CensorTrack Has Receipts! WashPost Claims ‘No Proof’ of Conservative Twitter Censorship
NewsBusters ^ | 11/30/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

That The Washington Post can claim with a straight face that there was “no proof” of Twitter censoring conservatives when the Media Research Center has been documenting individual cases of censorship for over two years is simply ridiculous.

A Nov. 27 Post article written by three reporters brazenly claimed “[t]he right wing and conservatives for years have accused Twitter of censorship with no proof.” That’s despite the fact that Twitter owner Elon Musk stated unequivocally days before the article’s publication that it was “correct” when conservative podcaster Dinesh D’Souza said that Twitter “[c]ensorship has been deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives.” The Post glossed over Musk’s affirmation of Twitter censorship by teasing that he “agreed with right-wing figures on the site who accuse Twitter’s previous management of being biased against conservatives,” but only as a way of making it seem like the billionaire is misleading when “he says he’s a political moderate.”

MRC Free Speech America would also like to introduce The Post to its CensorTrack.org database, which was launched in September 2020 to specifically show the proof of the extent of Big Tech censorship of conservatives. It’s pretty convenient for the liberal rag to treat this database as though it didn’t exist.

The Narrative changes to ‘I have seen no proof that Conservatives have been censored on Twitter’.

Twitter got me in 2019.

A conservative DINO who never violated Twitter’s terms of service in any way.

I’d love to know who did it and why.

Still permanently suspended, BTW.

No free speech for me on Twitter.

How do you define “proof”? If I define it as “something which makes me believe”, then you can’t prove to me that the sky is blue. I’ll simply keep refusing to acknowledge “belief”, and then laugh while you bang your head against a wall trying to make me.

Probably something you retweeted that you didn’t even know was controversial.

“WashPost Claims ‘No Proof’ of Conservative Twitter Censorship”

WashPost rarely prints the truth

There, fixed it

I had a couple satirical NPC accounts banned before I made a single tweet or retweet.

Just having the letters NPC in the account handle and a picture with a grey face and a triangle for a nose was sometimes enough to earn an instant suspension from “the free speech wing of the free-speech party”.

Where’s the proof that there is no proof?

The whole NPC thing was an incredibly effective attack/commentary on the Left, primarily because it was so accurate. So of course the Left had to vigorously suppress it via censorship.

I just heard Ann Coulter on WOR this morning talking to Mark Simone. She said that there was a long period of time (can't recall exactly how long) where Twitter was listing her as having *no* followers. But she said that very recently she's gone up to 2 million followers.

Sounds pretty convincing to me.

There’s no proof that the Washington Post is a legitimate news organization. At least not in the last 30 years. Maybe longer.

And opining like this piece does actually proves that it’s not.
