Calling all legitimate news organizations!!!!

If and when the new Twitter decides to let back on the orange buffoon and his legions of moronic lying conspiracy theorists, please do not pay them any attention. Do not, report, retweet, or give credence to any of these idiots. If that can be done, the new twitter will have less of an impact on the destruction of our democracy. Of course, I don't expect illegitimate organizations that pretend to be news channels, like Fox and Infowars to help out in this endeavor.

“screw you trump,” don’t care if he is allowed back on or not. A link to truth is effective.

Do not do Twitter or any cable noise adding CNN and MSNBC to those you mentioned and you should be just fine.

Just today I was tiring of hearing them talk about Kevin McCarthy taking over as speaker of the house, as if it was a given. Very annoying.

Cable Noise is pretty much banned in my house. Sometimes my wife will put on CNN in the morning and I just walk out of the room. I much prefer NHK, DW, France 24, BBC and PBS for my news sources with NHK being an early morning ritual.

I see it as a possible benefit as this may very well damage what I consider to be a useless social media service.
