Full Title - "THE CONSERVATIVE PURGE BEGINS=> Apple Removes Breitbart From Their App Store"
Guest post by Joe Hoft
Let the purge begin.
Democrats are furious that Americans rejected their criminal, unethical, boring and fainting far left candidate.
And they are OUTRAGED that they do not control the flow of information anymore thanks to the internet, Facebook, Twitter, and talk radio.
So rather than win on ideas they have decided to purge the conservative websites from the marketplace of ideas.
The Apple store removed Breitbart.com from their App store recently.
If you do a search on “Breitbart” or “BreitbartNews” this is what you get.
They’ve removed it.
Breitbart had 45 million monthly readers last month.
They’re too much of a threat.

Available ‘News Pro.’ iTunes Store. 99 cents. Perhaps a temp. glitch?
adblock is now a google company and lets in some ads. Ghostary does not.
also the original adblock no longer works on Win 7
“Apple yanked Breitbart’s free app last week from its App Store. Breitbart readers tweeted their anger over the app’s departure, and accused Apple of hypocrisy”

Yeah, this getting weird. Now I can’t find it.
You might want to search in the App Store for Breithedge - it looks like it has links to Breitbart, drudge, zerohedge and Fox News...

“adblock is now a google company and lets in some ads. Ghostary does not.”

No - in preferences you can turn off “allow some non-obtrusive advertising”, e.g. Google. I see no ads.
“also the original adblock no longer works on Win 7”

It’s always been the same “original adblock”, unless you mean an old outdated version.
Also, I’m using it right now on Win 7.
There are differing free options for an adblocking program, depending on the OS - there’s “uBlock Origin”, which some people prefer over Adblock. It’s pretty good. There’s also “Admuncher” and “Adfender”, which are stand-alone adblocking programs and work with Windows.
Ghostery is a royal PITA - having to configure it for each page a person visits and has a steeper tech learning curve than most people care to tackle.
That's kind of ironic, considering that 1) they are extremely capitalistic - looking for every penny (e.g. Apple changing the adapter shape for their chargers all the time so you can't use old ones), 2) More than happy to ship jobs oversees and use cheap labor, 3) Extremely regimented internally - demanding people work long hours and essentially commit big junks of their lives to the company, 4) Generally located in high-cost areas of the US, with enclaves of employees living in upscale homes and driving up the cost of living in the areas in which they live, 5) Sue each other at the drop of a dime for any perceived incursions on intellectual property (I thought communists were against the concept of ‘personal property’, etc.
Anyway, I'm not disparaging the capitalistic aspects in the least, but they are clearly hypocrites.

Looks like a third party app (By Z5 Concepts), not an official Breitbart app.

Forgot to add - that is also incorrect, “Eyeo GmbH” is it’s creator & maker:

They seem to go out of their way to infuriate 50% of their customers, and we are the ones who tend to have the money to buy their overpriced walkie talkies.
This kinda of crap is why I will never buy new Apple computers. Refurbished from Mac of All Trades for me.
Just ibstalwantedked it from Google Play on my Galaxy. Even if they take it down you can easily install apps on Android from other stores. Ahhhh freedom.
I just searched in the App store and it was there. I hadn’t known about it before. I paid the .99 downloaded it and it works fine.
Uh how many of us changing to a Droid after our contracts expire would it take to wake up Apple.
My contract is up in February and if this $$@# is going on I will change.
Also putting my plans on hold to buy my hubby a Mac Pro for Christmas.
Everyone keeps saying we if XXX happens, we will have a civil war. I feel we are already in a civil war. Every day we receive yet another offensive blast from the dems.
We need defense. It’s half time. We have a great team. Let’s win.
I found “News Pro - Breitbart Edition”
Is it possible Breitbart is using another app?
I just checked. It’s there.
I hate it when sites say something so easily proven wrong.
5 in this family all changed from Apple, and could not be any happier. No more Apple products, no more paying for music, movies, apps etc.
