BLACKLIST: Forbes Magazine Threatens Companies That Hire Trump Officials
NewsBusters ^ | 1/11/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 01/11/2021 12:59:51 PM PST by JV3MRC

Forbes Magazine abandoned any illusion of its free-market stance by issuing a threat to any company that chooses to hire some individuals who worked for President Donald Trump.

Chief Content Officer of Forbes Media and editor of Forbes Magazine Randall Lane published an asinine op-ed that threatened, “Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.” Lane included former Trump White House press secretaries Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Stephanie Grisham in his blacklist of Trump “fabulists,” in addition to former advisor to the president Kellyanne Conway. Lane also took a disgusting swipe at current White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, calling her a “propaganda prodigy at 32 who makes smiling falsehood an art form.” Lane doesn’t grasp that by writing this drivel, he has taken part in pushing his own form of propaganda.

Lane promised his outlet will “scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we’d approach a Trump tweet” any company that hires one of the forbidden Trumpsters. “Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away,” Lane quipped. He made his brand out to be a “truth reckoning” knight in shining armor: “In this time of transition – and pain – reinvigorating democracy requires a reckoning. A truth reckoning. Starting with the people paid by the People to inform the People.”

Well can you lie about supporting Trump? Say that you burned any Trump things?

The Democrats are not only poor losers, they are also poor winners!

Perhaps it’s just a pretense to distract from the electoral fraud used to win?

This is the third time the Forbes story has been posted on Free Republic.

As a result Forbes likely has had a huge surge in readership that they are still wondering about.

According to Dun and Bradstreet, Forbes is but a shell of its former self-—

Forbes Media LLC is located in Jersey City, NJ, United States and is part of the Commercial Printing Industry. Forbes Media LLC has 54 total employees across all of its locations and generates $19.31 million in sales (USD). There are 2 companies in the Forbes Media LLC corporate family.

Who cares what he said? This is the Chief Content Officer for Forbes Media and editor of the magazine making these claims. This means Lane has editorial control of the content that gets published on Forbes. And it is vehemently anti-Trump now, which could very well have a lot to do with him.

[[The Democrats are not only poor losers, they are also poor winners!]]

they are just perpetually outraged- even ‘winning’ ticks them off. This is what Satanic control over someone looks like- seriously- These folks may not have consciously given themselves over to the Evil One, but they do His bidding just the same, and it twists and distorts their minds, because that kind of Evil Control is Anti-God, Anti-Morality, and it just loathes anything decent- just as their Father the Evil one loathes anythign decent

I would say a person and entity would have a lawsuit on their hands if they interfere with someone’s ability to find work...

If biden and company are president.. your words will be watched and if you support the wrong person, you are fired. If you talk to the wrong person, you are fired....if neighbors tell on you, you are fired...

you can’t get health for your family if you are labeled ..

do you all not understand any of this? or do you hear it and think it not possible? come on.... get your head out of the sand..

why are there busloads of troops in Washington DC.. why are the left shutting down any way of communicating.. why are they circling the wagon around the dems in Washington.. so they can keep what they have.
Why can’t pelosi wait till Trump would leave ... why is she wanting him out today...tomorrow...? because she knows she is in trouble ...many more too.. and they want to remove Trump before he can do anything about the horrible stink in DC.

They ALMOST won that election.... stole that election... and got by with it....only TRUMP...!!

Forbes Magazine has just announced that their assessment of businesses is worthless. Bold move for a business magazine.

Forbes is like The Economist; a formerly pro-business magazine that morphed into a globalist loudspeaker.

Only read by nerdy gobalist policy wonks.
