Media Bias

Well I guess it's begun. Within 24 hours of the inauguration I counted 33 sources on my Facebook feed that I had never seen before, taking turns celebrating Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Kid Rock, Dana White, Rosanne Barr, Mark Zuckerberg, Ben Shapiro and 7 different Facebook accounts honoring the legendary Carrie Underwood. There were other Facebook accounts that appeared to be average posters like me who somehow broke into the main feed by dunking on Harris voters, mocking trans people, or posing next to the Gulf of America. There was also a flood of previously unseen quasi-organizations like Entrepreneur Mindset, Quotes Journal, Legacy of Bravery, News Update Pro, Hollywood Insider, The Dateright Stuff, Any Time, Guyz Running From Cops, Phone Engineering and Gadget, Born in USA, and Davidoo sharing pro-Trump, anti-woke, and anti-media memes. Several had a nearly identical boldface subhead, string of emojis, and LOL! Any self-respecting algorithm would know I wasn't in the habit of searching for or liking this content, so this is what balance and freedom is going to look like.

My wife found out she was now "following" trump on FB without clicking anything.  She unfollowed thinking she did something half asleep or on accident.  A few hours later, she was marked as "following" again.  She said she saw a post that it was happening to a lot of people at her work.

Might want to check that if you are on FB or other social media apps.

Yeah, I did the Who You Are Following check and no one had been added without my permission. This feels more like a relentless bot campaign. I blocked almost everyone I just listed and today many of the identical and near identical memes reappeared under different Facebook accounts with similar formatting. It's a complete Facebook Feed takeover --- perhaps only 25% of posts were from people I know. 

Also, an absolute torrent of these to wade through:

at their show tonight in Boston, the Dropkick Murphys spoke against Trump and Elon and it appears in retaliation Elon suspended their account, because free speech

They make great music too. Retarded move by Musk. 

Interesting move by the band. Seems a fella was holding up/waving a Trump hat during the concert and they called him out. Believe they have called Elon a Nazi in the past.

They have been speaking out against Trump at all their concerts.

I saw one where a MAGA had a tee shirt on and they asked him to prove where the tee shirt was made.  It was someplace like Nicaragua.  They gave him a Dropkick Murphy shirt for free (made in America) to replace it.

And, yes...good music.
