Let’s look at some recent examples.Ken Webster is a libertarian/

conservative who hosts a talk-radio show on KPRC in Houston and promotes his program on Facebook. On July 15,

he posted an item about a local sheriff doing nothing about “criminal illegal immigrants.” Shortly thereafter, Webster tweeted that he had been “suspended from Facebook for seven days” because he used the words “illegal immigrants.”

Webster was censored for describing a factual situation.

Google is the most popular search engine in the world. Yet it labeled the Mueller Report, the official report that exonerated

President Trump of “collusion” with Russia, as “fiction” in its genre category.

That “fiction” label was not changed until The Washington Post reported on it on June 10. Google subsequently claimed that its Knowledge Graph had made an error. The same Knowledge Graph had tagged the California GOP as the “party of Nazism” in 2018. This was also an error, claimed Google.

Again in June, Project Veritas published a leaked email from Google’s Liam Hopkins, a member of Google’s “transparency and ethics group.” In the email, Hopkins described conservatives Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager — both Jewish — and Dr. Jordan Peterson as “Nazis using dog whistles.” Hopkins also suggested that YouTube (owned by

Google) consider “disabling the suggestions feature” for these conservatives, which means their videos would no longer show up in the recommendations of other videos on the platform.

Facebook has policies against violence and extremism, violations of which can lead to persons or groups being banned from its site. However, Facebook is clearly selective with this policy as the domestic terror group Antifa (and its member affiliates) has 119 pages on Facebook.

Antifa engages in threats and violence against conservatives and Trump supporters all the time. In Portland (see p. 3), libertarian photojournalist Andy Ngo was severely beaten by Antifa thugs on June 29 and suffered a brain hemorrhage. Antifa doxxed and protested outside the home of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and cracked the front door of his house. Yet the group’s Facebook page is still active.

Antifa thugs rioted in D.C. during the Trump inauguration, smashing store windows and cars. Other Antifa groups have posted items on Facebook urging people to “use a brick” to “egg a Nazi,” or stated, “Concrete milkshakes are our favorite flavor.” Antifa radicals often throw “milkshakes,” made with quick-drying cement, at conservatives. Nonetheless, this left-wing terrorist group is still allowed on Facebook.

The online scrapbooking site Pinterest is also censoring conservatives. Eric Cochran, who had worked at Pinterest for two years, wrote in Newsweek that the company engaged in “covert censorship of pro-lifers, Christians and Conservatives.” He noted in particular that the pro-life group Live Action (3.3 million members) was “blocked by Pinterest” and then its account was permanently removed.

During a company meeting about content, Pinterest employee Ifeoma Ozuma reportedly described Jewish conservative Ben Shapiro as a “white supremacist.” Project Veritas reported this on Twitter and then was temporarily suspended by the social media platform.

In early June, YouTube removed a Project Veritas video about the censorship of conservatives at Pinterest. In addition, the social media site Reddit suspended users who posted the video or linked to it.

In late June, Twitter announced a new program that flags tweets it finds politically offensive and requires users to click through a warning before they can actually see the tweet. The policy applies to “all verified political candidates and government officials with more than 100,000 followers,” but seems intentionally designed to target President Trump.

The censorship by Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and other Internet sites, puts everything conservatives have fought for at risk. The Internet is truly the new battleground for liberal media bias and the MRC is fighting against this bias every day.

Conservative Leaders Call on Facebook to Stand Up To Antifa’s Outrageous Violence

AUGUST 2019 3

The radical, left-wing domestic terrorist group Antifa (“anti-fascist”) has been attacking conservatives and Trump supporters since 2017, employing violence and brutality to destroy property and injure people. In a June 29 attack in Portland, Ore., online photojournalist Andrew Ngo was beaten up by Antifa terrorists — dressed all in black and wearing masks — and suffered a brain hemorrhage and a torn ear lobe.

Despite Antifa’s use of violence and incitement of violence, Facebook allows the terrorist group to use its social media platform to organize and communicate while it censors and de-platforms conservative groups.

In response to this tacit support for domestic terrorism, MRC President Brent Bozell and other conservative leaders, on July 3, called on Facebook to enforce its policy against violent groups equally. Below are some of their statements.

“The Department of Homeland Security has classified Antifa’s activities as ‘domestic terrorist violence.’ … [Facebook’s] community standards certainly condemn violence and they claim to have ‘always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology.’ And yet no action has been taken to de-platform this domestic terrorist organization. In allowing Antifa to retain its accounts, Facebook is enabling these extremists to commit more violent acts and further spread their hateful message. Facebook must enforce its policies equally. This is not a partisan issue. There should be no place for violent extremists of any kind on Facebook. Period.” — MRC President Brent Bozell

“The case of Andy Ngo clearly demonstrates the lack of appreciation that the left and Antifa thugs have for our Constitution and our 1st Amendment rights. … Americans should wake up to the threat to our 1st Amendment liberties coming from everyone from Facebook de-platforming conservatives to violence against mainstream conservatives.” — Tea Party Patriots President Jenny Beth Martin

“The attack on journalist Andy Ngo is not fake news, is not merely words that people claim is hurtful, but is a serious and violent crime. Facebook needs to explain why it moves to de-platform and stifle the voices of peaceful conservatives while allowing its platform to be used by radical leftist fascists like Rose City Antifa to organize events that routinely result in violent assaults against innocent bystanders.” — Heartland Institute Interim President Jim Lakely

“By continuing to allow Antifa-related groups to spew hate on its platform, Facebook executives and its board of directors are now tacitly encouraging violence against conservatives. Facebook’s opposition to my proposal seeking ideological balance on the company’s board is proof positive that it has no interest in hearing from conservatives.” — Justin Danhof, general counsel, National Center for Public Policy Research

“As a former journalist myself, there’s no excuse whatsoever for my former profession not exposing Antifa for what it is, a terrorist communistic controlled anti-American hate group. I’m disgusted with my former profession’s lack of objective reporting. Sad.” — 60 Plus Association Chairman Jim Martin

“The hypocrisy of Facebook is stunning. It shamelessly censors conservative opinions while allowing Antifa, which routinely assaults journalists, to operate freely. The FBI has classified Antifa as ‘domestic terrorists.’ Big Tech must be held accountable for its abuse of free speech.” — American Values President Gary Bauer

“Facebook’s refusal to remove Antifa and these leftist hate-filled groups from their platform, shows their support of these groups and their actions. Facebook has blood on their hands and should be held accountable.” — Women for Trump Co-Chair Amy Kremer

“Antifa has no business operating and organizing their riots and violence on Facebook and other social media platforms. …Freedom of speech is vital, and Facebook should never ban organizations and people simply for being controversial. They should ban them for engaging in acts of domestic terror.” — ACT for America President Brigitte Gabriel

Bits & Pieces

No Free Speech!Proving that many liberal media do not believe in free speech when it comes to abortion,

The Guardian slammed the idea that Canadians could see the pro-life film Unplanned based on “freedom of expression laws.” Leftists had tried to ban the film in Canada but distributor Cineplex decided to screen the wildly successful U.S. movie. The Guardian, quoting the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC), complained that this decision was “based on money, not freedom of speech,” and was “publicly legitimizing anti-choice views.”

The Guardian fretted that “anti-abortion sentiment is growing in Canada” and quoted Variety, which derided Unplanned as an “alarmist horror movie.” The news outlet also hysterically claimed the movie could incite hatred and violence against Canadian abortion providers, and quoted the ARCC as warning, “I know the clinics and sexual health centres in Canada are pretty worried about the movie. Basically they’re bracing for a wave of hate.”

MRC Poll As social media giants such

as Facebook continue to censor conservative ideas and voices on their platforms, it’s no surprise that conservative Americans are more critical of these companies. A new MRC poll of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by McLaughlin and Associates in June, showed that 76% of conservatives do not trust Facebook “to treat all of its users equally, regardless of their

of conservatives do not trust Facebook, “to treat all

of its users equally regardless of political beliefs”

Extremists? Predictably, when President Donald Trump held a social media

summit at the White House on July 11 with conservatives concerned about censorship on the Internet, the leftist media tarred the assembly as a gathering of “extremists” and right-wing “yahoos.” CNN Business ran the headline, “Trump Invites Right-Wing Extremists to White House,” and claimed the event was for “legitimizing fringe political allies.” The Washington Post gleefully quoted Democrat Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. who blasted Trump for “inviting known extremists and conspiracy theory peddlers to the White House.”

NBC News wrote how “Trump touts the ‘power’ of extremist social media activists at White House summit,” and implied that censorship of conservatives on social media is a myth. Not to be outdone, The Hill quoted leftist Jessica Gonzalez smearing the summit as “a propaganda tool to pressure social media companies to allow hate, racism, xenophobia and religious bigotry, homophobia, to run wild.” That seems fair and balanced.

76%

political beliefs.” In addition, 63% of all the people polled, not just people on the right, do not trust Facebook “to treat all of its users equally.”

Google did not fare well with conservative opinion either: 62% of conservatives did not trust the search engine platform to treat users equally. As for YouTube, 60% of conservatives polled did not trust the site to treat its users equally; 63% said the same for Twitter. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.

President Trump’s summit with conservatives about social media censorship was smeared by the liberal press as extremist, fringe, and bigoted.

Shh!If a right-wing radical tried to burn

down a government building and was shot and killed by police, it would be headline news at the liberal media outlets. But when a left-wing Antifa member did precisely that, CBS and NBC said nothing and ABC gave it 17 seconds of coverage. They buried the story. On July 13, leftist radical Wil-lem Van Spronsen tried to burn down an ICE detention center for illegal im-migrants in Tacoma, Washington, us-ing an incendiary device. While trying to commit this crime, Van Spronsen was shot and killed by police officers.

Twenty-four hours later, NBC and CBS had yet to report on the event on either their morning or evening news broadcasts. Over at ABC, the only mention of the incident was buried in the middle of a larger story on July 14 about ICE raids, and it failed to include anything about Van Spronsen’s motive or his affiliation with Antifa.

Bury It! Wall Street experienced another record-setting day on July 11, as the

Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 27,000 for the first time ever. But you would know little about that new record if you watched the three broadcast evening news shows that night, and nothing at all if you watched NBC Nightly News. Anchor Lester Holt offered zero coverage about the market record on Nightly News. However, NBC did prioritize coverage of an alligator discovered swimming in a Chicago lagoon. It hyped the “rock star reptile” and Chicago’s “alligator mania” with over a minute in coverage.

ABC World News Tonight and CBS Evening News covered the record — barely. ABC anchor David Muir spared just 14 seconds to talk about it, while CBS national correspondent Jim Axelrod’s Dow brief on the Evening News lasted a measly 12 seconds. Even combined, that wasn’t half of a minute.

Although a left-wing Antifa member tried to burn down a government building and was shot by police, CBS and NBC completely ignored the story.

Great-Great BSIn a desperate effort to smear Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

(R-Ky.) for his opposition to reparations for slavery, NBC News traced his family history and reported that two of his great-great grandfathers had owned 14 slaves during the early 1800s. In addition to the news report, both NBC and MSNBC tweeted on July 9, “Senate Majority Leader McConnell, who said recently he opposes paying government reparations to descendants of American slaves, has family history deeply entwined in the issue: 2 of his great-great grandfathers were slave owners, U.S. census records show.”

When asked by a reporter about his great-great grandfathers and whether it would sway his position on reparations, McConnell rationally replied, “I find myself once again in the same position as President [Barack] Obama. We both oppose reparations and we both are the descendants of slave owners.”

The ancestors of Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) also apparently owned slaves but NBC — no surprise — is not pursuing that story.

“The liberal media say I’m much more impressive President Trump and the highest Dow Jones Industrial Average EVER recorded.”

n CNN’s April Ryan whines that Trump’s July 4 celebration is “about bolstering himself up, looking like a dictator from another nation or a time that’s forgot.” n MSNBC’s Joy Reid absurdly claims that Trump is practicing

“deliberate cruelty to children with this hideous system” of “concentration camps … in order to scare brown people out of coming here.” n Rolling Stone’s Jamil Smith agrees, charging, “What we have right now is torture. What we have now is, essentially what you stated before, a Guantanamo Bay for children.” n NBC’s Chuck Todd jumps the shark on immigrant children, “It’s like they’re being held hostage.” n Citing no evidence, as usual, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski declares, “The truth’s already out: it’s come out of Trump’s mouth. He is corrupt.” n The Washington Post’s Margaret Sullivan laughably asserts, “I have not heard journalists talking” about impeachment, “I don’t think that journalists even really think that way.” n Max Boot, a Post columnist, dutifully replies, “I would say it’s not the media that’s pushing for impeachment. It’s reality that’s pushing for impeachment.” n CNN’s April Ryan slams Sarah Sanders: “You could not trust her. She suffers from liabetes.” n In the New York Times, Thomas Rogers writes that Communist East Germany “still arouses nostalgia among some former citizens who fondly remember its gender egalitarianism and social safety net or admire its utopian aspirations.”

MINIBITS

Journalists don’t think about impeaching president Trump? She’s got to be joking.

L. BRENT BOZELL III AND TIM GRAHAM JULY 16, 2019 • Nationally Syndicated Column

Skipping the Philly Fanatics at Netroots NationCNN sent reporter Miguel

Marquez, but he repeated their spin like a publicist: “Progressives here at Netroots Nation believe they can beat President Trump no matter who is nominated.” He touted the attendance estimates: “Along with 3,600 activists expect to descend upon the annual conference, the largest ever, according to organizers. Progressive momentum picking up steam.”

Following up, CNN host Erin Burnett offered one skeptical note about the event to Waleed Shahid of the fringy Justice Democrats. While Marquez touted progressive “enthusiasm,” she cautioned that “you can harness that and win a primary. You can’t win a general election with just support from liberals. When you see candidates moving further left to capture that support and win that over, do you see a risk in that?” Shahid said no, that Hillary lost because the left wing wasn’t enthusiastic enough.

Electing Donald Trump was a “moral 9-11,” said the left, but their voters couldn’t turn out?

Only The Washington Post found a controversial statement from the confab, as they led off a story inside the July 14 paper: “An all-out racially charged fight within the House Democratic Caucus escalated Saturday when an African American freshman lawmaker said the party doesn’t need ‘any more black voices that don’t want to be a black voice.’”

The radical fringe of the Left came to Philadelphia last weekend to the annual “Netroots Nation” conference. It was extremist enough that only four Democrat presidential contenders dared to show their face there. By contrast, ten came to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention in April.

Here’s how kooky it was. They created compassionate confusion with “All Gender Restrooms” for attendees. At one point, abortion advocates carved up a watermelon to illustrate how they would remove “pregnancy tissue.” Somehow, they described extracting “a wee little watermelon fetus.”

If ever there were an event that was ripe for parody, this was it. Yet you didn’t hear any negative coverage of this event from the broadcast networks. ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS ignored it, while others worked to make these watermelon-aborting fanatics look as normal as they could.

On taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio, reporter Asma Khalid offered two gentle reports on how the “progressives” weren’t pleased at the low turnout of presidential candidates. A MoveOn organizer trashed Joe Biden as too moderate: “Why is he so popular? I have no idea. He’s like a corporate Democrat from Delaware, which is, like, the corporate headquarters of everything.”

That was Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and she also said, “We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice.” The Post didn’t provide the full quote – minorities aren’t authentic unless they’re full-throated leftists.

This underlined why the networks would skip over this event. They’re not really interested in playing up left-versus-far-left tensions inside the Democratic Party. That’s not “helpful.” They also don’t want to underline the Democrats completely disqualifying themselves on illegal immigration and other issues.

Instead, when President Trump uncorked some hot-take weekend tweets about how progressive Democrat congresswomen hate America, that was a four-alarm fire of a story. Even then, there was no time for context about what Pressley & Co. were saying that would spur this response. The only narrative they cared to push was how the president was “racist.”

This is how the 2020 campaign is going to unfold. Donald Trump’s statements will be subject to withering attacks hourly – He’s hateful! He’s corrupt! He’s inept! Meanwhile, the Democrats and their “Nutroots” base will be carefully curated to look as reasonable and ready to govern as you could possibly imagine.

That’s because Patriot Fund provides a steady and constant flow of donations that the MRC can depend on. It also keeps the MRC more efficient by saving money on fundraising and freeing up resources.
