Liberal Media Suggests Biden Should Take Aggressive Approach To Censoring Conservative Media
By: MARY MARGARET OLOHAN SOCIAL ISSUES REPORTER
The secular progressive left want a monopoly on the media again and want to use the government to aid and augment Silicon Valley in the censorship of the alternative media. They want their left bias sites favored in interviews and exposure while making a nationwide MBFC like organization in order to stifle and suppress the reach and popularity of conservative media outlets.

- Liberal media figures and outlets are suggesting that Joe Biden should take an aggressive approach to conservative media when he becomes president of the United States.
- CNN’s Brian Stelter sparked a backlash for compiling a list of conservative media that he claimed is spreading “disinformation” on the election.
- “Call Fox what it is: an extension of the Republican Party,” writes Crooked Media Founder Tommy Vietor. “Say it often. Repetitive messaging works—just ask Lyin’ Ted and Low-Energy Jeb. Reject the absurd insistence that the network has a ‘real news’ division.”
Liberal media figures and outlets are suggesting that Joe Biden should take an aggressive approach to conservative media when he becomes president of the United States.
“There is no question that Democrats are gearing up to use their new power to apply far more pressure than ever on Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. to censor any views they deem ‘threatening,'” journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted Monday, referencing comments made by former President Barack Obama about controlling the internet with “a combination of government regulations and corporate practices.”
“Please look at what is going here,” Greenwald continued. “Democrats are defining whoever opposes them not as adversaries but as national security threats, fascist terrorists, etc. — all to justify blocking them from the internet using their influence with Silicon Valley.”
The Intercept co-founder added that CNN, NBC, and The Atlantic are the outlets that are “most loudly” demanding that “disinformation” be suppressed, though these outlets are “the ones who not only sold the bullshit of the Iraq War but also the last 4 years of deranged Russia-took-over! conspiratorial insanity.”
“They want their discourse monopoly back,” Greenwald said.
His comments come the same day that Crooked Media Founder Tommy Vietor published a piece explaining “Why Joe Biden Must Sideline Fox.” Vietor lamented that Fox News is treated as a “legitimate news organization” and says that Biden’s team should “Approach Fox News with eyes, not arms, wide open.”
“Call Fox what it is: an extension of the Republican Party,” Vietor wrote. “Say it often. Repetitive messaging works—just ask Lyin’ Ted and Low-Energy Jeb. Reject the absurd insistence that the network has a ‘real news’ division.”
The Crooked Media Founder argued that Biden’s team should give his own publication, and other outlets like The Nation, “scoops and access” to help grow their audiences and “influence the way Trump’s team has nurtured fringe rags like Newsmax and OAN.”
“Biden’s team needs to fight harder on Facebook than it does in the White House briefing room,” he added.
Over the weekend, CNN’s Brian Stelter sparked a backlash for compiling a list of conservative media that he claimed is spreading “disinformation” on the election.
“There is an entire constellation of websites and talk shows that are in denial just like Trump,” Stelter said, showing a list of conservative media outlets that included Fox News, the Daily Caller, Newsmax, OAN, and more. “They are supplying disinformation about the election results, and wherever there’s a huge supply, there is a high demand.”
And in an interview with the New York Times, journalist Matthew Sheffield, who helped create several conservative websites, alleged that “the end justifies the means,” to conservatives.
“Almost all right-wing support in the United States comes from a view that Christians are under attack by secular liberals,” Sheffield said. “This point is so important and so little understood. Logic doesn’t matter. Fact-checking doesn’t matter. What matters is if I can use this information to show that liberals are evil. Many of them are not interested in reporting the world as it is, but rather to shape the world like they want it to be.”

when antifa attacks. all it takes is one shattered kneecap and they start minding their own business.
Well more states and cities need to copy the governor of Floridas suggested response for citizens to react to looting and rioting.
No private platform can be forced to support fake news or harmful anti-American propaganda. It is the duty of all site's management to exercise all appropriate controls over the content that is shared on their sites...
The far right wants to force their BS onto all of us!
Ah! Well said, tovarisch! We must all remember our duty to the state and the party.
Exactly!

No the far left Maoists want to punish opposing viewpoints. Everything the left accused Trump of doing is actually what the Left does. We're not going to be victims of their Cultural Revolution. Thankfully their commie rhetoric rings loud and clear that's why we will never give up our guns because the only way we can protect our other constitutional rights is with the ability to fight to keep them.
"Disinformation." There's a term that can be used and abused. It sounds so ominous - like espionage during time of war. Like treason as part of some secret coup.
And the real beauty of it is that you can apply it to anything. No proof needed. It will be the new "racist" - an accusation to galvanize citizens, media, and government into action to silence the opposition. How long will we have to wait for the fresh new anti-disinformation legislation or executive orders that will save America?
Every opinion and idea in contrast to or opposition to secular progressive left dogma is disinformation according to them.

In one incident, McAlister allegedly kicked an unconscious man who had been knocked out by 39-year-old Kenneth Wayne Deberry. Deberry was one of four people the city's Metropolitan Police Department arrested for disorderly conduct.
McAlister has yet to be arrested, according to a recent press release from the department.
President Trump later retweeted the video.
In another clip, McAlister appears to be running up and punching a woman in the back of the head. She then runs in the opposite direction....
