No hate filled leftist media entity ever gets removed from these platforms and I’m sick to death of it. That said Jones really screwed the pooch with the sandy hook thing.

Alex may need to hire his own crisis actors.

Dang it! I’be been talking up Roku just because they don’t play the censorship game. So much for that.

Three Liberal activists puppeteering 5000 Twitter accounts. Twitter was invented for this scam IMHO.

Roku BANS the Best Programs !!

... as a marketing strategy. News at 11.

LMAO!

The Roku marketing department has announced that those authors, voices and programs, with the highest viewership and audience, will be BANNED.
We recommend that you turn the Roku volume OFF, and just play Alex Jones in the background on audio.

Exactly, Alex Jones is the devil.

And the NY Times, NBC, CBS, ABC really screwed the pooch when they posted their 20 fake news lies, every single day for decades. That was their downfall.

“What First Amendment?”

The First Amendment does not include the word “Roku.”

Time to hoist the Left on their own "Living, Breathing Constitution" petard.
