So i had to look at the origin of this quote because i don't think like a cultist, creating a narrative to fit stupidity. But this is not what the Woman who crafted this quote said, she said " "Even a Stopped clock is right twice a day", Emphasis on Stopped not broken.
Well you are honest about broken, at least you know your head is also broken too cheesy

She is a contributor not an anchor, so just a sole contributor means she the whole news channel is leaning left?

Rick Santorum was a contributor in CNN

does that make CNN lean right?

That guy is a nutcase
Six states have visited the arizona audit and are duly impressed with the professionalism, integrity and security of the process.More expected to visit. Georgia might start theirs in early July. Arizona is now concentrating on ballot forensics ie bamboo, no folds, different printers plus corresponding envelope verifications too

Rep. Mark Finchem: “Update from
Arizona: The states that have visited so
far are PA, VA, GA, AK, CO. More
individuals from GA will be in tomorrow
and other states later in the week.

We shall see who is a crazy, stupid and raving lunatic once the audits are made public.
In the assylum the mentally challenged think sane people are mad.

Shut up

None of Rupert Murdoch's organization leans left

They are all moderately right / fully right.

The fact that fox sometimes don't subscribe to your luncancy doesn't mean they leaning left.

as I said facts have a liberal bias.
Donna Brazille the former DNC chair is also leans right? You remember her, she left DNC after she was found to gave gifted Hillary in advance the questions in the Presidential debate?
She leans right?

Every news is left-leaning.

Let me just burst your bubble, fox news is not left-leaning
Semantics, Fox has always been center right for a long time. Some presenters today lean slightly to the left. Most of Fox viewers are right leaning and viewership of say Chris Wallace is hemorrhaging.

Im not sure whether its a board decision to bring in left leaning hosts.

Lol, or you just hate the truth and subscribe to nonsense that would fancy your ego

I mean trump once called fox fake news also

does that mean they are leftist? Or it just means anything that doesn't kiss y'all disgusting ass is termed lefties
Fox is leaning left though they have a few popular rightist presenters like Hannity, Bartiromo or Tucker Carlson.
Trump called Fox faux news because they declared Biden had taken Arizona when voting was not over

And yes Rachel Maddow was sued, she claimed her show is not a news show but an opinion.
Get that , its not about news but opinion shows where the host can express the commie narrative. She won against the defamation suit.

Rachel Maddow and MSNBC parent
company Comcast are pushing for
the end to a defamation lawsuit
brought by Herring Networks, the
owner of One America News
Network (OAN). In court papers filed
Monday, the liberal TV host argued
that her assessment of OAN as “paid
Russian propaganda” qualifies as
opinion and thus isn’t actionable.

the way you people have partial amnesia makes me laugh

or some of you just started reading about US politics in 2017

Go much further, start from the Clinton Administration

Republicans dragged him so tey, nothing came out they had to impeach him for having a consensual Mouth Action

go to the Obama administration, from the rise of the tea party to various other many many talks

and the same trump you are talking about went on a barrage of the birther conspiracy

what did you have to say about it then

I bet it looked decent to you

it's politics, suck it in

If you can't play it don't involve yourself.

Trump involved himself and whatever he got is his cup of tea
Those were the days you could turn on a the TV and watch the latest news.Journos investigated a story no matter who it was about and reported what they found factually but with a tinge of slant depending on the publication.
Nowadays after Obama won, journalism went to the dogs and most media became left wing pieces to parrot out what the leftie commies wants people to hear.
When it came to Trump leftie media became the official dnc mouthpiece. Plus the other groups I mentioned ie big tech, IC , DoJ.

There is no difference listening to Pelosi or Rachel Maddow for instance. All full of BS.

How did Twitter overreach by deleting a tweet they say breaches their terms and conditions?

What has Google got to do with Twitter for crying out loud?
Big tech overeach.

Unelected bureaucrats flexing muscles . Threatening heads of states.
What can they plus their enablers the media do to you, your career, personal life a normal person by all means.

Is the issue about whether Buhari was banned or the overreach of twitter.
Twitter and FB And Google need big kick in the ass. They are protected because they donate to leftist causes.



As the interactive charts
accompanying this article show,
Google representatives attended
White House meetings more than
once a week, on average, from the
beginning of Obama’s presidency

people have shuttled from

Thanks. There is no president whom his own party, leftist media, congress, lefties,social media bigwigs, DoJ, Intelligence agencies have embarked on a widespread scale to remove him by any method whether its lying about him, framing charges etc as Trump. And that was day one.
Conversely Obama never got negative hits from the same groups .He was as white as snow to them till today.
To get rid of Trump these groups were overjoyed by covid-19 which has killed 3.5m so far.

Clearly twitter used a BS reason.They including Facebook were looking to silence not to protect anyone.

Khamenei still has not been banned despite his Death to Israel and America tweets or chants repeated every Friday at least.

Trump was banned for repeatedly violating the rukes, just as Khomeini would be if he repeatedly offends.

Note that Buhari was not banned for his one offence and only his offending post was deleted, as were many of drumptf before he got banned on twitter, facebook, instagram, youtube, redditt, etc, and even on his own now defunct website.
Exactly what rule
Specify a tweet that broke a rule, then we compare it to Ayatollah Khomeini weekly Death to Israel and America crusades.

https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html.

Challenging what twitter narrative is leads to a ban.

Violent threats policy
Overview

March 2019

You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence.

Healthy conversation is only possible when people feel safe from abuse and don’t resort to using violent language. For this reason, we have a policy against threatening violence on Twitter. We define violent threats as statements of an intent to kill or inflict serious physical harm on a specific person or group of people.
What is in violation of this policy?

Under this policy, you can’t state an intention to inflict violence on a specific person or group of people. We define intent to include statements like “I will”, “I’m going to”, or “I plan to”, as well as conditional statements like “If you do X, I will”. Violations of this policy include, but are not limited to:

threatening to kill someone;
threatening to sexually assault someone;
threatening to seriously hurt someone and/or commit a other violent act that could lead to someone’s death or serious physical injury; and
asking for or offering a financial reward in exchange for inflicting violence on a specific person or group of people.

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/violent-threats-glorification
You can sau death tp the Jews and America
twitter does not censor you.

Say HCL or other drugs like Ivermectin works for covid and twitter suppresses you or outright bans you.
Say covid-19 was lab engineered and twitter would ban you.
Twitter is pushing a narrative. They will censor anyone going against their narrative.

Because ALL the people that had work for Trump always end up worse than before they started working for him. All his previous lawyers are either in jail or about to be prosecuted for crimes. His accountants and close aids are about to be prosecuted for crimes. Even his children that works for him are facing criminal charges. Most that that escape criminal charges can only get work at Foxnews after working for him.

Is that the person you want me to work for? Not for all the dollars in the world

Who can forget Ruby, Ralph, and Ruby’s daughter Wandrea Shaye?

After removing everyone from the State Farm Arena on 2020 Election night and sending them home, these three individuals and a couple of others pulled out ballots hidden under the table and began jamming them into the vote tabulation machines. The election workers were filmed shoving stacks of ballots through the machines two and three times each.
