In explaining its actions against Stossel, lawyers for Meta stated - I'm guessing in very hushed tones - that the warning labels affixed by Facebook "are neither false nor defamatory; to the contrary, they constitute protected opinion." Yes, you read that right. Facebook is legally entitled to its opinion when judging the opinion of its customers! In other words, these so-called fact-checkers are merely referring to their own political predilections i.e. opinions when casting judgment upon the opinions of Facebook users. So it's probably fair to say that the image of Facebook fact-checkers all hunched over and squinting at digital Almanacs and Britannica encyclopedias all day in Zuckerberg's sweatshops is an illusory one.See also:
The lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in US District Court in Washington, alleges that Pelosi and the investigative committee that she appointed are trying to suspend constitutional liberties "in coercive secret proceedings specifically designed to satiate a political witch hunt."See also:
The committee subpoenaed Jones in November, demanding documents related to his role in organizing an election-fraud protest that escalated into the Capitol riot, according to the lawsuit. The panel also ignored the radio host's constitutional objections, insisting that he testify in Washington on January 10, and it sought to obtain his phone records through AT&T.
"The select committee's members have made it abundantly clear that they are only interested in prosecuting political adversaries," the lawsuit said, adding that Jones was put in the "unconscionable position" of facing imprisonment if he exercises his constitutional rights.
Jones claimed that the committee is violating his 1st Amendment rights as a journalist, his 4th Amendment right of privacy in his papers, and his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. The lawsuit noted that committee chairman US Representative Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) showed his disregard for those protections when he suggested in an MSNBC interview earlier this month that invoking the 5th Amendment may show that a witness is "part and parcel guilty to what occurred."
Comment: The same or similar situations have never been allowed to resolve. According to plan, they continue to spiral upward with increasing momentum, hate, murder and destruction. To close one eye and turn a deaf ear is to be complicit.
