All american Christmas at Fox
Square, special
willwell. Meanwhile, as President
Trump moves ahead with his legal
battle, radio talk, show host
Larry Elder is arguing in a new
op ed that the president has
already won his other campaign
and that was to destroy the
medias credibility
PETE four more years, major
media, along with their Democrat
comrades band together to bring
down trump,
they appear to have succeeded,
but, as did trumps campaign, who
ebbs nosed the bias so that
much of America will never again
trust it
Trump won.
Jedediah here to react. Host of
the podcast Rob Smith is
problematic, Rob Smith,
I always smile when I I read the
title of your podcast
thats the point
Jedediah Larry elder that we
began the show with
laughter
number one. Larry Eller is an
absolute legend and hes
absolutely right.
Literally for the past four
years we have seen the
mainstream media lie about
President Trump. We have seen
them cover up the good things
that were happening and weve
seen so much stuff.
Look. We got russian collusion
delusion. We had the very fine
people smear so that lie that
President Trump said: Nazis and
white supremacists are quote
very fine people, one of the
biggest whoppers in american
political history, and the list
goes on and on and on
and one of president trumps.
Many legacies, I think, is that
he completely exposed the
mainstream media
and the thing about it. Is you
dont even need to be a
Republican to see this? You just
need to be somebody that has a
brain and engages in the
critical thinking.
It happens so often that it
became so often, and people know
that the mainstream media will
try to destroy Republicans or
republican candidates all the
time, so we dont trust them
PETE. So interesting rob
will we have had this
conversation off camera a couple
of times. Did President Trump
create this insanity or expose
it?
I agree one hundred percent for anybody, whos
been in media. You know this
kind of symptom existed before
president Trump.
He just sort of shocked
everybody out of their masks
right.
They essentially took it off for
President Trump,
oh yeah, absolutely
look. I say that im, a
recovering journalist,
look. I went to Columbia
University for Journalismment. I
worked in all the mainstream
media outlets. I know exactly
what they do.
I know the lie about cutting off
a quote right before it starts
to make. It seem like it was
something other than what it
was.
I know about deliberately
tweeting things that are mess
truths.
This is mistruths.
This is what they do and I
dont think people were as a
aware of it before as they were
during this entire Trump
administration.
I am somebody that personally
got rentalled and that means
became republican leaning during
this administration, because its
so obvious that if youre a
thinking person with a brain
you cant unsee it
PETE. So true rob.
If you look at Facebook or
social media, you realize the
level of bias and censorship
there as well off the charts,
but this most recent development
from Facebook. I gotta get your
explanation for it.
So Facebook has said its going
to treat hate speech against
whites, men and Americans as low
purity,
so those are priority.
Those are low priority
Heres the statement.
We know that hate speech
targeted towards
underrepresented groups can be
the most harmful, which is why we
have focused our technology on
finding the hate speech that
users and experts tell us is the
most serious.
So now Facebook is in the
business of saying certain hate
speech really serious, but if
you want to hate in the other
direction were going to look
the other way.
Look, I think what it says
is obviously Facebook and a
lot of the social media platform.
All hate speech is not created
equal.
I kind of understand where
theyre coming from, but at this
point it really does just
refrequent the kind of far
reflect the kind of far left
priorities that a lot of these
companies have.
For example, even if you can
say you know something bad
about a black person, you know
is bad, but if you talk badly
about black conservatives, then
nobody cares
its. You know. The same thing
happened with Candace Owens the
other day when Noah Cyrus
basically had a racial slur
against her and nobody cared.
I think what these social media
platforms need to do is realize.
All hate speech should be equal.
I think that this really points
out the nature of some of these
platforms
and, like I said, big tech needs
to be regulated.
This tough is an agenda and
its just just going to keep on
going unless we do things like
overview. The section two hundred and thirty
PETE yeah, the presidents.
