Their reaction is kinda sad. Everybody just hopped on the mod's train and nobody seems to have done much digging on the arguments presented. That's not what critical thinking looks like. Which publication are we going to cheer being banned next?
Actually no. Most of us previously supported George News and were swayed by the logical arguments presented. The most persuasive one.wss the thoroughly unnecessary, initial banning of a poster for asking a legitimate question about the providence of a video that was used. I didn't see anyone at GAW jump on board without reading through the comments. Might have happened, but I would say that was an exception rather than the rule. In fact, what I saw were a bunch of people very disappointed that the evidence indicates George News is likely false.
The 'logical arguments' weren't even argued. In about a span of 3 hours, the mod posted the original 'look into' and the 'it's banned' posts. For a community of deep and critical thinkers, that's virtually no time at all to allow for the 'logical arguments' to be scrutinized.
