That’s based on the following that Quote Investigator said was penned by dictionary maker Samuel Johnson in 1748. “The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.”
There are those who could be confronted with a mountain of evidence, but who would refuse to look at it for a variety of reasons. News, fact checks, and analysis exists for those who are objective enough to look at the facts and can think independently, even if it means changing a previously held view.
While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.

Townhall continued, “The announcement was made by Andy Stone, who currently works as Policy Communications Manager for Facebook. In his tweet, he made it a point to not link to the Post’s story, adding, “I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.”
Millions ‘get’ their news from Facebook and Twitter. Right-of-center Breitbart, Townhall, and others are accusing those social media giants of ‘election tampering.’
American are racing toward a deadline with history on November 3, 2020. Shut Down DC is one of scores of leftist groups preparing for an “uprising” on and after November 3, and evidence reflects they were funded by “philanthropists” billionaire Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and George Soros.
Also 2020 election related is this exchange with left-of-center CNN and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-D).
This is such a disgusting display by Pelosi who denigrates @wolfblitzer for pushing her on why exactly she won’t do a deal w/ The White House on stimulus

Sources indicate that there is increasing pressure on Pelosi from Democrats to make the deal with the Trump administration, for the sake of millions of Americans who need the relief.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
What right-of-center Fox News said tonight on Special Report is that the computer that had the bombshell emails, texts, and photos that are purportedly those of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden with a Ukrainian with controversial Burisma has been in the FBI’s hands since December 2019.
Some messages reportedly from that laptop seem to point to influence peddling by Hunter leveraging his father Joe, then Obama’s vice president with charge of the Ukraine for the Obama White House.
What Fox didn’t mention is the context of that timeframe when the laptop was turned over to the FBI. It was during the Democratic impeachment of President Trump for a phone call the commander in chief called “perfect” and the transcript of the call with Ukraine’s president being rapidly released by the White House at that time. The benign transcript didn’t change Democrats minds.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon discusses new updates on Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s potential ties to the Ukraine.
The bombshell ‘October Surprise” 10.14.2020 New York Post story ended with this.
“You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true and no one has ever said that,” Biden fumed.
Biden then continued berating the man as he stepped forward, called the man “fat” and challenged him to “do push-ups together, man.”
The FBI referred questions about its seizure of the laptop and hard drive to the Delaware US Attorney’s Office, where a spokesperson said, “My office can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer refused to comment on the specifics but instead attacked Giuliani.
“He has been pushing widely discredited conspiracy theories about the Biden family, openly relying on actors tied to Russian intelligence,” the lawyer, George R. Mesires, said of Giuliani.
Pozharskyi and the Joe Biden campaign did not return requests for comment. Hochstein could not be reached.”
##
Townhall and Breitbart are among those who say that social media giants are de facto interfering with the election by restricting access to this story. Early voting is underway. Would Biden have a chance if there were straight reporting, instead of a high degree of spin and agenda driven mainstream media?
