Have you ever watched local news? They have plenty of national and even international stories.

I know that. The question is why.

The local media not covering it is partly due to laziness and partly due to bias.
Why should the local media cover a national story again?
It's cheap filler for the extra hours of local that gets aired.

Why? Because it appears the government is colluding with tech companies to limit speech on one side of the aisle and cover up news stories? That doesn’t concern you? Or doesn’t it concern you because your side benefits from this?

I'm more concerned about what the corporations are doing when they collude to abuse American citizens. Where is your expose about that? Or are you too far up the ass of Big oil to care.

See how easy it is to just answer a simple question

That has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Why do so many far lefties play “whataboutism” when they are losing an argument or refuse to admit they love a crazy position, like in your case loving the fact government may be colluding with tech companies to limit speech. You must love Venezuela, China and North Korea.

I'm guessing you aren't given much responsibility at work.

Actually I am. Again, that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Wow. Now its coming out that the FBI PAID Twitter executives for their "trouble" regarding the squashing of the laptop story. Holy shit. I would think this qualifies as news, right?

Are there really people out there that still think the laptop is fake? :lol

Is this news worthy enough now for a mention? WTF

FBI paid Twitter $3.4M for doing its dirty work on users, damning email shows

While Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi was testifying in Washington about the weaponization, censorship desires and collusion with social media giants of the Federal Government exposed in the Twitter files, an IRS agent just happened to pay a visit to his home! What a crazy coincidence!

Matt Taibbi should sue the IRS they had no right to his home, that is what I'd do if I was him.

It was clearly an intimidation tactic from a government that is not liking its nefariousness being exposed. I just find it completely odd that all of the information that has come out about the shady dealings of Big Tech and our government barely gets a peep from our media.
