Speaks of the deplatforming, debanking, canceling and banning of independent journalists and conservatives like him during Biden's reign, as well as POTUS 45. Explains that CNN, et al., are not prevented from doing their jobs and reporting, just no longer have access to the briefing room, whereas he and his colleagues, as well as POTUS 45 were actually being deprived of 1st Amendment rights, and the same lib "journalists" at the time were squealing with demonic glee.

“Their butts hurt, dontcha know. “
Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought the brain didn’t have any pain sensors, and their butts are where they keep their brains, right?
Benny Johnson argues that left-wing corporate journalists’ complaints about First Amendment threats (apparently related to restricted White House access or similar privileges) are hypocritical and meaningless.
He contrasts this with what he and other independent/conservative voices experienced: widespread deplatforming, demonetization, shadowbanning on social media, and even debanking—actions he equates to effectively silencing their ability to reach audiences. He notes that colleagues and then-President Trump faced similar treatment (e.g., Trump being unable to get basic accounts on platforms like Etsy or LinkedIn).
According to Johnson, those same journalists celebrated or stayed silent during that period, and earlier attempts to exclude Fox News from White House access were also supported by many on the left (including figures like David Axelrod and Barack Obama). He further criticizes mainstream media for refusing to air or interrupting Trump’s rally speeches while “fact-checking” him live.
His core point: Losing press badges or cafeteria access is minor and does not stop reporting, whereas the earlier restrictions on independent voices and Trump were genuine attacks on free speech and the ability to communicate. He urges viewers not to believe the journalists’ “tears” or claims, calling them lies.
The short is framed as a direct message defending independent media and highlighting perceived double standards.
The “Lib” reporters will never admit that they are “Libs.”
Never
Valid point. But I think each hemisphere of the brain is in either glutius maximus, where as their a-holes are free and clear of brain matter, lest it fall out. So that can hurt.
There are no more “libs”. There are the leftards, the DSA, and the Hamas lovers. No Lib would be caught dead with them. RFK’s assassin was a Palestinian terrorist of the Sirhani tribe. Jane Fonda used to make a show of supporting Israel. Harry Truman, a New Deal Democrat, recognized Israel as an official act of his presidency, against the advice of the State Department, and went toe to toe with Henry Wallace of the breakaway Progressive Party, called him a communist. JFK confronted the communists at Check Point Charlie and in Cuba. He also cut taxes. Were they conservatives? No. But they would have stayed the F away from AOC, AlSayed, Mamdani, et al.
