Our best talk show guys are silenced on vote fraud by their bosses at their networks for fear of billion dollar lawsuits which can’t win because Dominion would be defending against demonstrable truth but they fear the publicity and the cost of defending against a company that has access to unlimited funding.

Yes, AT=American Thinker, GP=Gateway Pundig.

I don't think AT has been "coopted" as much as AT is simply a low-quality, bush-league outfit. They have always been sensational, and their facts don't pan out under the most basic of checking.

Being 'conservative' and 'new media' and 'not mainstream' doesn't guarantee quality. Any loser can register a domain, hack away on a story or five, and hit "publish" on their GoDaddy site. Unfortunately, many people - including those who eschew the MSM - fail to exercise their God-given intelligence.

“of course this place isn’t infiltrated”

I would differ... This place IS INDEED infiltrated. It just is not coopted and not subject to pressure from boycotts and cancellation. There are plenty of posters around here that are trolls and instigators. You’ll see them. The only difference is that when they come here they get destroyed. They don’t have to be censored because we’re not afraid of their Goofy points of view.

Most all are commercial ventures with some making well over a hundred network requests in the fist minute after loading their page. FR makes 3.

Good on ya, Jack. There’s a lot of trolls here. Always has been.

OK. Stealth COOPTERS are very hard to detect.

Since Jan 23, 2021

Uhuh... Sure you have been reading for 10 years. I believe you 100%. No one else will, but I do.

10 years and you joined January 23rd. I suppose in that time you had nothing to contribute.

I mean even the dumbest trolls/agent provocateurs have pocket accounts so it is possible you really are that vapid.

I didn’t join for over 10 years because I would have used a cuss word every sentence against liberals “articles”, etc. Now I just say they are EVIL.
