TWITTER ADMITS SHADOWBANNING LISA PAGE TWEET BY FEDERALIST CO-FOUNDER “TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE”

Twitter Admits Shadowbanning Lisa Page Tweet By Federalist Co-Founder "To Keep People Safe"

Sorry citizen, some facts are just too dangerous for your own good

Zero Hedge – MARCH 19, 2019

Twitter has admitted to shadowbanning a tweet by The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis in order to “keep people safe.” 

Tweeting a passage last week from former FBI attorney Lisa Page’s Congressional testimony discussing the FBI’s rush to find connections between the Trump campaign and Russia, Davis pointed out the irony of Hillary Clinton’s campaign employing former UK spy Christopher Steele, a foreign national, “working with Russians to obtain damaging information about Donald Trump.”

Of note, the dossier Steele compiled which was subsequently used to obtain a warrant to spy on a Trump adviser (and later smear Trump) relied on a “senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin,” according to Vanity Fair.

Following his March 12 tweet, Davis wondered if Twitter was experimenting with “shadow bans” – as he could only see his tweet if he was logged in, meaning nobody else could see it.

Six days later, Twitter confirmed with Davis that they had deliberately shadow-banned his tweet in order to “keep people safe.”

“Twitter gave me no notice or explanation when it shadowbanned one of my Tweets about Russian interference in our elections,” wrote Davis, adding “But what’s worse is how Twitter apparently gives its users the fraudulent impression that their tweets, which Twitter secretly bans, are still public.”

In short, Twitter did not want the public to consider the irony of Hillary Clinton’s campaign paying for a foreign national to collude with Russians against Donald Trump, while the FBI scrambled to prove the Trump campaign did.

Unreal.

CNN Receives ‘First Amendment Award’ After Working to Silence Infowars

Tucker Carlson slams network celebrating censorship

Friday, March 15, 2019

The hypocrisy of CNN chief Jeff Zucker being bestowed with a trophy for ‘protecting’ free speech after his network aggressively lobbied for the deplatforming of Alex Jones and Infowars was not lost on Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Carlson blasted the spectacle of Zucker’s prizewinning at the Radio Television Digital News Foundation’s First Amendment Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.

“Whatever you think of Jeff Zucker, he is not encumbered by shame,” Carlson said. “Keep in mind that it was his network, CNN, that argued in public that Fox News should not be allowed to ask any questions of the candidates in the Democratic primary debates — that just happened.”

“It was also CNN that demanded radio show host Alex Jones be silenced because Jeff Zucker didn’t like what he was saying.”

“CNN waged a long campaign against Jones; it worked. Jeff Zucker silenced and deplatformed his show,” Carlson continued. “It was a stunning defeat for free speech. So naturally, Jeff Zucker just won the First Amendment award.”

Deadline Hollywood described the awards dinner as a “Trump-trashing” bonanza, with mainstream media operatives accusing President Trump of endangering the lives of the press.

Zucker said the President’s administration “quite literally… put our lives at risk with their words and their actions,” and also, “does not tolerate a free and independent press.”

CNN contributor Carl Bernstein introduced Zucker, saying, “We’re here tonight at a deadly serious moment even as we celebrate.”

“I don’t know of a moment that’s more perilous for the country, for reporting, for the truth and for the First Amendment.”

Interestingly, Fox News anchor Shep Smith, who is regarded by many as one of the most left-leaning personalities on the network, was also granted an award, while Carlson’s show was reportedly not even nominated.

Smith was congratulated by Zucker, who said he “greatly” admires the Fox host.

Soros/Media Matters Manifesto to Destroy the Right Is Alarmingly Successful

By

S.Noble

CAP

The memo/manifesto, “Democracy Matters: Strategic Plan for Action,” outlines Brock’s four-year agenda to attack Trump and Republicans using Media Matters, American Bridge, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and Shareblue, each with their own strategy and attack plan.

Created by Brock, the document was given out at a private meeting with deep-pocketed liberals/leftists in January. The meeting was led by David Brock, founder of Media Matters and a close ally of George Soros who also provides much of his funding.

On the surface, it’s a plan to influence the media and the public over the next four years but, at its core, it is a plan to manipulate and control the populace.

The nuanced document claims the moral high-ground and insists they have the “moral responsibility” to fight the right-wing.

The talk of impeachment is Media Matters idea; controlling Google and Facebook is their idea; delegitimizing Trump’s presidency and Republicans – their idea; partnering with Facebook and Google to fight so-called “fake news” – theirs.

Everything they outlined is taking place.

Media Matters will expand to do the following

For the next four years, Media Matters will, according to the document, fight right-wing “misinformation” and “propaganda”; “Google and Facebook” will not “enrich fake news sites and propagandists” [they will punish the sites if they don’t cooperate]; “alt-right social media harassment campaigns…will be punished and halted.

They are in fact going after everything right-wing.

They have a goal of promoting good journalism but it is based on their view that the right-wing is extreme and the mainstream news is journalism.

Their issues include correcting “misinformation” on left-wing issues of LGBT, workers’ rights, treatment of immigrants (illegal), gun control, gender equality, reproductive health (abortion on demand), climate and energy and economic policy [tax, spend, regulate]. If you look at their Progressive agenda, which includes identity politics, and compare it to that of the Communist Party USA, you will find them comparable.

They have the raw data of social media

Gateway Pundit has been analyzing it and pulled out the following paragraph indicating they have the raw data from social media sites.

“Media Matters has already secured access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. We have also put in place the technology necessary to automatically mine white nationalist message boards and alt-right communities for our archive.

See the source image

We will now develop technologies and processes to systematically monitor and analyze this unfiltered data.”

With the raw data, they can control every facet of social media and, as a result, the minds of readers.

For example, on p. 43, they wrote they were building an algorithm at the time of printing that is “specifically designed to amplify negative content for Trump and deliver positive content to bolster the resistance. Further, by pulling the most widely shared progressive content from the top 1,000 social media accounts, Shareblue’s algorithm will not only aggregate, but drive news and opinion.” [Shareblue is their left-wing answer to Breitbart].

Also, Media Matters has mapped the right-wing  “fake news” sites, prioritized them, and has helped Google tailor their policies for advertising to shut these sites out.

They are behind the shutting down of the right on Facebook and Google by their own admission (p.12).

Having a wide reach isn’t enough, they want to recruit and train other bloggers to call out and shut down the right-wing. With the raw data and the cooperation of Google and Facebook, it won’t be hard for them to do and we already see it happening.

They also have the opposition research thanks to American Bridge. It’s American Bridge’s job to research, collect, store and disseminate their huge database of information to level the opposition.

The targets

The President of Media Matters, they admit, shut down Glenn Beck and got advertisers to pull ads from Limbaugh.

This document was printed before O’Reilly was forced off the air but The New York Times already published an article stating Media Matters spearheaded the silencing of O’Reilly by bullying his advertisers.

They say they derailed Rudy Giuliani’s cabinet nomination using their knowledge of his business connections.

They take credit for driving up the Koch brothers’ negatives. Koch’s money is “dark money” but theirs isn’t.

They are opposed to right-wing radio hosts, Fox News and now information from government agencies because of Trump. They admit they kept Murdoch from expanding.

The document explains how they obliterated Senators Richard Luger and Todd Akin.

The research

Through American Bridge, they are doing opposition research on Republicans to enable “Progressives” [they don’t say Democrats] defeat them in 2017 and 2018.

They have mapped out Donald Trump’s network of businesses and they have the largest video archive. “The campaign to stop him must be nonstop”.

Indeed it is.

On p.22, they talk about finding candidates to compete for Senate seats and Republicans are worried. Five seats will have competitors who are far-left but were also veterans or had some other impressive feature we normally see on the resume of a right-wing candidate.

They are going after every gubernatorial and legislative race.

At one point in the document, they talk about the Trump War Room (p.17, p.20-21) to keep Donald Trump unpopular.

Their wicked watchdog

Using Trump’s business empire as a target, their watchdog group CREW will keep up unrelenting pressure. Targeting all powerful special interests they oppose is on the list.

CREW takes responsibility for 40% of the fines passed out by the FEC in 2016. CREW has an army of pro bono lawyers according to the document.

Their media arm

Shareblue (P.41) is their antidote to Breitbart.

Their editorial priorities are to get Trump, tying him to Russia, and to destroy Pence.

Goals include calling out so-called signs of authoritarianism and championing those who warn us (Antifa?); nonstop coverage of the influence of Vladimir Putin and Russia on Trump and his administration; exposing Trump as weak, a thin-skinned “loser” vulnerable to goading; relentless beating the drum that he has no mandate, didn’t win the popular vote, and is the least popular president in U.S. history.

They are behind the movement to call out Trump’s alleged “conflicts of interest” and the movement to characterize the right as “subversives of the nation’s interests”.

The remainder of the goals are to highlight Trump’s supposed ties to white supremacists, track odious GOP legislation, track and comment on SCOTUS decisions, give positive coverage of Trump critics [it will be profitable], expose media journalists who “normalize Trump”.

To conclude, this is the outline of the assault from the far-left in a war for our culture and our freedoms.

In a footnote to this, several of the Wikileaks documents from Soros’s Open Society Foundation exposed their plan to control all media. Soros is known to have significant financial influence over 30 newspapers and other media outlets. Another Wikileaks email from Open Society revealed their plan to take over every government entity, from the smallest village to the presidency. They thought they were poised to do it until Trump won the presidency.

Soros, who funds Brock and Media Matters also funds Facebook’s “fake news” initiative.

WATCH: Tucker SWATS Down Soros-Funded Character Assassination Attempt in Scathing Opening Segment

“We will never bow to the mob. Ever. No matter what.”

By

A Soros-linked media group sought to launch a character assassination smear against Fox News host Tucker Carlson over the weekend, seeking to get the ratings kingpin fired from the cable news channel and ostracized from “polite” society over recordings of a few backroom jokes with some radio show hosts around a decade ago.

The old audio from a decade ago surfaced from a Media Matters operative, a progressive group funded by George Soros.

Operatives from the organization had hoped that Carlson would profusely apologize, back down, and retire from public life, thus silencing a leading critic of the progressive left’s push for total political, social and cultural control over American life.

Media Matters had been hoping for a “apology,” potentially creating a window for the progressive hate mob to flood Fox with calls for Tucker’s firing.

Instead, the Tuck fired back with a scathing takedown of the progressive mob that will leave the Soros-funded operatives with a rhetorical smackdown they won’t soon forget.

Watch here:

Tucker’s takedown of classic and time-tested leftist character assassination tactics could represent the first chink in neutralizing them as one of the most effective political tools of the progressive left.

Liberals are compelled to try and oust individuals like Tucker because he represents a threat to their political power- not because they’re genuinely morally outraged over a few jokes Tucker told a radio host ten years ago.

Tucker brought up the Covington Catholic hate hoax earlier this year- highlighting it as an example of another incident when conservative leaders were all-but prepared to let a few innocent boys be defamed by progressives.

Yet, a few fearless truth-seekers stood up, standing up to the mob and exposing a dastardly hate hoax.

The sooner conservatives, patriots and right wingers learn to simply shrug off the “deceit and enforced silence” demanded of them by progressives, the sooner the left becomes utterly powerless and doomed in the American political arena.

BUZZFEED CEO PANICS: BIG TECH HAVING ‘HUGE PROBLEM CONTROLLING CONTENT’

BuzzFeed CEO Panics: Big Tech Having 'Huge Problem Controlling Content'

Fake news peddler worried the Left losing ability to dominate cultural narrative

 | Infowars.com – MARCH 11, 2019

Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter are having a “huge problem” controlling content on their platforms, and censoring conservatives isn’t enough, claimed BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.

“Tech platforms are having a huge problem with the content on their platforms,” Peretti said Friday at SXSW. “They don’t make the content and are having trouble controlling the content.”

Peretti also said that censoring conservatives alone isn’t enough; Big Tech also needs to promote “good content,” ie particular points of view.

“We can’t just police bad content, we have to produce good content,” Peretti said.

A video presentation included in Peretti’s speech showed an image of a garbage can equated with the words “Anti-Vaxxers,” “trolls,” “political extremists,” “flat-Earthers,” “racists,” “misogynists,” and “pedophiles,” as among the issues Big Tech faces.

“They’re trying to get rid of all the bad stuff, and it’s an endless fight to get rid of all the terrible content that’s uploaded to these platforms, and they can never win this fight,” Peretti said.

“There’s a vacuum which is created by a lack of good content and it’s made it difficult for the platforms, and it’s opened up this opportunity for all these other bad actors to upload content.”

The Austin Chronicle’s Austin Sanders agreed with Peretti’s premise, saying that “it’s not just about banning Alex Jones.”

“The point illustrates the challenge facing platforms like Facebook and Twitter: It’s not just about banning Alex Jones, it’s about promoting the media companies that produce quality journalism, so more people are seeing thoroughly verified information,” Sanders wrote Friday.

BuzzFeed recently laid off 15 percent of its workforce over budget issues, which Peretti reportedly badly mishandled.
