Assange's internet connection has been severed to try to stop him.
Stop him doing what? Swiping the same girls hes been hounding on tinder within his search radius for the past five years? Wikileaks isn't based in the Ecuadorean embassy.

Nick, I had that link amongst others in a post the mods deleted. Who ever deleted that was being pretty ott, there was no abuse just a background on wnd
For example http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/why-does-devil-in-the-bible-look-familiar/
On the other hand, I've got Six No Trumps and SixPence - if I can find one more Six, I could have a genuine Antichrist on my hands!

If you can't see that is dodgy as all hell, then there is no hope for you.

@Frank when a self aggrandizing tool can't tweet to the world how awesome he is I struggle to give a shit outside of wondering if they can do the same to David Pocock.
I don't share your feelings on the likes of Assange or wikileaks and they'll still be posting shit about Hillary whether or not Assange has internet access. -

A good article on mainstream media bias.
On the "Mainstream media bias", the article BSG posted to support that theroy was from the WSJ.
The number one newspaper in the US. By a fucking mile.
Fox News, the other plucky outsider battling against the mainstream to out Hillary is, of course, the number cable news channel in the US. And has been for years.
Now if only the mainstream media would start supporting Trump....

Three men face domestic terrorism charges for allegedly plotting to bomb an apartment complex occupied by Somali immigrants in southwest Kansas, the US Department of Justice said Friday. The men had talked about filling four vehicles with explosives and parking them at the four corners of the apartment complex in Garden City to create a large explosion, the DOJ said in a news release.
About 120 Somali immigrants live in the complex, CNN affiliate KWCH reported, and acting US Attorney Tom Beall said one of the apartment units served as a mosque. The trio, members of a militia group that calls itself The Crusaders, wanted to "wake people up," the DOJ said. They were stockpiling weapons and planned to release a manifesto after the explosion, Beall said at a news conference.

Our comments in relation to the articles/videos are good examples of confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance. None of us are rational - but we are claiming we are.
That's the genuinely scary thing about the likes of Facebook & Google, they are 100% created to learn what we like & tailor our news to that. Once you have a FB news feed for a year all that is coming down that feed is news that the algorithm knows you like. Same with Amazon with our shopping. So its possible - even probable, that people feel incredibly well informed on topics, despite being staggeringly poorly informed.
Its created a silo'd society where people in each group have utter certainbty that they are right because they've read extensively on the topics. And zero trust in those outside their silo.
Pick any of the big issues in society today, Climate Change, Islamic Terror, Guns, Taxes, Elections, Vaxines, Food Allegies..
We in the West pat ourselves on the back for not reading propaganda like those in in dictatorships, while reading a very narrow stream of news tailor made not to differ with our click learned world view.
