Smug "I am too smart to be fooled" liberalism, I'd guess, based on the fact this legitimate point is currently being downvoted.
2 comments

It's being down voted because it's an accusatory, non-answer to a speculative statement. The parent comment literally stated "I want to verify this." It's not a legitimate point in any sense of the word legitimate.

I'd have myself a hard think about what lead you to writing such a comment up.

I don't. It matches anecdotes at best. That's why I want to verify it.
That makes sense.

Ironically though, just as another anecdote (and to the best of my knowledge), the very first "fake news" right-wing site who's operator was confronted, ended up being a left-voting liberal who [paraphrasing] "hated conservatives and people on the right, and wanted to spread disinformation to them to pollute their arguments".

But I guess we'll never know, so the best solution is still non-censorship.
