FLASHBACK: CJR Claimed Big Tech ‘Anti-Conservative Bias’ Was ‘Myth’ that ‘Refuses to Die’ in 2019

The liberal Columbia Journalism Review may now want to consider retracting its 2019 screed dismissing Big Tech bias against conservatives as a “myth” that “refuses to die.”

CJR’s August 2019 propaganda was plastered with a blaring headline: “The myth of social media anti-conservative bias refuses to die.” CJR Chief Digital Writer Mathew Ingram decried how “DESPITE AN ALMOST TOTAL LACK of evidence to support the theory, alt-right groups and mainstream conservatives alike—including the ones that currently occupy the [Trump] White House—continue to promote the idea that Facebook, Twitter and Google are somehow biased against them.” Oops! That statement aged like a carton of old milk left out in the sun for days.

Too bad for Ingram that MRC Free Speech America and its unique CensorTrack database have the receipts. A lot has happened in the over three years since Ingram’s pro-Big Tech lecture to the plebeians that ended up completely wrecking his gaslighting.

The Columbia Journal Review started going left several decades ago. Next they often went stupid and they love to prove it on occasion.

If the Columbia Journalism Review was capable of such honesty journalism wouldn't be the joke it is today.

What’s in it for him? Just a paycheck?

I hope you’re not suggesting that left and stupid are two distinct characteristics.

Rather than demanding retractions from these tools (which they won’t do), we should ridicule them. Any time you hear someone cite one of them, laugh and say “I can’t believe you fall for that s**t”. Make it uncool to follow them, because most progs just think liberal crap are the things cool people think, and don’t give much more thought to it.

Give them what they’ve been giving us.

Only conservatives think there is a bias against conservatives, so we’re suppressing that to show that there isn’t.
