Isn't news narrative? Seems like I am missing what is bad about this article.
Or did you want just the facts? New app call ____ which does ___. Move along you now have all the facts?
I want a news story to give me context and some way to sort out the narrative and do something with the raw data.
I'm honestly not sure how I escape the bubble at this point.

Boil away the opinion/predictions made by every article and get down to what concrete, verifiable facts they contain (if any). Check original sources! Articles that cite a legal decision or laws and don't give a link to actual court papers/law are a special peeve of mine. Compare which facts get omitted in each version and which agree. Track who does (and doesn't) get over the stopped clock threshold (i.e. being right at least twice a day) and how often in matters of fact (not opinion). Track future predictions (right and wrong, take special note of fuzziness and lack of a time horizon). Remember the bias induced when we only remember some predictions and not others. Even when there are people you find hateful, it's important to understand what they believe and why.
Nope 2 million under the popular vote doesn't seem like they were wrong at all.
>On the Friday after the US presidential election, Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab.ai, a social network favored by conservatives, was kicked out of Y Combinator “I am actually surprised it took them this long to excommunicate me,” Torba told BuzzFeed News. “Y Combinator doesn’t accept conservatives and they don’t accept Trump supporters.”
this is relevant here because of what this dude was actually doing, being a prick.
> In the Facebook thread, before he was booted from Y Combinator, Torba wrote: “All of you: fuck off. Take your morally superior, elitist, virtue signaling bullshit and shove it. I call it like I see it, and I helped meme a President into office, cucks.”
it took me a long time to learn that you don't have the right to be a prick on the internet.
if you insist on being a prick, don't cry persecution when you get shown the door. don't cry censorship. it's neither. it's you being shown the door because you wanted to be a prick. full stop.
if the guy in the above example wasn't a prick, he'd still be in the program. he could have called people cucks with donations like the big boys do, and not on facebook like a child.
You're just going on about how they deserve to be thrown out.
my point is that they aren't being thrown out because of their political views.
the guy in the above example wasn't purged because he was a conservative. it's a shock, I know, but consider the fact that he was shown the door because he was an asshole.
