This is a good analogy. I would not have an issue about running the story once on the basis of it is an unproven fact and then revisiting it when more information that is more factual is available.

How does one "prove" a fact to your satisfaction?

Because it seems that the story was proven to the satisfaction of someone at CNN, or else it never would have been reported...

... or are you going to claim -- without proof -- that CNN is in the habit of fabricating stories out of whole cloth?

The problem is however is that IF this is untrue and unable to withstand being taken to court as for evidence

Surely you don't expect CNN to take the story to court?

and it is repeated over and over while an example of Sen Pelosi getting inpregnated by a 15 year old buy (another fictitious story)

Wait just a minute... "another fictitious story"?

Who said the McConnell story was "fictitious"? In my hypothetical, the story is true. The Pelosi story might be fictitious, but in this example, McConnell really did have an an affair with an underage girl.

doesn't get but one or two minutes of time and is presented as nothing but a hit piece by conservatives for the whole time I consider that on the level of advertising for free for Democrats on both counts.

I'm sure you would... with no thought whatsoever regarding who fabricated the fictitious Pelosi story.

Of course, there's also the issue of the credibility of the story... I wouldn't expect any news outlet to give a lot of airtime to a story they don't find plausible. How long would it take for a good journalist to figure out the Pelosi story has more holes than Swiss cheese?

But according to you, they'd still have to give it as much air time as the McConnell story, which they believe (and which is true, whether it gets proven in court or not) or else cough up let's see... 2 counts of advertising for Democrats... $2 million!

The damage by Pelosie's fictional story if it had run for equal time with equal emphasis on it being "truthful" would profit Republicans similarly such that we could see a total of $2 Million of free advertising, 1 million per party but the lack of story emphasis for Pelosie would be a "loss" of $1 Million free advertising making the adjusted loss/gain between the two parties +1 for dems and -1 for Republicans.

Again, ignoring that the McConnell story is true, and the Pelosi story is fictitious.

But this type of free "ads" goes on constantly. If you however keep doing this and then a media source the does the opposite instead of putting it to McConnell they downplay his "story" as fiction and exaggerate Pelosie's story as a horrible truth then the win/loss would be $2 Million in favor of the Republicans.

Once again, ignoring the fact that one story is in fact true, and the other is a horrible lie.

Now if we continue on this thinking and add in a dozen more media outlets doing similarly lopsided storytelling and the left ones are "giving more free advertising dollars" than the right ones AND..... suddenly the left get people to ban and cancel media sources on the right then we have a lopsided and unfair free advertising situation.

Except you're ignoring that this isn't advertising -- it's journalism. You're charging journalists for doing their job -- and penalizing them if politicians on one side of the political spectrum get into more trouble than those on the other.

Free Speech is no longer free -- CNN now has to pay for the privilege.

As long as corporations don't get involved in this media equation <snip>

Tell me you did not just say this.

Who do you think OWNS the media?

I'm sorry, but I find this far too amusing to continue with the rest of the word salad.

Pence was indeed cowardly in subservience to EX President Trump, then found his backbone when it came down to upholding the US Constitution on January 7, 2021.

which has nothing to do with the topic at hand /end

When you called Pence a coward, it became relevant.

Sadly, backbone had nothing to do with it.

Donald's blatantly false ramblings to the contrary, Pence had no choice but to do as he did and certify the votes.

As amply demonstrated in this thread, Conservative voices are "demonized" with intent to silence, and said trend is a nationwide campaign at all levels:

House Commerce Committee meets on silencing conservative media

And it will get worse as more people sell their souls out to ban conservative speech outlets. It has gotten to the point that the truth only means something if you can profit from it these days.

Well, that's a million dollar advertisement for the GOP right there...

Letter to AT&T demands they censor demonized conservative news outlets like Fox, OANN, News Max and reveal information about their subscribers who viewed those networks in the lead up to January 6th 2021:

He did have a choice. But he chose not committing an illegal act.

If we're supposed to give our elected leaders a pat on the back for not committing treason, then the bar has been set a lot lower over the last four years than even I thought.

They're running up quite a tab.

I looked Gab up.

Gab is an American alt-tech social networking service known for its far-right userbase. Widely described as a haven for extremists including neo-Nazis, white supremacists, white nationalists, and the alt-right, it has attracted users and groups who have been banned from other social media and users seeking alternatives to mainstream social media platforms. Gab says it promotes free speech and individual liberty, though these statements have been criticized as being a shield for its alt-right and extremist ecosystem.

Why do people defend this?

The answer's in the part you quoted: "it has attracted users and groups who have been banned from other social media and users seeking alternatives to mainstream social media platforms.

There are millions of Americans who are lost without their great leader -- who has himself "been banned from other social media."

Relatively good news:

Behar attacked Carlson but then apologized somewhat:

Why do you attack Americans with demonizing words, and aid others doing so

America is not a "socialist" country

That includes "national socialist"

You may not like the word "his-tory" but that doesn't change the actual facts of what has happened on planet earth

Why should banks be FORCED to do business with unscrupulous companies that will only bring them bad publicity and cost them money?

It's not banks independently deciding what is good business. It's the religion of equality deciding what is good business: submit to our religion or else.

Ah -- and what does one fight "the religion of equality" with? Inequality?
