Liberals are up in arms over a doctored video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi that showed up on Facebook. The video was slowed down to make her appear confused and as if her age is finally catching up to her.Democrats brought the video to Facebook's attention, letting them know the video had been doctored. Facebook came back and said it didn't violate their terms of service, therefore, the video can stay.When conservatives were being censored, liberals looked the other way. When conservatives were being suspended, liberals said censorship wasn't taking place. In fact, Dems have been in favor of social media websites' censorship because the owners are liberals.

Are you trying to tell me that Facebook won't allow parody videos to be posted? Humor including parody is an ESSENTIAL part of SOCIAL interaction.
Facebook is grappling with a realism of censorship. there is no way to do it fairly. Why? Because a person has to do it, either directly or set up rules for it and ALL people have biases. Instead, the founders of the Republic decided to treat us all as adults and allowed each of us to make decisions as to the validity and value of information. Only in rare cases does the level of danger of "bad" speech rise to the level requiring censorship, for example the classic, falsely yelling "fire" in a theater. Or no dirty language on broadcast TV. That had to work its way through the court system will all the associated steps to allow discussion and arguments.
Yes, we can all agree that certain forms of speech are offensive although, as in this case, we disagree as to exactly the kind that is offensive to "me". The answer is to turn away and not listen. Shut off the TV or radio. Don't read the story. If moved, lodge a counter argument with the publishers. Leave a comment on facebook. Write a letter to the editor. Comment on Lucianne. The best news sources make allowance for such discussions.
That is a failure of TV mediums, you are at the mercy of the broadcasters. Even if you respond, there is little chance the public will hear what you had to say. Even letters to the editor are filtered. Discussion sites are some of the best ways to deal with troublesome issues, allowing us to argue out the issues. When convincing arguments are made, some are educated. Some realize their opinions, while they still hold them, are not appreciated or accepted; discussion acts as a social throttle.
Censorship, no. Except in the most of extreme of cases and after being fully vetted through the legal process.

Someone needs to tell Townhall that those people are NOT liberals. I would welcome a real classic liberal any day. But leftists are anti-liberals.
#3, I seem to remember in the old days that citizens used to be able to get editorials on local TV stations. Maybe I remember incorrectly but there seemed to be a time when other views were broadcasted.

Pelosi’s inability to find the right words is a sign of dementia, Alzheimer’s or senility. I’ve seen it in my own family. My late father knew what he wanted to say; he just couldn’t retrieve the right words from his brain and get them out of his mouth.
Pelosi needs to retire. Her family needs to take her home. But maybe they prefer to have her 3,000 miles away in DC and don’t care that she makes an arse of herself in public every day.

Nothing wrong with the video. SHE is the one who needs some serious doctoring. Demented dingbat. A senile old coot who should be taken away by men in white coats!

Doesn't look doctored to me....sounds and looks more like she's been drinking more than she should.

Yeah, whatever..... It's not as if I needed another reason to not patronize Facebook. In fact, I would like a ban on posting news stories that consist, for the most part, of Twitter feeds. But that's just me....
Another reason why so many think that social media is just another of the benefit of socialism.

There can be only one reason why FB allowed this video to stay. They want Pelosi out of the way, and newer, more radical socialist leadership to replace her. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t an attempt at fairness. The left is always calculating.

I've read articles and heard news reports that the video is "doctored". They all treat that as absolutely true. But I have not seen any evidence of it. How do they know it was slowed down? Perhaps Facebook realizes that if they ban the video they will be required to provide proof that the video is fake, when it isn't.

Actually, I did find an article about "experts" proving the video was slowed down. Now I see the game. This is another Democrat "false flag" attack, like the bizarre accusations about Hillary running a child sex ring out of some restaurant in NYC. They create a "straw man", something easy to disprove, in order to distract from similar, but true, issues. This explains why they were immediately ready to disprove the video the moment it came out, why all the MSM were ready with reports, and why Facebook is suddenly a paragon of fairness. They all want the video to stay up so they can point to point to it the next time (probably tomorrow) Pelosi jabbers incoherently on camera. From now on they will treat it as a given that any video like that is fake.
