Censorship

The Babylon Bee has come under fire for its satirical posts on Facebook before, and it appears it’s happening again.

While downplaying Silicon Valley’s documented censorship of conservatives, Thursday’s CBS Evening News accused President Trump of picking a fight with Twitter because it was a distraction from the coronavirus death toll, which surpassed 100,000 earlier in the week. Yet, White House correspondent Ben Tracy couldn’t even bring himself to say that it was conservatives who were accusing Twitter of…

On Wednesday, Washington state Superior Court Judge Brian McDonald granted Fox News’s motion to dismiss the farcical pipe-dream of a lawsuit by the far-left WASHLITE claiming First Amendment rights don’t apply to the cable network. Why? According to WASHLITE, their early coverage of the coronavirus pandemic was deadly irresponsible. On the ruling’s last page, McDonald threw WASHLITE a bone in…

Twitter has long threatened to label certain tweets from President Donald Trump. Now it finally has used the liberal media to fact-check his tweets.

Here’s the headline from Fox News: "MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski wants Trump blocked by Twitter: ‘A call is being set up.’" The Fox report begins by noting Mika was furious with a presidential tweet that took aim at hubby Joe Scarborough, her co-host on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The story goes on to say: 

RESTON, Va --- On Friday, MRC Founder and President Brent Bozell sent the following open letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey demanding consistency in policing of satirical content. In part, Bozell wrote: "For the record, I'd like you to explain the difference between satire and satire. Unless satire by the left is admissible but by the right deplorable. But that would make Twitter a biased…

For all of CNN’s conspiracy theories, juvenile news coverage, and lack of accountability on the left, MSNBC has had many of the same issues. On Thursday’s Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace and former Obama official Richard Stengel flaunted their opposition to the First Amendment, equating President Trump’s pandemic rhetoric to Chinese disinformation campaigns. But even more sinister…

President Donald Trump retweeted a video on Saturday that was quickly deleted.  The video was a short clip from a speech that conservative Michelle Malkin gave decrying social media censorship of conservative voices.

A Telemundo breaking news report about Facebook’s April deletion of “nearly 2,000 accounts that attack immigrants, promote racism and spread false information,” not only pointed an accusatory finger at Trump followers but dated the event, originally announced on May 5th, as taking place “today”.

Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan acknowledged Facebook has nearly three billion users, but she still wants it to have an "Executive Editor" to punish and censor the "misinformation" that is harming our democracy. The fact that Facebook's new Oversight Board has only two out of twenty members who are conservative does not seem to impress Sullivan. 

We already know that YouTube considers the World Health Organization to be an 'authoritative source' to the extent that it will remove (censor) videos that run counter to the views promoted that organization by labeling such videos as "misinformation." However, the real question should be does YouTube also consider the Chinese Communist Party as an "authoritative source" in light of the fact that…

Twitter does not seem to have a direct answer as to whether or not it has reduced visibility for President Donald Trump’s Twitter account. Twitter’s U.K. Head of Government, Public Policy and Philanthropy, Katy Minshall, was asked by MP Clive Efford if the company “often take[s] action against tweets from the president of the United States?” She seemed unable to answer the question in an April 30…

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has proposed a way to discourage Hollywood from profiting off of Communist Chinese propaganda. It’s not news that Hollywood production companies edit and censor their films according to the dictates of the Chinese government.
