What liberals can't stomach is a company allowing the spread of nasty election lies.




"Company allowing the spread of nasty election lies" quite literally describes what any media company is doing when they give air time to pretty much any running candidate.

On the other end of the spectrum are sneaky, dark patterns and whatnot.
