The Washinton Post — it’s where journalistic integrity dies in darkness, evidently.
They’re so completely in the tank for the Left that they’re not even conscious of their biases. But ever so often, the mask slips and they have to rush to put it back on.
Like when they covered the story about Facebook censoring certain public figures. Legacy media has been working so very hard to aid and abet Silicon Valley’s censorship that they don’t even stop to ask the question ‘why’?
It’s far easier to denounce everyone getting steamrolled as ‘the enemy’ and let them get carried out of the public square — so their ideas won’t face any scrutiny.
They give the whole game away when they get busted for pushing the elastic definitions of that ‘convenient enemy’ too far.
The Washington Post and the Atlantic are obviously working from the same echo chamber, or (worse yet) reading the same talking points.
With Facebook doing another purge, they were very quick to lump them all together. Can you spot the problem?

The Atlantic has also labeled Louis Farrakhan as "far-right"

WaPo corrected their headlines within the hour to use the more ‘generic’ word ‘extremist’… which is every bit as pejorative.
That is particularly true because the same people who declare they can invariably spot hate also label anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan "far right" (WaPo and The Atlantic), and suggest that mainstream conservatives are in fact alt-right (The Economist).

If you actually believe Farrakhan has ANYTHING to do with the Right, you haven’t been paying attention. But they WANT the too-busy-to-pay-much-attention crowd to lump him in with the Right because Farrakhan, unlike the other names here, actually has documented antisemitic statements, and even left-wing ‘fact-checkers’ at Snopes have had to acknowledge Farrakhan has made public calls for violence.
FACT CHECK: Did Louis Farrakhan say that “if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us”?
Claim: Louis Farrakhan said that “if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us.”

Calls to violence put him in a very different category than anybody else they have purged.
Farrakhan was just rolled into the same purge because he was the face of Facistbook’s hypocrisy that everyone pointed out when it was Alex Jones’s turn to be purged.
When Clashdaily and other Conservative news sites were taken down in the ‘great purge’ last year, we all noticed that Farrakhan got a pass. Probably because he had so very many friends in the Democrat Party — including that one photo with the Congressional Black Caucus. And he opposed Trump’s presidency.

Just how ‘hateful’ is Prison Planet? He cares more about the personal well-being of one of the targeted personalities than Facebook does:
Laura Loomer is now basically making thinly veiled suicide threats because of the way she has been treated. And many on here will laugh. Yet we're the "hateful" ones. OK.
I hope Laura is going to be fine, her friends should check on her.

Russians buy a few Facebook ads.
Leftists: This is horrendous! This is election meddling! Democracy is at stake!
Facebook bans most of the people who helped get Trump elected.
Leftists (and boomers): Hur dur muh private company can do what it likes.

Here’s the big picture perspective:
The fight against social media censorship needs to be a priority for EVERY conservative right now.
Most people get their news online, meaning these companies control what the electorate does/does not see.
How can conservatives win elections when we can’t even share our ideas? https://t.co/MfwkIubrV0

The same could be said for Antifa — which has a well-document history of violence and property destruction.
But let some guy online advocate smaller government, and the right to challenge ideas and behavior of anyone irrespective of sex, color, or creed and that is somehow ‘dangerous’.
What good does our First Amendment do us if the public square where it makes the biggest difference — online interaction — is only open to people whose ideas meet with the full approval of the censors in Silicon Valley? (It’s a plan they’ve been pretty up-front about: Leftists Want A ‘New Civil War’ – This Post Is Disturbing)
You know, the same people ‘playing ball’ with censorship rules in places like China and Pakistan?
They’re NOT ‘just a platform’. They are exerting editorial control over their content and that puts them in a very different legal category… a category that opens them up to liability over their content.
