Cue the Censors; Twitter, Facebook, Google all censoring 'fake news' outlets

No, it's editorial discretion. Only the lazy rely on google or especially, facebook. All of the sources you are so fearful about are freely available. All you have to do is visit them.

Every newspaper in the world picks and chooses it's content. That's not censorship.

If the government or some cartel tells them they can't cover something, or tells them what they can and can't say, that is censorship. It's no different in new media.

So who gets to decide what's a 'huckster' and what's a legitimate alternative point of view?

quite frankly the same issue exists in traditional media. At some point every day, an editor decides what stories get run and which don't. They either appear in print or they don't. Lots of stories the API or Reuters write don't get run.

Same thing happens on the aggregation sites. It's not censorship.

Can someone make a bad choice? Sure. Can there be a political agenda to the choices. Of course.

Sure, but one can hardly deny major mainstream media organizations push a political bias. You wouldn't deny that Fox News pushes a Republican establishment bias or that MSNBC pushes a Democratic establishment bias, right?

Not really a fair assessment anymore.

George F. Will, Nicole Wallace, Greta Von Susreren all work there. I think they're trying to hire Hugh Hewitt too.
