Tale of 2 Darcys: Oliver Darcy blames Trump for feeding the Right’s ‘censorship paranoia’, TRIPS over his old tweets
Just two short years ago, Oliver Darcy seemed to understand that folks on the Right are indeed censored more in social media. But now that Trump is president and actually speaking out about the issue, he’s calling it paranoia.

For real.
Trump claimed in a tweet that social media companies are "silencing millions of people," exacerbating a longstanding paranoia from conservatives who have for years erroneously accused social media companies of bias and censorship https://t.co/89Jp9OxK2I

Longstanding paranoia from conservatives.
Alrighty then.
You… You literally played an integral role in forcing media companies to silence Alex Jones.
Do you even think before writing something so easily proven as false?

Even though a couple of years ago he didn’t think it was just paranoia.

Must be nice to be a protected ‘class’ in social media, eh?
Erroneously? Please explain why we get Facebook bans for sharing an abortion photo. Or, stating our opinion. However, a liberal can threaten us, or our families and they find no violation. Care to elaborate why Facebook removed the Declaration of Independence as hate speech?

He can’t explain it so he just calls people who are getting censored, paranoid.
So what the heck happened to the guy?
Is it a CNN thing?

Would love to ask the Oliver Darcy of old what he thinks of the Oliver Darcy of now.

Did social media suddenly stop censoring Conservatives? Oh, wait, no they didn’t. In fact, it’s only gotten worse … but sure, paranoia.
The Darcy of May 2016 was a key staffer at The Blaze –
And then a year later (April 2017) went over to the #DarkSide at CNN.Just a "journalist" doing his master's bidding.
