New York, Feb 2 (Ians) The claim that social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube suppress conservatives is not just untrue but is itself a form of disinformation, a falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it, says a new report from New York University's Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.
Former US President Donald Trump also accused major social media companies of censoring the political right.
In response to Twitter's decision to exclude him from the platform on January 8, Trump accused the company of "banning free speech" in coordination with "the Democrats and Radical Left."
But the new report said that no trustworthy large-scale studies have determined that conservative content is being removed for ideological reasons or that searches are being manipulated to favour liberal interests.
Even anecdotal evidence of supposed bias tends to crumble under close examination, wrote the authors of the report Paul Barrett and J.

Washington — Imagine this: It is the evening of Sunday, November 1, 2020. In two days American voters will go to the polls and pick their next president. Seemingly out of nowhere, a strange video appears online. First on Twitter, then Facebook, then everywhere. The video shows the Democratic nominee talking about a plan to rig the upcoming election.
To the untrained eye, the clip is real — and devastating. The candidate’s face, voice, clothing, and body movements all match up. The candidate scrambles to rebut the video, claiming it’s phony and manufactured,...

"You have your mission, Doctor, and I have mine." Paladin has debuted a trailer for the film The Ottoman Lieutenant, another historical war drama, this one directed by Joseph Ruben. Set during the first World War (or "The Great War"), the film is about a woman who ends up in a love triangle between an American doctor and a dashing lieutenant for the Ottoman Imperial Army. Josh Hartnett stars as the American, Michiel Huisman as the lieutenant, and Hera Hilmar as the woman who comes between them. The cast includes Ben Kingsley, Haluk Bilginer, Affif Ben Badra, Paul Barrett, Jessica Turner and Peter Hosking. For whatever reason this reminds me of Bitter Harvest, and sadly both films look quite mediocre. Here's the first official trailer for Joseph Ruben's The Ottoman Lieutenant, originally from Yahoo: A beautiful, strong-willed woman (Hera Hilmar), who, frustrated by ongoing injustice at home, leaves the...
