I actually believed something he posted that I hadn't clicked on the link. He needs to stop posting propaganda pieces as fact all over these boards. Is there a way the URLs to Daily Beast and other such sites can be blocked so that incorrect info isn't posted like that here at Sitcoms Online? TMC also disguises every link so it doesn't show up as a non-reputable site and you have to click on it for clickbait.

I don't think TJ wants to get into blocking URLs. If so, I suspect he would have blocked those bitchute "Covid is a hoax!" videos already.

How are the links being disguised?

How are the links being disguised?They are being disguised with TMC's editorial of what he wants you to think the article is about. In one of them he slandered Mayim Bialik saying she had a history of shaming Harvey Weinstein victims. In all of his links he substitutes what the site is with his editorial so you can't see the site unless you click on the link.

I don't know. Mayim Bialik's comment in the NYT did feel a little disrespectful to Harvey Weinstein's victims to me, and she's apologized (https://www.vulture.com/2017/10/mayim-bialik-apologizes-for-controversial-weinstein-op-ed.html). I like Mayim a lot, and felt like her depiction of Amy on TBBT helped save that show, but saying, in essence, "dress more conservatively" to victims of sexual harassment felt somewhat like victim blaming. My sister's been the target of sexual harassment; she's never dressed provocatively... she doesn't even wear women's clothes (except women's sneakers). The solution to sexual harassment doesn't lie in asking women to wear conservative clothing. Women can wear full-on burkas and still be harassed.


In all of his links he substitutes what the site is with his editorial so you can't see the site unless you click on the link.

Okay. If you hover your mouse over a link, your browser will tell you where the link goes, at the bottom of your browser's page. (Hopefully, this is helpful.)

The Daily Beast has been linked on here hundreds of times in recent years. It's not a propaganda site just because one person mentions it. I don't think they are blocked on Twitter of Facebook.

I wouldn't want to decide what links would be blocked. We would need some type of committee.

Most links are fact checked by members here. People can use their own judgment. The only links we have blocked are spam related or malicious.
