It unfortunately isn’t a surprise anymore when we hear big tech coming after conservative influencers and pundits.
It seems pretty clear big tech has been bringing the pot up to a slow boil so the frog doesn’t notice it’s being cooked. But we get it, we get we’re being cooked.
The latest ax to fall is on a big name now in the conservative media universe, Dan Bongino.
As Legal Insurrection notes, Politico just ran a hit piece on him because he’s emerged as a powerful voice. But Politico falsely framed Bongino’s emergence to ‘conspiracy theories’ about the election.
Bongino — a former police officer and Secret Service agent who was a latecomer to the talk-show world — is the surprise leader in the far-right media sweepstakes set off by Trump’s refusal to concede the election. While the president’s chances of clinging to power remain wafer thin, the prospect of a new conspiracy theory that could dominate right-wing discourse for four years is not being ignored by the pundits, podcasters and mini-moguls who populate MAGA-world.
Not only is that wrong, but Bongino came to media prominence long before the fraud questions began being raised about the election.
But it may be coincidental (or not) that after that attack, Bongino and his various websites were demonetized by Outbrain, which is an online advertising system, without being clear why they were demonetizing them.
If you don’t have the advertising revenue then it’s hard to maintain sites. They don’t even identify to Bongino what the alleged problem is so he could explain or rectify it, they just use it as an excuse to boot him.
Bongino has clearly tried to diversify so he likely will be able to find alternatives to take the place of Outbrain.
But other people/sites might not have the ability to weather such a strike on their advertisers. We’ve seen the left use such attacks before when going after people like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, trying to knock them off Fox.
But it’s another warning to all of us that we need to prepare for this picking up and going full bore against all of us. If we think that social media and big tech are going to drop the hammer, and we already see they are, then we better have alternatives… outlets for social media to communicate and other hosts for websites who wouldn’t wilt in the middle of a fight.
That’s why some are fleeing Twitter for other places like Parler.
I noticed something was up on Twitter when I could no longer find Dan Bongino's account by searching for his username or name. They are hiding his account. It used to come up under suggestions or people whenever you searched his name, this is what you get: Not Dan Bongino @danbonginoknows Dan Bongino @DanBong38802342 Dan Bongino is a Terrorist @BonginoIs
I noticed something was up on Twitter the past few days when I could no longer find Dan Bongino’s account by searching for his username or name. It is also no longer a suggestion if you are on other similar accounts. They are hiding his account. It used to come up under suggestions or people whenever you searched his name, but this is what you get now:
Not Dan Bongino
@danbonginoknows
Dan Bongino
@DanBong38802342
Dan Bongino is a Terrorist
@BonginoIs
Bongino himself cancelled his twitter account he is NOW on Parler!!!!
When someone tells the truth, they are immediately silenced.
Now go on someone else’s account and search for Dan Bongino or dbongino, everything but the real Bongino account comes up.
Outbrain? Like their brain fell out?
Apt.
Bongino has rumble and parler
@dbongino Wow, Twitter is working hard in hiding you deep into the feed— Yoni Wolf (@wolfyoni) November 12, 2020
I only read twitter and am not sure how to even do that.
:)
So this is the dude bragging about how he owns Parler
crying about being deplatformed? Is he not getting
enough attention or making enough money for having an opinion?
Bongenious shows his true colors.
For example go to Mark Levin’s twitter page:
https://twitter.com/marklevinshow
Then in the search box type in dan bongino, bongino, or dbongino.
Everything but Dan’s twitter page comes up. It was never like this before. Someone at Twitter is working hard to hide his account. It also used to be a suggested site on Mark’s page.
How very fascist of Gay Rasputin.
There are 14 punctuation marks that are commonly used in English grammar. They are the period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, semicolon, colon, dash, hyphen, parentheses, brackets, braces, apostrophe, quotation marks, and ellipsis. Following their correct usage will make your writing easier to read and more appealing.
As a sentence ender:
Jane and Jack went to the market. After an abbreviation: Her son, John Jones Jr., was born on Dec. 6, 2008.
Use a question mark (?) to indicate a direct question when placed at the end of a sentence.
When did Jane leave for the market? The exclamation point (!) is used when a person wants to express a sudden outcry or add emphasis.
Within dialogue: "Holy cow!" screamed Jane. To emphasize a point: My mother-in-law's rants make me furious!

I've been restricted and censored on Facebook. Please make sure you transition to Parler ASAP as I will be leaving Facebook probably by the end of the year.https://t.co/3RnjMoknfj pic.twitter.com/Yaek45yBXI— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 19, 2020
