Conservatives have accused social media platforms of everything from shadow banning them to restricting free speech. Former Facebook employees admitted in 2016 to restricting news stories of interest to conservative readers from its "trending" section, and Big Tech employees have overwhelmingly favored Democrats in their political donations.

Of course this 'study' did not actually study the numbers, because the subject keeps them secret.


 
Study no one has ever heard of discounts something no one ever said.

This is funny.  Fox News reporting that tech companies are shielding news reports from Conservatives.  In reality, those reports were false and made up crap.

Gee....one side is living in la la land and spreading around fake news and the platform didn't allow it.  Oh my.....that's just horrible.

Conservatives accuse social media of this stuff to hide what's really happening. 

In fact, Facebook amplifies conservative news and stifles the left.

I'll listen if you can show me where Zuckerberg marked AOC for spreading fake news.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being dubbed “Alexandria Ocasio-Smollett” as details emerge that she exaggerated the extent of her “trauma” from the Capitol riot, given that she was not at the site of the siege, but in an office building nearby.

In the four weeks since the riot, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has said repeatedly that she feared for her life on Jan. 6, as a result of a “very close encounter.”

One of the actually interesting thing about the trumpists is who they're afraid of. The energy spent on attempting to discredit Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not commensurate with her standing or status, either in the House or even in her own party.

And yet, Brown Woman Scary so here we are.

At least it's always easy to debunk the wingnut stuff.


Ocasio-Cortez didn’t lie about location during Capitol riot




But Ocasio-Cortez never claimed she was in the main domed Capitol building during the melee. In fact, in her video explaining her experience of the insurrection, she made a point to clarify that she was in her congressional office in a different building nearby.

“For you all to know, there’s the Capitol Hill complex,” she told her Instagram followers. “But members of Congress, except for, you know, the speaker and other very, very high ranking ones, don’t actually work in a building with the dome. There’s buildings like right next to the dome, and that’s where our actual offices are.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s office is across the street from the main Capitol building, in the Cannon building, which AP reporters on the scene confirmed was evacuated during the riots.

The Cannon building is also connected to the Capitol building by a series of tunnels, which allow members of Congress to travel between buildings underground.

Those tunnels were mentioned in some earlier communications between militia members charged in the insurrection, suggesting rioters planned to use them to attack members of Congress.

Ocasio-Cortez also never claimed she encountered rioters personally, despite false posts claiming she did.

In her hour-and-a-half long video, she talked about the rising tension and sense of danger she felt in the days leading up to the attack, as protesters gathered around the Capitol and she began receiving warnings that violence was expected on Jan. 6.

Ocasio-Cortez then went on to describe the events of the afternoon itself. She said she was in her office when she heard repeated bangs on the door, like someone was trying to get in. Her legislative director told her to hide, and she went into the bathroom. She then heard a male voice yelling, “Where is she?”

She came out after her legislative director told her to, and a Capitol police officer was in the office. He didn’t announce himself, and he appeared angry. She said the officer told them to go to another building, but didn’t say specifically where or escort them, leaving her feeling unsafe.

Ocasio-Cortez then described evacuating to a different building, where she took shelter in a colleague’s office. She said as she traveled there, she could hear rioters “yelling and screaming” outside as they tried to break into that building.

Some of the viral posts accusing Ocasio-Cortez of lying referred to a now-corrected Newsweek article that originally included the false claim that she spoke of rioters breaking into her office.

“A previous version of this story stated that Ocasio-Cortez’s office was entered by rioters,” reads Newsweek’s correction on the story. “Ocasio-Cortez’s office was actually entered by a Capitol police officer that did not identify himself. Newsweek regrets the error.”
Total time spent debunking this right-wingo nonsense - about 37 seconds.
