Facebook, Twitter and the Truth
and Twitter are facing questions about taking down references to a New York Post report about Joe Biden.
The action of taking down information that is incorrect, might be incorrect, or is offensive is understandable and sensible, but why now?
There are still millions of Facebook pages that contain inaccurate information and no, there is no proof Australia and America are friends of that. But it seems likely based on with many characteristics in common most people’s observations. although with a few contrasts too.
This isn’t probably that bad given In Australia, an elderly COVID there are at least a billion users and patient is isolated in a hospital room some of them are fake. Is it even and cannot have visitors even as they possible for Facebook to take down all pass on. In America, an elderly COVID inaccurate pages? It’s doubtful. patient can leave hospital to go for a

Trump is wasting the oxygen he is using, and if he talks to a scientist, he may find out that oxygen is quite popular with Californians too and everyone else as well.
In fact, if he talks to a number of scientists, he may find out quite a few things like “Don’t be afraid of COVID” are wrong.
Watering down science sounds a

Do be afraid of COVID, it has killed more people (over 200,000) than guns so far this year (almost 33,000).
Pray for a vaccine for COVID and pray for the Science that will develop it.
The most difficult job in the world at the moment – being the moderator in the Trump- Biden presidential debate, or should that be debacle?
The moderator, Chris Wallace, found his task exceedingly difficult given the immoderate behavior of the current President.
Argue the politics, not the person, please.

Hopefully after he and Melania
Politics, not personality, please
