There is no left wing bias in the media? Oh please, stop it, I can't stop laughing!

Here we go

It is about time, good job President Trump

What a big cry baby 😥😂

The only one he is protecting is himself

This BULLY does NOT like criticism!!😂🤣👎🙃

Will it protect us from Trump rants?

A platform is a utility not a regulator.

The bias is pretty clear cut. What this means is more freedom for people to say what they want to say.

SocialMedia started as platforms for free flow of views. They dreamed of a world where ideas can be exchanged fearlessly. But, something changed in the middle. Now, censorship is creeping up in these oasis of freedoms. President Trump is bringing back the freedom to social media.

He wouldn’t have signed the order if it was Biden or Obama getting fact checked. And that there is the reason why it’s just a tantrum from an old man with a god complex.

The irony is that it’ll give Twitter the ammunition to remove his tweets 😂

DIVERSITY OF OPINION WARNING: This video may create anxiety among progressives:

Imagine spending so much of your presidency telling lies & creating division rather than acting like an adult & governing for the people. No wonder there are so many dead Americans now under his watch. He doesn't give a stuff about them, only that he can have his way. Priorities.

lol what a dick

Alleging bias? It's in full display and signed sealed and delivered by an insane person unfit to be President.

Some of the troll accounts commenting are hilarious. The right wing - the eternal victim !

Fact checking makes you a publisher. Selectively fact checking makes you a biased publisher. Platforms that engage in this behavior are not neutral and should not be shielded from having to take responsibility for the content on their platform. You can't have it both ways.

POTUS throws toy from cot! Screams: 'I want my you back!' Strong POTUS! 😠🥴😜

His bias

Tweeting bullshyte has defined his presidency. Shut down his account. The world of Twitter will be better for it.

Lol.

Alleged? There IS proven bias.

Nothing alleged about tech and msm bias it’s plane as the nose on your face

1. Trump lies and defames on Twitter. 2. Twitter takes steps to limit their liability and discourage users who lie and defame. 3. Trump tries to pass laws to make Twitter liable when people lie or defame. Am I the only one who sees the irony in this?

So is Twitter going to shut the nasty lying rodent.

Senile real estate crook, but also a serial abuser and authoritarian. Great CV!

1st Amendment“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom to talk shit with impugnity, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government...”

The right to free speech includes the right to fact check without retaliatory Exective action from the President

Not alleging bias - IT IS BIAS

And those words should be checked!!!!

Alleging lol

Hang on, carrot top is suggesting that someone has their thumb on the scale? Reality is that they're correcting his bullshit.

😂 Allow me to lie on social media or else!

Shut down his twitter account and he’ll have nothing to do all day. Try it for a laugh.

Is this the pose for the new trump sex doll

Ineffective and designed only to make him feel like a big boy. He needs Twitter more than it needs him.

C'mon you donkeys.... 'Alleging' bias!!!.....you're now doing comedy....I like it!!!!

How it’s been going down...

Trump has learnt heaps from Putin

Just another reason I want to go back to Australia 🙃

Another great move by the US President

Trump you are a powerhouse. There has never been anything like you before. I would happily kill any minority group for you as a mercenary!

He’s such a clown🤡🤡🤡

100% they are bias

Donald Trump signs order targeting social media giants after fact-check spat with TwitterDonald Trump is on the warpath against Twitter after the platform labelled two of his tweets, on the increasingly contentious topic of mail-in voting, with fact-check notices. A man is asked to leave the bar. The man brings in the National Guard. Given that Mr Trump uses your platform as the basis for his communications to his base I would say you have the upper hand. Whoa

Trump to sign executive order on social media on Thursday: White HouseIt was not immediately clear whether Trump has the authority to shut down the companies. let's go Of course he doesn't have the authority to shut down Twitter. The Constitution protects free speech absolutely. It's not even up for debate. Woefully out of his depth. And mind. Yet again.

Trump to sign executive order on social media on Thursday: White HouseBREAKING: US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies on Thursday, White House officials said after Trump threatened to shut down Twitter Inc, which he accused of stifling conservative voices. Not much difference to China. Just blue instead of red. One thinks their is more important things for POTUS to worry about in his country and the world rather than stressing over random Twitter comments. TheGreatAwakening WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE This is what communist countries do, silence/control the media. Trump doesn't seem to understand that. He doesn't have to tweet, he can appear on news broadcasts and spread his 'views'.

Trump threatens social media companies after Twitter fact-checks himDonald Trump and his campaign angrily respond after Twitter adds 'get the facts' links to two of his tweets which call mail-in ballots 'fraudulent' and predict that 'mail boxes will be robbed'.
