Just my opinion but "Mike Lindell said something stupid" doesn't need 6 seperate threads... (Original Post) brooklynite Aug 2021 OP
Agreed, whether or not there is backtracking. Maybe need some keywording tools for DU4? . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2021 #1

is when You Tube banned Rand Paul for a week and took down his video, so what do CNN and MSNBC do? You got it, play his video which gave it more publicity.

Many times in my years on DU I have searched and found nothing only to post it and find out it has already been posted.

That is a major reason I rarely post to Late Breaking News anymore. I go to the trouble to make sure all the formatting is correct only to have my post deleted later as a duplicate.

And yes many articles are posted and reposted here over and over.
Occasionally I will post a similar article that has already been posted because what I am posting has new or different material. Rather than tag it onto the original article where it may not be seen I will post it as a new OP.

But your point is correct and well deserved.
Maybe I will repost it (just kidding).

page. Some video or other people keep posting (I’ve forgotten which), and there were half a dozen clearly visible on the front page. Yet people kept posting it again and again.

In my opinion, it’s become tiresome and annoying.

You said it best. I have Trump on my trashcan list, guess I will have to add Lindell to it so I don't see the threads.
