their president
what a time to be alive
why does that matter? Its trump's last days and there is no benefit to having him on the platform anymore. If I had a media platform I would ban trudeau from it for no good reason. Know why? Because freedom.

are you asking why it's important that almost the entire media industry can collude to decide what an elected president can publicly say?

Thats very hyperbolic and untrue. Donald Trump can say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants to say it, as he has tended to due. A company has the freedon to decide whether or not they carry it. It sets a terrible precedent to say a company or individual is forced to carry the message of a shitty lame duck president (or a throbbing vigorous one) simply because when they are a service the president partakes in they lose the ability to make their own choices of free enterprise. Fuck that maoist shit. Tech companies are terribly run with terrible objectives because they are given the freedom to do so. What kind of authoritarian shit is forcing a podium?

It's not a perfect example of your evil and seditious statement because its a company deciding it doesn't want to be part of an increasingly irrelevant individual's intent to sow discord among the populace. It's entirely understandable. As much as I enjoy laughing at trump tweets there is absolutely nothing wrong with banning him for 2 weeks
