  1. Disagreement =/= censorship

  2. What's the hypocrisy?

  3. Who hands out credibility?

  4. An echo chamber suggests a place where you cannot troll people with differing ideologies. Being ignored just means you're a shit troll.

  5. Nobody is banning or disabling your speech, stupid. We're disagreeing with you. Stop whining about free speech that no one's taking away.

  6. "I take it you're pro banning or disabling speech of those you disagree with" "I'm not talking about my speech" Yes, you are, as you clearly fall into the above category, stupid.

  7. There is no such thing as "no platforming." This isn't a right anyone has, and therefore isn't a right that can be taken away.

  8. "I like how you jump straight to rights" You mentioned censorship in your original post. That is a rights issue. This whole time you've been referring to a rights issue.

  9. Yeah, I'm starting to realize he doesn't even understand the meaning and implications of the words he's been using.

  10. That might be more the problem with Reagan repealing the fairness doctrine, so that TV news no longer had to be held accountable, and could start pushing different narratives, false equivalencies, turn everything in an equal-sides debate.

  11. When is "back in the day"? And how is reporting on him hypocrisy?

  12. "If interviewing Alex Jones damages your integrity, then TYT already has." Did they interview Alex Jones after he suggested Sandy Hook was a false flag operation?

  13. "I'm not equating them" I'm not equating them either, I'm contrasting them. The contrast is important, as it's the basis for their present disgust of Jones.

  14. I admit your David Duke example is a good one, so allow me to provide an elaboration that isn't in the video. The difference there is that Duke was challenged on his beliefs and his past. Jones is unlikely to be challenged by Kelly. Tyt followed up with their own videos criticizing Duke. Kelly is unlikely to do any such thing with Jones.

  15. "this is hypocritical because Francis Maxwell is making the claim that offering Alex Jones an interview on primetime television is immoral" So where's the hypocritical part? TYT isn't primetime television.

  16. "It is hypocritical because although TYT is not primetime television, they often at least claim to be as influential, if not more influential than primetime television in terms of viewership." No, they never claim this. Cenk claims they have more viewers than cable networks do ONLINE. Now, you could argue that the difference between primetime TV viewership and TYT viewership is negligible. That would be fine. But that's not an issue of hypocrisy, since those are explicitly different things.

  17. "Maxwell's entire argument seems to be that it is wrong or immoral to give Alex Jones a platform to speak because of the nature of Jones's rhetoric." No, that's not what you said before. You said this: "It is hypocritical because although TYT is not primetime television, they often at least claim to be as influential, if not more influential than primetime television in terms of viewership." Are you changing your argument now?

  18. "This is why it is hypocritical" Primetime television =/= Youtube channel. I'll copy and paste from before: Now, you could argue that the difference between primetime TV viewership and TYT viewership is negligible. That would be fine. But that's not an issue of hypocrisy, since those are explicitly different things.

  19. "Is the distinction made by amount of viewers" This very much seems to be the clear distinction, yes. There's also fact that primetime television has paying advertisers, and that a number of influential executives have to give the greenlight to such a decision. Additionally, whereas TYT is an opinion news show on which the personalities are not shy about expressing their opinions of people and what those people espouse, Megyn Kelly is unlikely to challenge Jones on anything. Therefore, it is very clearly giving him a platform to say what he wants to say, rather than highlighting the toxicity of what he says.

  20. "MSNBC's Megyn Kelly's show and TYT are comparable in this particular case because they are both large platforms" Do they have the same amount of viewership? If not, then they're not the same. You do realize that in order to establish hypocrisy, two things must be equivalent, yes?

  21. It's funny you'd use that example, since farting in public is not a crime but public indecency is. That's a perfect demonstration of your inability to grasp the concept of hypocrisy.
