They didn't leave the mainstream channels because they weren't allowed to speak. They left the mainstream channels because truth was not compatible with their worldview.

Ah, but is there any avenue for you to speak to them?

No, because they left the mainstream channels. I am still watching the same basic channels, following the same basic reporters, and reading the same basic news that I did 5 or 10 years ago. They are the ones who left for alternatives. Just look at the recent moves from Fox News to OAN or Newsmax. They will go wherever they hear what they want to hear. If I went to those places to talk to them, they would go somewhere else.

Have you tried any other sources? Because if you actually had, it's not that they're telling people what they want to hear. It's that they're showing the exact same things, except with the full clips and contexts.

Go watch the George Floyd body cameras. All of them. The full 1 hour (30 min per officer). The story is ENTIRELY different than the one that was fed to us.

This wasn't about George Floyd. It was about who won the election. What are your "other sources" saying about that?

The mainstream channels have constantly and blatantly lied to us about absolutely everything. Or have you forgotten Weapons of Mass Destruction, 15 days to flatten the curve, or the complete silencing of the Hunter Biden story (and it turns out he IS under active FBI investigation).

People don't trust those channels because it's so easy to look at literally any other non-mainstream source to see how we've been constantly lied to.
