CNN FURIOUS Over Trump's Defense Of Paul Joseph Watson. Following Trump's defense of Paul Joseph Watson after facebook banned him, CNN reporter Oliver Darcy tweeted in outrage over the actions of the president. In a story he wrote on CNN he published overt and obvious fake news lies from Facebook about how they take action.Later in the story Darcy even parrots activist rhetoric about social media censorship, "private platforms," and free speech. While the first amendment doesn't protect people from private censorship, freedom of speech is a universal principal not a law regardless of the 1st amendmentThe article from CNN was an activist opinion piece masquerading as fact and along with rhetoric and actions from CNN reporters it seems like CNN is actively trying to get conservatives and anti establishment media banned from various platforms.This isn't the first time CNN played a role in getting someone banned and it likely won't be the left as CNN chases after far left activists rhetoric and agenda.

This morning, Donald Trump tweeted out support for those recently banned from Facebook, even retweeting Paul Joseph Watson, more than once. Naturally, many people on the left are upset by this, but to be fair, they'd probably be upset at whatever the president tweeted Facebook says they're banning the far right. It was not that long ago they said they were banning white nationalists, so they have moved the line and are getting closer and closer to banning regular conservatives. The reason this move is significant is that for years the media has laid the groundwork that Republicans today are extremists and far right with story after story saying the same thing even pointing out positions that damn
rats held only a few years ago- are far right. How
until they start banning regular all trumps importers, there's no,
but our example of this then CNN, who played an active role in banning more than one media company through their actions. There now publishing false statements and pushing activist rhetoric which to me
seems like they're, trying to get tromp or others bat. Today, let's take a look,
what's going on with the latest censorship fight and what CNN is doing and why they're doing it? Never
we get started. I'd like to give a quick shudder. Today's sponsor all of you, if you go to TIM, cast dotcom, slash donut

now? The easiest way to support this video is just a shared on social media. Tat spread the news. We saw the story yesterday, Trump Bash, as Facebook Twitter
four censorship of conservatives sorry says that president dropped took aim at social media giants, Facebook and Twitter and a series of tweets Friday evening, claiming the platform have unfairly censored. Conservative voices but Donald Trump kicked it up a notch by retreating, Paul, Joseph Watson, lore in southern and others on the issue of censorship, even retweeting, Paul more than once and of course, left wing media pounced publishing stories about how tromp was
tweeting far right Youtube STAR in attack on social media, but of course, CNN had this story where they sat Trump tweet support for far right figures banned by Facebook. They
The president shared more than a dozen tweets about the subject on Friday, night and Saturday morning, and he conveniently avoided the fact that some of the bad users are extremists who make a living by deceiving their fans interestedly. This story isn't listed as an opinion peace, but this here is an absolute opinion. There's no way around it. He conveniently avoided the fact you dont know why he didn't bring.
Up implying it was convenient, is your opinion and whether or not these people are extremists is also your opinion. But again is anyone surprised at sea
his mask a rating opinion, as fact they say his posts were a rallying cry, full of resentment towards big tech. He said it's getting worse and worse: Workin servants on social media, but Facebook executive say this has nothing to do with ideology or political party. It's about safety. Their story includes this quote from Facebook, which is of course,
a falsehood. It says we ve always band individuals or organisations that promote or engage in violence and hate regardless of ideology. However, these accounts have been on Facebook for a very, very long time and none of them broke any rules recently. If Facebook always band individuals in this capacity, they would have banned these people a long time ago. Clearly, this is not true and we can look to Oliver Darcy himself. As proof MID Monroe highlighted this tweet from Oliver Darcy.
Important to note that tech platforms did not enforce their own rules and take action against Alex Jones Info wars on their own accord. It took media outlets to point out four weeks that
before wars was skirting the rules on these tech platforms for them to enforce own standards,
so I'm going to ask this question right now to use it, and why would you uncritically publish the statement that in the past you refuted by saying they only take action because you pressured them to clearly Facebook
its not being honest here. Why wouldn't scene and include that? It's not true, but at the same time put their opinion about what Trump is or isn't avoiding. Clearly, this is an activist screen angry that Donald Trump is fighting back against censorship beyond that
see that includes an activist talking point users do not have government protected freedom of speech on privately owned platforms like Facebook, which again has nothing to do with the story and has more to do with them. Pushing activist rhetoric about what's wrong.
Going on CNN publishing an opinion, peace masquerading as fact, but when you look at Oliver Darcy actual twitter account you realize now he really does
of an agenda here. Trumps am twitter. Activity is being played out by info wars, as you'd expect reprehensible at the president, is legit.
I think this organisation, while also working to deal legitimize credible sources for news, he adds this isn't trump. Boosting conservative media
This is true, boosting a fringe organization notorious for trafficking in and profiting off of some of the worst conspiracy theories,
What Oliver is doing here is shifting the targets. What Donald Trump is talking about is censorship. What most of us talk about is the right to express yourself. It is no defence of the things any of these people say it is no defence for the fact that info wars is a fringe website.
Alex Jones talks about aliens. The point is social media sites in a coordinated, concerted effort, banned a group of personalities and gave the press a heads up under embargo. That is targeting just one group,
of people, but what Oliver is doing here is changing the argument, the President's defending
Gee is instead of defending the right to expression. He went on to tweet. What's the difference between the president's twitter, feed and say info wars, to which I responded? What's the difference between a scene,
reporter and a left wing activist. Now I won't shy away from the fact that I am obviously in favour of certain principles and trying to defend them. The right to free expression, which puts me in a rather activist position when we're dealing with certain issues, but that's it
a secret, not only am I a journalist, I'm a political commentator and I've always been an information activist. But when someone like Oliver Darcy or
organization, like CNN pumps, out activist rhetoric and opinions, as fact, what are they going to come out and talk about how they in fact are activists, and I have to wonder
what's the point of the sweet is seen in trying to get Donald Trump banned because he's saying there basically enforce this, isn't even the first time
Let's see it, I've got a news organization suspended. This is a story
I'm just February. Russia is backing a viral video company aimed at american millennials. The story talks about Math EC media, which is a pretty left wing anti war media group. They say that method is a company whose majority stakeholder is roughly a subsidiary of our.
Which is funded by the russian government. Although method media has hired contractors and freelancers and allay in recent months, the company is not registered in the. U S is registered in Germany. Facebook suspended the pages on Friday, saying it would reach out to people running them to ask that they disclose where the pages are run from and there are Felicia with their pets
company in order to get back on the platform. The move was an unusual one for Facebook. The company does not require users to provide information about parent companies. Let's do a full stop right now. This story was published on a Monday CNN, waited until ass
or method was suspended, and why did see and unreachable facebook about math, specifically and not say Al Jazeera or other state funded news organisations like tell us or why specifically magic,
media as Kevin Installer Rights foreshadow proof,
how CNN led Facebook to censor pages of Russia Back Video company and manufactured a new story, Kevin Rights.
CNN, an unwanted search for a story about a russian funded digital media project that produces viral videos aimed at undermine
american democracy, whence you?
and journalists could not find what they were looking for? They effectively manufactured the news by giving Facebook a pretext for removing the projects.
Just used to share videos. Now the cable news network had their story. There was a point at which I said about CNN
simply. Reporting on an issue doesn't mean they're actively trying to get them banned. At this point, however, we ve certainly cross that line. Oliver Darcy is actively complaining nonstop about these platforms and
What Donald Trump is doing. Cnn journalists actively reach out to Facebook, targeting one company and ignoring several
It would seem. Certainly that see it
is just trying to get people band, and I have to wonder why well there's a lot of reasons, and I don't
for sure, but we do know that CNN ratings are in the trash. Why? Just last week it was reported by Forbes that CNN drops twenty six percent in prime time as Fox NEWS dominates April cable ratings. Since last year, the same month, CNN has seen a massive decline in view, worship and it keeps happening there. Viewers keeps going down as this happens, they become desperate. They.
Ash about and grasp at whatever they can. Not only do they need spicy stories trying at those views, but it's really great when the other companies like at the views get removed because on what else do you have CNN? Unfortunately,
I doubt that would work. I must say that the sole reason are doing it or even their direct motivation, but it Sir
it is convenient that CNN repeatedly tries to get people banned at the same time their ratings are going down. But, yes, let me reiterate Oliver.
Dorothy said, the only reason they got banned was because media outlets had to point it out for weeks. He said on tv. It was due to
media pressure Oliver Darcy even played up the banning of fair com to make it seem like it wasn't specifically targeting conservatives, but, as many people have pointed out, they probably only band Farrakhan so that they wouldn't be accused of bias as if people would fall for that, because many media outlets called Ferrok Shahn far right, which we know isn't true. Why is it that Oliver Darcy can say on tv and on Twitter? It was media pressure that got them banned, but then uncritically
parent the statement from Facebook about how they always do this. They clearly don't whatever their motivation really is, whatever the reason is they're doing it. Maybe they're just left wing activists, maybe they do have an agenda. The point is, the groundwork is being laid to eliminate all conservatives from social media and from the public debate. Don't take my word for it. Take a look at these store.
From the New York Times and twenty sixteen emerging republican platform goes far to the right from just about a week later, the most
stream republican platform in memory, this story from the exact same time, the republican platform is extremist, and so is anyone whose
and those are just a few examples I quickly pulled up, but if
First, now we're seeing people be labelled far right. This is the next step. They call Trump support as our publicans extremist and there you go, unfortunately, for them
The data doesnt support. This pew research, for instance, published this graph it. We can clearly see that, yes, there
Publican median has shifted to the right, but look at the gap in the Democrats. The Democrats have shifted so far left. If any group is extreme, it is the Democrats
at the Republicans, there's more than one graph that I have to show this phenomenon. I've showed these things
over and over again this from quartz, it's from vote view, and we can see that yes, republican median has shifted to the right a little bit. It still within point four point six on this graph, but look at the Democrats. They shot so far left in the past. Two years, how was the rhetoric shifting to everyone being
alright, won't simple. These people are looking over here and seeing them as far right when, in fact, Republicans have mostly stayed in the same spot. The Democrats, almost all of them, have shifted dramatically to the left report.
Begins only slightly. The question then arises: should conservatives be allowed to own funds
why should any conservative be allowed to spread their ideas over a phone, a phone as a private platform? Why can't the phone company remove you? Should a conservative be allowed to use cars drive on roads, go to stores? Where does it stop? People should be allowed to participate in public and why
We see the Democrats dropping the far left. We also see stories like this, where our rapporteur calls on God to take trumps life. Not only that, but we see Lord Ingram.
A casket as well as Tom, you ll, run the fringe left regularly engages in violence. They shot places, they basket
over the head, they throw mortar shells, etc. You ve seen it: why aren't they being banned? Why are many of these accounts? Still active? Many people say: oh, but Anti far is a disparate group of people. You, you know you can't put pinpoint them. Some of them have brands. Now some of them have been banned for sure, but for the most part they kind of get away with it. Why politics have Watson, he's denounced violence repeatedly? How is he an extremist? He may be
stupid. You could argue that I'm not personally, so that the point in trying to make us if someone goes on line and says something that is wrong. Why should they be banned for that? Should people who are dumb not be allowed to use the internet? Should people who are mentally ill not
loud to use the internet simply because someone says things that are incorrect doesn't make them an extremist. Is that the peace
vision of CNN that only the smart people should be allowed to share their thoughts. That is
premium, when will CNN get banned, they probably what because action is meant to protect facebooks bottom line from bad pr, which is generated by companies like CNN. They lie and they smear, and they do it. In my opinion, for money and political power
