OPINION: How Social Media Has Distorted Medical Judgment

December 24, 2025 Joseph Varon

In the past, medical judgment was underpinned by three fundamental pillars: honest observation, open debate, and the humility to acknowledge our limitations in knowledge. While these principles still thrive in the day-to-day interactions within clinics and ICU corridors, they have been increasingly overshadowed online by a chaotic environment that often prioritizes sensationalism over substance. Social … Read more

Two weeks ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced changes to Facebook and Instagram’s content moderation policies in order to return these platforms to their “roots around free expression.” Meta will eliminate restrictions on debate around controversial topics like immigration and gender identity, dramatically reduce the use of automatic moderation, and replace fact-checkers with Community Notes. These are … Read more

A Fresh Warning to Public Officials Who Block People on Social Media

January 27, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The courts have said don’t do it. Do not block “constituents” on social media – if you use that platform for politics. The lesson is to separate the two, but not everyone is able. In some cases, especially for the Marxist-Leaning lot, they could no sooner separate politics from discourse than bones from their flesh. … Read more

TikTok Goes Dark Despite No Threat of Enforcement

January 19, 2025 Steve MacDonald

170 Million US TikTok users are going through withdrawal today after the platform went dark in response to a law passed by Congress and signed by Joe Biden. The bill was argued as a necessary step to prevent China from collecting data from Americans. We assume this is data Joe Biden and Democrats have not … Read more

Elected Officials Should Read This Before Blocking People on Social Media

January 26, 2025January 5, 2025 Steve MacDonald

I wrote this last year, but with a new session just a few days away, I thought this might be a good time to revisit it. Elected officials who use social media accounts to report on their duties, votes, bills, hearings, or anything similar are setting themselves up to get sued if they block people … Read more

January 4, 2025April 15, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Manchester NH House Rep/Lobbyist Alissandra Murray has occasionally attracted the attention of our authors and commenters. Last week, she is reported to have used the block feature on her X account, which is as good a time as any to revisit this.

With 9-0 Decision SCOTUS Tells Public Officials How Blocking People on Social Media Could Get them Sued

March 17, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I like to harp on local House Reps, typically Democrats, who block people on social media that disagree with their public political statements, positions, or advocacy. Now, I can say they should have seen this coming, especially those who praised the courts for smacking then-President Trump around for doing the same thing.

November 27, 2023November 27, 2023 Steve MacDonald

We are reminded of the well-worn adage, “The left Always Tells you who they fear.” Donald Trump, obviously. Judge (now Justice) Brett Kavanaugh as well as Justice Clarance Thomas. And Elon Musk the moment he purchased Twitter under the auspices of restoring free speech to the platform.

With Nikki Haley in Second Place in NH I Feel Obligated to Remind Voters That She is a Constitutional Threat

November 22, 2023November 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Much has been said about the rise of Nikki Haley to second place in New Hampshire, mainly as a vehicle for bashing a struggling Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has the second place spot almost everywhere but the Granite State.

She Didn’t Mean to But Nikki Haley Just Ended Her Campaign for President

November 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Nikki Haley has been as on the rise as a candidate can be in this primary cycle, gaining ground on Ron DeSantis and making big media buys with all the swampy Neo-Con money she’s been getting. And good for her. That’s all part of the process. But it may have all been in vain. She just ended any hope she had of winning the nomination.

How to Get Banned From Truth Social [Updated]

May 24, 2023May 23, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If you have any sort of online footprint, you get a lot of garbage emails. If you run a popular blog, you get about ten times the amount of garbage email. You also get a separate mountain of great emails, so you have to sift through them for the good stuff. Imagine my surprise when I got this from Truth Social.
