| #38 You do have a "moderator" or two who ban commenters comments for no reason other than it countering another "moderator's" buddy's opinion. Dear rookie - you have any idea how many of my posts and / or comments have gone into the trash bin over the years? Get in line and take a number, asshole... |

| #36 A person I've known for years has slowly becoming more and more far left. She said, "Carlson is gone. Good That white supremacist should have been axed a long time ago". I asked her ho many times has she watched Tucker. She said she has never watched Fox so I asked how she knew Tucker was white supremacist. I still don't have an answer. |

| #35 #21 - at least you weren't referring to me or I'd ban you! ;-) |

| #34 Carlson spoke about big pharma and the lying media April 19. Starts at 2:30 Here. I can see why lots of folks would be upset. |

| #33 ^^ When Golden Throats see a dearth of Golden Throats on the right, suddenly they become Gold Throats for the right. Happens all the time, so I would not surprise me a tiny bit to see Carlson wind up at CNN. |

| #32 Was listening a while ago to John and Ken on LA radio station KFI. They expressed the opinion that Tucker was a phony who did not believe his own reporting, only reported the things he did because he thought that's what people wanted to hear and that was the way to get rich and famous. I thought, Well, John and Ken, how do I know that's not what you're doing? Then they said that Tucker would be hired by CNN to replace Don Lemon. I guess we'll see. |

| #30 Off color, nasty and vile with no redeeming social value might get your comment deleted here at Rantburg. But most of the comments I see getting deleted are totally incoherent. People here disagree with each other and the mods all the time. Russian and Ukrainian trolls both say false and nasty things about badanov but their comments remain. The main reason that old smoky asks you to leave the internet at Rantburg is if you're too fucking stupid. |

| #29 (Yeah go ahead and deny that, I expect that, too.) Hah! The fact that you disagree with me *proves* that I am right. Jeez, what are we, five? The posts that I have seen before they got waxed were... well, let's just say they did not add anything to the conversation. |

| #28 Bans seem to be related to vile sentiments or untoward language on the part of those getting what they deserve for being off color and nasty. |

| #27 #21 I disagree. You do have a "moderator" or two who ban commenters comments for no reason other than it countering another "moderator's" buddy's opinion. (Yeah go ahead and deny that, I expect that, too.) Rantburg policy is to not second guess a moderator's decision to ban a remark. |

| #26 "there is no spoon" Uri Geller says "Hold my cookie..." |
| Posted by: M. Murcek 2023-04-24 17:19 |
| #25 # 22 And there's the rub. Just as "there is no spoon", there are no cookies whether cyber or baked. So, do we continue to try to bend the spoon or do we look to perhaps improve on our current perception? |

| #18 We have some things coming down the pike, for example, a VPN server you can use to bypass internet filters. Working on that as I write this. I haven't watched Fox News in years, nay a decade, and what I have heard from Carlson, I got via youtube. The censorship regimen sux, but the pushback from my perspective is to continue what we do and have done for many many years. |

| #17 Ref #15 That explains a lot Bad, thanks for that, it actually brightened my mood! |

| #16 unfiltered and uncensored that's the old battlefield, which was lost some time ago. All we had was The Forlorn Hope, and now that has finally met it's inevitable conclusion. Welcome to The Wilderness. There are no cookies. |

| #15 #8 The censorship train just keeps chugging along. Who else here sees the days of the 'burg being numbered? Rantburgs presence is not driven by the profit motive. It should be, but it's not. That said, the servers which host Rantburg are separate and independent, as in really independent. The backup server is armored. We are only limited by personal longevity, so unless Bad Guys come for me or for The Boss, we are going to be here disseminating the news, unfiltered and uncensored. |

| #7 There’s word that Mr. Carlson intended to have an epic episode tonight, where he was reportedly going to delve into the Dominion Systems lawsuit and clear his name. He had guests lined up, but the bigwigs at Fox torpedoed the idea, leading to the host quitting. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how things went down, but that hasn’t satisfied his viewers. And there’s a competing narrative: Carlson would discuss the CBS 60 Minutes episode on January 6 but quit when producers said it was a no-go. From Townhall, probably wishful thinking... |

| #5 Perchance a requirement of the "Dominion settlement"? |

| #4 No notice firing, leading news/opinion host in all of cable news. Single loudest and most impactful conservative show gone without a closing show or even a meaningful explanation, this will generate/validate wide-ranging beliefs about the source of the power to do this. The Murdoch's lost nearly one Billion dollars in stock value in an hour, for a last minute decision with catastrophic impact on the brand of News Corp. Why? No small forces in play here. |

| #3 Maybe some people who consider themselves "conservatives" will actually become that with reduced exposure to FauxNews. |
