Breaking! CNN Contacts Social Media Companies to Censor Conservative Media During Live Presidential Debate (VIDEO)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 25, 2024 | Jordan Conradson

CNN is attempting to silence independent media and control the narrative surrounding the first 2024 Presidential debate on Thursday by not allowing the use of CNN’s live broadcast to report and comment on the debate in real time.

This revelation comes after CNN’s Kasie Hunt abruptly cut off Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, after she brought up Jake Tapper’s history of comparing Trump to Hitler and told people to “Google ‘Jake Tapper Donald Trump.'”

It’s not enough to turn off President Trump’s microphone or to cut off spokespersons in interviews.

Jesse Watters compared this move to slapping a gag order on the Trump campaign. “We knew Trump’s mic would be muted during the debate, but we didn’t know his campaign’s mic would be muted before it,” said Watters.

It appears they took a page or two out of the Democrat playbook regarding gag orders and reaching out to social media companies and YouTube to censor conservatives.

According to Tim Pool, the far-left YouTube contacted him, stating that CNN is not allowing live commentary on the debate and that "they are asking other networks who are doing the exact same thing to abide by certain restrictions."

Per Voz:

CNN alleges that its request has more to do with image rights than anything else. In the preceding presidential election, Fox also sought to sue those who used its live broadcast to comment on the debate on internet platforms, though it eventually dropped the legal battle.

Tim Pool assured this Monday that what the television network really wants is that "no one breaks its narrative." The commentator assures that preventing communicators like him from doing live monitoring of the debate with commentary and fact-checking is an attack against the basic principles of civic and democratic participation.

This is to prevent Biden, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash from being fact checked live during the debate. It's total censorship!

Trump should back out of this debate now. It is a trap and I put nothing past CNN, including dubbing his voice with AI.

Jake and Dana know this could be a career ending night like all the others.

THey cannot control the Internet. What Fox and others should do is a Science Theatre silhouette with folks sitting around a TV screen watching and commenting play-by-play.

Right. They do not control TikTok or X (formerly Twitter).

But they can censor Fascistbook, Instagram and YouTube.

CNN knows the its lapdogs like CBS,FOX, and NBC will toe the communist line...

I fully expect that Trump’s mike will end up muted every time he tries to make a salient point...

One thing is clear, Biden and his cabal have had the subjects/questions for several days and Biden has been spoon-fed the answers over and over and over again...

I would’ve never have agreed to Fake Jake, and Deep State Dana.

Her husband is one of the CiA that lied about Hunter’s Laptop.

This Debate is a mistake.

Require Drug Testing, and Biden would back out.

I agree.

Biden has the questions and has been reciting the answers for a Week.

They’ll play games with the Cameras, too.

Tyrants r us is what leftism is all about. DJT will get his message across and let’s not make too much of this debate. Most peoples minds are already made up Biden vs Trump. Plus there’s social media so dinosaur CNN can’t monopolize the narratives. Trump debating on enemy territory with enemy control- he’s a brave lion among the hyaenas.

Tim pool posted on X to Elon Musk, and Musk responded.

It looks like there will be fireworks during the debate, and a whole lot more after it is over.

Stocking on up refreshments for this weekend's festivities might be worthwhile. Suggestions?

I don’t want a fair debate.

It is expected to be biased, I don’t want any surprises.

The last thing that I want is these folks coming across as fair and decent.

Biden isd either going to appear lucid, in which case he should stand trial or veggie like.

Pres Trump is just about free rolling here.

Dude! THAT is the idea. A Mystery Science Theater version of the debate would destroy them. Freakin’ hilarious.

Unless otherwise agreed:

CNN has the rights to their questions.

Biden has the rights to his campaign utterances.

Trump has the rights to his utterances.
