I disagree. No one on earth is capable of saying if everything is inaccurate or not. You could spend trillions of dollars and still only be right 95% of the time.

        it's called being a patriot. once upon a time the US was free and not ruled by jews.

            I'm not suggesting that. Standards and practices are a thing, and you can do that without silencing dissenting opinions (I'm all for Free Speech, but I refuse to be harassed or threatened, and there are mechanizations to cull that from the platform - banning, muting, etc. - without infringing on those rights). You can publish the best information available and the sources that support it, while still allowing for free discussion.

            That's NOT what the Biden Administration did. They picked their side and tried, and succeeded, in forcing Twitter to silence any dissent.
