why do political forums and messageboards practice "birther" control ??

there is no doubt that after years of suppressing the very phrase off the main boards, that there is a concerted effort by moderators to "keep the suject silent". there is proactive manipulation of "the natural course a discourse will take" and i believe has been "affected" by human intervention. not just here.

maybe this subject like the birther issue, is taboo. since the discussion forums are a form of media, i think it's odd that the outlets that can be manipulated, are.

"the unexamined medium is not worth living."
