can be discussed...
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Well he did. All the top level comments here are ones where he couldn't come close to respond to
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
Well he didn't. He responded to the second top level comment. I would've skipped the first one too because its that stupid.
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Yeah, we all know you're unable to respond to it well enough :)
Besides, 'BTFO' was used for things a lot less obvious on your favourite subreddit, so there's that
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
You're not even American. It's kinda weird you're so interested in defending a news network from another country.
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
Not responding to stupidity = being unable to respond
I'm guessing you've never heard the phrase "I'm not even going to dignify that with a response"? lol
lmao it's just so daumb.
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Is that a word?
Also:
All three branches of government are dominated by Republicans and yet they are still trying to find excuse for their incompetence by blaming an imaginary 'deep state'. Sad!
n/a TheHighestEagle 2017-07-06
Belieb whateva you want shawty...
n/a ias6661 2017-07-06
Reality has a liberal bias. I suppose that's why you couldn't muster up anything but a limp 'belieb (sic) whateva you want shawty'

😉👌🏿
n/a autopornbot 2017-07-06
Yeah, because those comments make sense.
Meanwhile, for a year there has been a constant flood of talking points that parrot Trump and T_D.
People pointing out that if CNN gets one story out of 100 slightly wrong, that's proof all non-right wing MSM is completely fake news. But if alt-right blogs get one story out of 100 slightly correct, it's proof they are all bastions of truth.
It's just so blatantly obvious.
n/a mastermind04 2017-07-06
Your a bot so you don't get an opinion. /s

Nope, just your everyday regular user!
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
It's exhausting.
n/a Adastra_plusultra 2017-07-06
I think it means we are having an effect. Just look how twitter was trending, er, until they astroturfed it or whatever.
Or go onto youtube and look at the endless comments on some of CNN vids. People fucking HATE CNN now, it's crazy.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
And that's what shows me that the CNN support here the last few days can't possibly be organic. My mom and daughter still trusted CNN, but they are both furious about this stunt.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Good gods you are getting downvoted hard core.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
I have a fan club, I think.
n/a zepheryytyy 2017-07-06
Because he's full of shit. I pointed out that this CNN implosion is likely a false flag, and that I don't come to r/conspiracy to hear about fucking bashing solely CNN. Trump is a fucking sellout and you three are the last goofballs to be pushing this stupid shit and propping him up on this sub. We're onto you. /u/RecoveringGrace, /u/EricCarver, and
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Lol.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Yeah, not everyone thinks like I do. I am Trump neutral and while I don't like that Trump got this CNN meme involved and now archived forever - CNN stepped on its own dick and invoked the ire of the Internet against it.
Have a good day.
n/a ThreeLittlePuigs 2017-07-06
Nice anecdotal evidence! I'm sure those two people speak for the majority of Americans!
n/a StrizzMatik 2017-07-06
This! I visit Android Police fairly regularly from my own purposes and today they happened to post an article about the CNN app. Take a look at the comments LMFAO
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-06
Yeah, you guys poked a karma bees nest. Who cares. Weather it out.
n/a nazispaceinvader 2017-07-06
and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a few hundred politically illiterate mental midgets from 4chan (along with upvote bots and russians we can assume) can convince people with poor judgement they somehow represent the opinions of actual real americans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
n/a ThreeLittlePuigs 2017-07-06
Was thinking the same thing. It's so textbook.
n/a StrizzMatik 2017-07-06
Yeah it is. I feel bad for the mods honestly

Imagine that in this world there are people that think differently than you. Scary isn't it!
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Nope. What's scary to me is multi-billion dollar corporations blackmailing people to change their speech. You can't be on board with that, can you?
n/a VALUABLEDISCOURSE 2017-07-06
You mean like the White House blackmailing CNN executives to change their reporting, otherwise the merger they are discussing will be blocked? Like that?
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Lol. Your edit is really disgusting. See ya around, maybe.
n/a VALUABLEDISCOURSE 2017-07-06
Because you're a fascist? Or a fascist sypathizer? As if there's any difference
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Lol, you are accusing me of fascism while agreeing with major corporations strong arming citizens for posting memes that the corporation doesn't like. You should take some Advil. Your head is going to hurt before it explodes from entertaining you parodox.
n/a zepheryytyy 2017-07-06
You're the worst...just ignore /u/RecpveringGrace
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Wow. Abrasive.
n/a zepheryytyy 2017-07-06
Hey nice edit lol...
Original comment: lol
Revised edit to make me look bad for calling you out: wow. Abrasive.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
I think you are losing track of your comments. The "lol" comment is still there but was a reply to another comment you made.
n/a healthierem 2017-07-06
Lol you are getting destroyed in your own thread 😂
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Destroyed by downvotes? Yeah, I'm trembling. But thanks for helping to make my point.
n/a Hes_A_Fast_Cat 2017-07-06
Lmaooooo, all you can do is say "you're a shill" instead of engaging in conversations... Wonder who the real shill is here typing from a script.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Umm, when have I called someone a shill? Good try, though.
n/a teh_hasay 2017-07-06
Explicitly? Here, and less specifically you've implied that anyone who disagrees with you is part of a co-ordinated astroturfing effort.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Lol, I asked a guy that called me a shill if they get smoke breaks. Do you not see that that was ironic humour?
And my post was pointing out a shill tactic. Do you deny that there are shills?
n/a teh_hasay 2017-07-06
No, check the full context bud. You called him a shill first.
n/a SansDefaultSubs 2017-07-06
Wow, you had me until then. If you're advocating fascist tactics, why should I support your brand of fascism over the shitbrained OP's.
n/a VALUABLEDISCOURSE 2017-07-06
I never have advocated for fascist tactics.
You think we should not do everything in our power as a society to stop an ideology based on violence toward innocents?
n/a SansDefaultSubs 2017-07-06
I just don't think we should normalize tactics that we wouldn't want used against us. On the one hand, the guy was a piece of shit, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with a corporation with millions of dollars in resources going after citizens for making vaguely political speech.
I know it's fun right now to watch a racist squirm, but if this continues it won't be long before FOX starts airing the dirty laundry of anyone who dares defy Trump.
n/a Rabid_Mongoose 2017-07-06
How would you feel if they just posted his name? It's a dick move on CNN'S part for sure, but that did that Han guy a favor in my opinion.
n/a SpongeBobSquarePants 2017-07-06
So when are you going to condemn the Trump empire, a multi-billion dollar collection of companies, from going after and lying about the news media?
n/a MyFartingAss 2017-07-06
So, are you going to address what he said about Fox news and Breitbart somehow being above critisism? What are your thoughts on those outlets?
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Sure. If they threaten to publicly doxx a reddit user, put them on archive-only.
n/a MyFartingAss 2017-07-06
That's a "no", then. Got it.
n/a WeRtheBork 2017-07-06
That would be because it's a general consensus. You'd get a lot of people telling you the sky is blue if you post stuff about red sky censorship.
n/a mastermind04 2017-07-06
What about RT, a media network controlled and operated by the Russian government ment specifically to spew out Russian propaganda.
BBC is diffrent though, they still have some integrity and they are ment to inform rather than created to make and spread propaganda.

Sure I have. I've made several comments JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU JUST REPLIED TO.
That's a trick worthy of Donald Trump himself...
n/a EagleOfAmerica 2017-07-06
Ahh, you don't know what the word "post" means, and you're just trying to slide the discussion and make everyone argue about left vs. right.
See, if you actually wanted to contribute you'd take the time to look something up and post (P-O-S-T, different from C-O-M-M-E-N-T).
n/a AlienPsychic51 2017-07-06
I'm not much for starting a conversation. A quick check of my karma should show that.
I'm not much for starting a conversation. A quick check of my karma should show that.
And by the way, a comment is still a post. It's just a comment post. I guess you apparently didn't bother to look that one up before you made fun of me about it.
"Post: A piece of writing, image, or other item of content published online, typically on a blog or social media website."
Looks like I got under your skin.
I guess I must be on the right track...
n/a squeezebones 2017-07-06
FOX actually doxxed 2 people during the elections. One person posted court documents of someone accusing a Trump campaign manager of battery without blocking the woman's info. Lou Dobbs tweeted out the info of a woman who accused Trump of groping her on a flight some years. The first lady ended up fleeing her apartment from fear because of the death threats she received.
T_D and company is fine with Trump's election committee wanting all your info because "it's public information". But this Han guys public reddit posts are somehow sacred info.

Fox doxxed a reddit users account, violating sitewide ToS? You should document it and send it to the admins. If Fox is strong arming people here to change their ideas and expressions, we should stand together against it.

unless all of FOX, a corporate entity representing FOX NEWS itself has a reddit account, fox cannot be held to reddit's TOS.
you are only held to reddit's TOS is you create an account. that's how you agree to a TOS.
n/a verello 2017-07-06
ToS isn't a law nor is it enforced in the way that you think it is.

Yeah. It kinda makes this post ironic huh?
n/a mastermind04 2017-07-06
You know there is a far worse government controlled media source that should be considered untrustworthy and boycott if it already hasn't been. It is the Russian English media network known as RT which is actually funded and controlled by the Russian government.
Also incase anyone wants to respond with well BBC Is controlled by the British government there is a difference in that they still have some gernalalists integrity left.
n/a mastigia 2017-07-06
This isn't really new, they have been doing it for a couple weeks. The imagination castle they created consists of:
Trump now embodies The Establishment® since becoming president
Conspiracy has become T_d2.0 and worships his holiness mr. trump
Ergo, /r/conspiracy is now advocating for MSM and the government.
We are now pro-establishment shills ourselves!
This is just another bullshit way they are trying to frame us as hypocritical whackjobs and discredit our community. Not only that, they know it frustrates the hell out of all of us regardless of our political alignment. That is probably the more important bit to them.
n/a autopornbot 2017-07-06
As someone who was a regular participant in this sub for the past 7 years or so, those points are all true.
This sub went from a conspiracy sub to just parroting T_D and Trump, starting about a year ago.
n/a mastigia 2017-07-06
Yeah dude...Sure it did.
n/a JoeChristma 2017-07-06
100% true.
n/a darkgatherer 2017-07-06
I've been here almost a decade, he's completely correct. And getting news agencies who criticize Trump banned is further proof that this sub has been taken over by those who worship Trump.
n/a mastigia 2017-07-06
That is not why CNN was banned. And if you do not understand this simple thing then you need to go reread the sticky. I don't care how many years you have been here, you fail to understand what is going on, and the we were unanimous on that decision. This is basically unheard of for us. Because, despite everyone's best efforts to frame us as partisans, we are not.
n/a Smoothtank 2017-07-06
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess any misgivings I have about the "rule" is negated by allowing archived comments. And I feel it just that we consciously act to deny CNN ad revenue, not just for this incident, but their long and documented history of fabricating news outright.
But, at any rate, I'm glad to see you guys standing firm on your action and hope you continue to do so regardless of anything else that happens from this point forward. To all the MSM defenders defending their partisan rag and all the shills paid to manipulate votes and post generated comments.
The mess we are in, from all the mentally ill liberal measures, to corrupt politics and institutions, stems from capitulation. That is what must stop. No more capitulating. No more accepting bullshit. That's all the power all of these things have.
It's okay to have beliefs and it's okay to have standards. More importantly, it's more than okay to stand strong and uphold those things.
n/a mastigia 2017-07-06
I actually want to ban all MSM, just to keep it equal. It doesn't really belong here except to be used as examples of wrongdoing.
I just wish the paid forum agents would run out of money, they incite the majority of our problems around here. It just seems like everyone is crazy, but I really don't believe that would be the case if not for all the passive aggressive provocation. But such is life, be careful out there.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06

You confuse the 'government' with 'corporate power'. CNN is corporate news. The government may or may not also be controlled by the biggest corporations.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Wait, how am I confused? I'm pointing out a shill tactic, not expressing an opinion on news agencies.
n/a LowFructose 2017-07-06

n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
"How can you use a CNN article as a source when this sub says it's always fake news???"
n/a sweetholymosiah 2017-07-06
I'm merely reminding you that CNN is corporate news, not government propaganda. It's not the BBC or the CBC, it's Corporate News Network, existing only through ad revenue funding.
n/a Adastra_plusultra 2017-07-06
It's so obvious. Although it seems they have laid off upvoting comments to ridiculous numbers.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
There was some creepy gilding going on yesterday, too. Perfect set up for the shills to start calling the gilded (myself included) shills. The gaslighting comes at you from so many levels that it's hard to keep it all straight.
n/a Mike_McDermott 2017-07-06
You are dealing with a coordinated effort and strategy. Planning and strategy almost always defeats some lone person wandering around in the wilderness.

We have a pretty strong team, here. We'll persevere.
n/a Mike_McDermott 2017-07-06
We are not coordinated. We do not have a multi-million dollar funding and the blessing of the reddit admin to break the rules.
We are goat herders fighting the US military (both figuratively and literally...hello Elgin AFB!).

Jesus. Look at his comment history. He's illustrating my point. We should thank him.
n/a ABrilliantDisaster 2017-07-06
They should have consulted with the Shareblue shills first. They could have offered some pointers on what it's like to try to troll r/conspiracy.
n/a ABrilliantDisaster 2017-07-06
I saw this exact narrative posted yesterday. Blew my mind. I had no idea something that outlandish would be their chosen talking point. It has 0 chance of making a dent.
n/a RecoveringGrace 2017-07-06
Yeah, but I can see certain news outlets finding those seeded comments to show that we are championing government run media as a way to discredit our stance.
n/a ABrilliantDisaster 2017-07-06
True, i was thinking mainly of real r/conspiracy users actually beginning to believe that was true. Can't see it.

I usually delete my posts when they hit the front. The honest users mostly hang out in new, I think. This time I think I'll leave it just to show the shills we are on to this particular tactic and need to regroup.
n/a Meg-A-Lo-Maniac 2017-07-06
Man, today I have seen sooo many pro CNN comments underneath their articles it isn't even funny. The comment the most I was seeing in multiple places was saying shit like, "fact: CNN is actually the victim here, fact: Reddit user is a racist, etc." Hah!

Yep, I have for sure seen this tactic frequently used.

They are so desperate, always telling people what to think, spinning everything
n/a Ikuyasu 2017-07-06
The power has been shifted to deep state from the government because people have learned about the government as a source of tyranny. The shadow govt/deep state/illuminati transfer their power to hide their identity. Governments are simply the executive branch to carry out their agenda. Nevertheless, we still uncontiously use the government as a word to describe the authoritative tryanny euphemistically.
n/a Evil1tx 2017-07-06
The MSM is a tool used to cause division amongst the people and to program emotional responses with fear tactics. I would advise not trusting them in any manner.

n/a WeRtheBork 2017-07-06
It seems more than shady to shit on CNN when 100% of Trump's favored sources are fake news. Fox news has to retract reports all the time, they dramatize and lie about nearly everything to push an agenda. Bereitbart is a racist old people magazine that flat out makes things up.
How the hell can you justify holding CNN to such a standard while ignoring the bullshit of the other news sources that are conveniently pushing conservative/rich agendas?
