Fox Business Host Maria Bartiromo Leaving Twitter for Parler Over Platform's Censorship
MSN ^ | Nov 6, 2020

Posted on 11/07/2020 10:32:00 PM PST by 11th_VA

Fox Business News host Maria Bartiromo announced on Thursday evening that she was leaving Twitter and joining Parler over the former social media platform's censorship policies.

"This is the same group who abused power in 2016. I will be leaving soon and going to Parler," Bartiromo wrote in a tweet. "Please open an account on @parler right away."

Bartiromo's comments come shortly after she had multiple tweets flagged by the social media platform for being "misleading about an election or other civic processes."

On Wednesday night, she shared an article published by The Federalist that had a headline which read, "Yes, Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Election in Michigan, Wisconsin, And Pennsylvania."

The host of Fox Business network's Mornings with Maria had another tweet flagged by Twitter on Thursday morning.

"4am dump/Wisconsin 65,000 votes 100% for Biden 4am dump/Michigan 138,499 votes 100% 4Biden," she wrote in the tweet. "AZ poll workers forcing voters to use sharpies thereby invalidated ballots. Trump leading in GA, NC, PA, WI, MI & they stop counting" before the vote fairy visits overnight..."

I am certainly NOT leaving Twitter, not for all the $$ in the world!

That's because in order to leave Twitter, I'd have to join it first. And I'm not doing THAT for all the money in the world! So there.     :-)

I have a close family member who joined twitter about 3 years ago but has never posted a single tweet. That's because they only joined it in order to be able to "follow" one single person ... President Donald J Trump.

2MM people joined Parler today. Site was completely bogged down, bordering on non-functional, for many hours. Looks like they’ve beefed up their IT/servers and are up and rolling with lots of new Patriots!

Wow - it really feels like people are choosing sides .... wonder how far this would go. Is there a conservative alternative to qUber?

I found out that conservatives are also leaving GoFundMe after they banned someone trying to raise money for the election legal battles.

There’s a conservative alternative but I don’t remember the name now.

It’s funny that I only finally just joined Twitter 3 weeks ago but yes today I was one of the 2.5 million who joined Parler.

Cancelled all upcoming recordings of everything but Maria and Tucker. I would not cancel Jeannine but she left. We’ll see how Tucker goes. Maria I do not doubt. Hmm I might watch Jesse

Good going, Maria! You are one honest person out of all the rest who is brave enough to call foul on this election fraudulence perpetrated by Democrats who don’t give a damn about this country.

Sounds like Parler better gear up. I read earlier that their site crashed because of 2.5 million people coming online.

I just ended my twitter jack dorsey driven account, and have been on parler for a while now.

Voter disenfranchisement tends to make people testy.

The closest I ever came to Twitter or any other social media company is when I wrote a bit of code for one about 10 years ago. I wouldn't join any social media site or work for any social media company (though I have a couple of friends who do). Parler sounds like it's dedicated to the free and open exchange of ideas, and that's a welcome change from Big Tech's suffocating, toxic left-wing bias and censorship. I won't join, but I'm glad there are some new social media competitors coming up which aren't slavishly devoted to advancing left-wing agendas.
