Trump Goes After Social Media Giants For Silencing Conservatives – Promises Them Problems

Why do the Left hate Trump’s Twitter account? They lose control of ‘the narrative’ because nobody can muzzle or shade his opinions.

That’s why they hate the conservative presence in Social media generally. Our voices are being aggressively opposed, partly because we had gotten too good at using them to get our message out there, where ‘the gatekeepers’ could not hand-pick which news stories that nation would and would not be discussing.

They could no longer control which issues are the ones discussed around the water cooler.

Uncomfortable facts, and the embarrassing pasts, or connections between shady characters could no longer be swept under the rug.

Team Obama — and Hillary — had friends among the highest strata of Silicon Valley willing to help them leverage social media to their own political advantage.

And then along comes Trump who beats them all at ‘their own’ social media game.

How did they react to that? The President sums it up in a couple of tweets:

Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others…….

…..Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all..

….Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!

Infowars was the most famous one to go dark across multiple platforms, but conservative comic Gavin McInnes was also shut down, among others.

Twitter pledged not to censor Inforwars, as they had not violated any terms of service, but they did suspend them briefly after complaints.

Keep in mind — since the world has gone digital, the face of news is changing. Local desks and papers are going the way of the dinosaur. In the last decade alone, PEW Research reports that 25% of the traditional press have been laid off.

What does that mean? More reliance on official press releases and services like AP, where everyone speaks with essentially one voice and perspective.

If you think the Woodward and Bernstein method of looking under every rock until the story gets found is good for a free society to serve as a check against nearly unlimited political power of government agents, then you would want MORE citizen journalists, not fewer.

If, on the other hand, you just want to monopolize the narrative for power and/or profit, you will want to be the only game in town.

And who has been aggressively SEEKING that voices on the right be censored? A staff member from none other than those ‘stalwart defenders of the First Amendment’ CNN.

Here are a few of his tweets about Infowars.

FWIW, you initially said that you were allowing InfoWars/Alex Jones on Twitter because they hadn't violated any rules. That was false. Twitter has since conceded multiple rule violations, one as recently as this week. Now only action Twitter has taken is giving Jones a "timeout." https://t.co/qq08OtNNPd

Also @jack, maybe you could explain why @delbius said in her note that the content that led YouTube/FB to taking action against InfoWars was not on Twitter, when in fact all the videos that led those companies to initially taking action were in fact also on Twitter.

The New York Times reports Twitter employees have “heaped ire” on @jack for failing to take action against Alex Jones and InfoWars https://t.co/i8d8T4LY2r

And it went further than that. This ‘impartial’ news agency was harrassing advertisers, too.

Who were they trying to silence? Were they impartial, or were they trying to silence a voice that was critical of them? It’s not like they had any scores to settle, or anything, did they?

Watch: The Best Of The Great CNN Meme War

Here’s one CNN critic’s very astute observation of what’s going on here:

Of course, why would we POSSIBLY need a different narrative than what the Media (D)’s Cable News Clique would tell us? The fanboys/fangirls of Mueller demanding the names and address of the JURY in the Manafort case can be entirely trusted — right?

Could Oliver & @brianstelter be more hypocritical? @CNN joined a group to try to release the names & addresses of the Manafort jurors. CNN tried to dox them?! That they would respond this way shows how dumb they think you are or how terribly they lack integrity and credibility.

Ladies, tell everyone that you don’t like the emasculated, metro-sexual ‘feminists’ — you’d rather have a President with balls:

And gents, let everyone know that you want your President to be just as much of a man as you are:

Donald J. Trump is our 45th President. Why? Because Americans from all races and classes are sick of whining Republicans and corrupt Democrats. Finally, we have a President who isn’t afraid to say what he thinks even if it is not popular with the press. Trump is not a typical politician. Trump can’t be bought. He will back up what he says with action, no matter the cost. Finally. A president with balls!
Get yours today and trigger the leftists and the RINO NeverTrumpers.
