Big Tech’s Dangerous Censorship Got a LOT Worse This Week

One problem. Two stories.

There is out there in the media world and today’s mania for podcasts something called The Podcast Movement, which identifies itself as “The World’s Largest Community of Podcasters.” 

The Podcasters have a conference with thousands of podcasters in Dallas, Texas, as this article is being written. Then — are you buckled in — a devastating event occurred.

Conservative Ben Shapiro. The Daily Wire and his own podcast had the audacity – the audacity! – To show up at the conference. You can smell the salts. This is the tweet from which this was made – no it’s not satire. The Babylon Bee but the real thing. 

 

 

The tweet was then followed by a second one that said, “No kidding!” 

 

 

This insane act was immediately ridiculed.

This was then from Ben Shapiro, the notorious comedian. 

 

 

Now let’s move on to media story number two, as discussed by Catherine Salgado here on NewsBusters. She said: 

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (Facebook), said the silent part loudly. Joe Rogan, the renowned podcast host, said that Facebook had blocked the Hunter Biden laptop scam after an FBI general request.

Zuckerberg went on Rogan’s podcast Aug. 25, and Rogan asked him about how Facebook deals with supposed “misinformation,” specifically highlighting the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Big Tech had the Biden scandal censored just before 2020, which was revealed by the Media Research Center as a way for Big Media to steal President Joe Biden’s 2020 election. Zuckerberg freely admitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI), pressure on his platform to restrict content.

This is Fox News’ headline: 

FBI blasted after Zuckerberg revealed their warning ahead of the Hunter Biden laptop story: ‘Collusion’

Twitter was sparked by Mark Zuckerberg’s revelation that Facebook had blocked references to Hunter Biden’s laptop, after being tip-offed off the FBI.

This is what the Fox story said: 

Speaking on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Zuckerberg explained, “The FBI, I think, basically came to us – some folks on our team – and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert…  We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. The FBI has been notified that there is about to be an equivalent dump. So just be vigilant.’”

Zuckerberg acknowledged that ‘the distribution on Facebook was decreased’ of the New York Post’s story about Hunter Biden’s laptop, noting, ‘fewer people saw it than would’ve otherwise.’”

We have now a mix of these two stories.

Here we see two different versions of the exact same story, media censorship. The Podcasters Movement is an example of media censorship that has a strong anti-Semitic flavor. On the one hand, the Podcasters Movement is about…podcasts and podcasters. Over there at Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary a “podcast” is defined as follows: 

An electronic program, such as music or talk, that can be downloaded automatically over the Internet.

That’s it? A podcast is a “program (as of music or talk).” Which is to say, one listens to a podcast to get information or entertainment No matter what.

It is clear that the Podcast Movement is ashamed of Ben Shapiro who founded the Podcast Movement. Daily Wire, which the Podcast Movement itself identifies as having a “large presence in podcasting” had the chops to show up….. in person! The humanity! The moment he revealed his face, he should have been banned. Daily WireNo participation was granted to anyone who has a large presence on podcasts, or none.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has now admitted to Joe Rogan, podcaster, that in reality, the FBI presented itself in 2020 to Facebook employees to warn them against the Hunter Biden laptop tale because it might be Russian disinformation. Right.

The same problem lies at the root of these two stories. Censorship. Left-wing elites are determined to block the free flow and dissemination of information. In this instance, it is the Podcast Movement’s left-wing elites and FBI/Facebook. This could involve Ben Shapiro being targeted, or the FBI and Facebook. Each case is the same.

That is a problem in a country that values free speech and uses the media to educate and inform Americans.

To update the old 1960s astronaut lingo, “America, we have a problem.” 

A big one.
