Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Remember when Americans used to argue AGAINST private corporations determining "the truth"? I'm only in my early thirties, and its crazy to me how people I knew during the Bush Jr years have gone from "I can say whatever I want!" to "they aren't allowed to say that! Someone stop them!", all within a decade or so.

Honestly, no. I can't recall a specific example of that having occurred in the past.

I do remember when Americans used to argue against government entities restricting speech and expression.

What is a ****-mook?

Also, presupposing that he's referencing the President, I'm not aware that Trump's ethnic background includes any direct Italian heritage, as one would infer from the slurs used. (Guinea, Dago, WOP.) The President's father was German, and his mother Scottish.

None of that tweet makes sense.

The tweet was directed to Pete D'Abrosca, a nobody Italian heritage candidate for something in NC. He recently spoke on TV and stated that he believes there should be no population increase due to legal immigration -- i.e., if 200,000 a year go out, then only 200,000 a year should come in, legally.

Eric Vitale, an NBC employee who claims to:
  • Research and retrieve ​media assets for TODAY, MSNBC, Nightly News, Meet the Press producers for day-of-air segments under tight deadlines,

  • Assist NBC News Specials producers during breaking news projects, and

  • Fact-check and research stories and events for associate producers,

tweeted to Pete in response to how he feels about Pete's position. Eric is not biased or racist, Eric is a democrat, he cannot be biased, incorrect, or racist.

Dang, I sure was wrong cause I read thru Eric's rant and first thought of Kanye West.
The knuckle dragger reference threw me off.

As an aside, I agree with Pete D'Abrosca and his keep the population level idea.

Why do the mainstream media keep fixating on facts, truth, and reality?
