8. Wow he is an idiot.

The "radical left" is in total command of four of the largest Capitalist ventures on the internet? Really you stupid idiot? That is what you are saying?

Even if the "radical left" were in total control of the four, so what? Where is the illegality? Is Fox News illegal? Is OANN illegal? Breitbart and Drudge? Since when is it illegal for private companies to determine what their content is?

There is no anti-conservative bias on any of those sites. They are moderated by terms of service. The fact is that right wingers tend to be more racist, bigoted, sexist, and vulgar, which runs afoul of TOS is why they get booted more frequently. Be better people and we will allow you to play online.

Finally, the world, especially tech, is about progress. New ideas and new paradigms which leads to the accurate saying that "reality has a liberal bias". We all change whether we think so or not. We have progressed in fits and starts, but always progressed. That doesn't mean that problems of the past have gone away, but it means that people's attitudes about things tend to move toward change, inclusion, and adaptation to new ideas. This means that while conservatism is powerful, it is fighting a losing battle. It doesn't mean that there is willful bias against conservatives, it just means that being stuck in the past and hanging on to outdated ideas is not a sustainable path.
