If media weren't scared of vote fraud claims, they wouldn't censor them

The media have decided to censor criticism of the election instead of trying to disprove allegations.

President Trump's attorney Jesse Binnall complained that his opening statement before a Senate Homeland Security hearing on election fraud was banned on YouTube. Binnall tweeted, "YouTube has decided that my opening statement in the U.S. [Senate], given under oath and based upon hard evidence, is too dangerous for you to see; they removed it. To this day, 'our evidence has never been refuted, only ignored.' Why is Google so afraid of the truth?" The following message appeared when his testimony was searched: "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines." These "Community Guidelines are designed to ensure our community stays protected."

On December 9, YouTube updated its policy on "election-related misinformation." "Our policies disallow content alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of a historical U.S. presidential election. Starting today, we will remove new content uploaded on or after December 9, 2020, alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election."

YouTube employees are fairly intelligent people. YouTube's CEO has a degree from Harvard University. If they sincerely wanted to protect the community from false information, they should have allowed Binnall's video to remain on YouTube. By banning it, they activated the "Streisand Effect." The Streisand effect occurs when an attempt to censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing the information. It's named after Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress a photograph of her residence in Malibu, California drew further attention to it. The censored video was immediately posted on BitChute.

It was so shameful that Newsmax and Fox retracted all their Smartmatic coverage. Who cares if it was lies, the important thing is that it kept the grift going a little longer. If they’re scared of a little defamation lawsuit, I’m taking my business to OAN.

Yep, YouTube does not own the internet. There are plenty of other options

If the media challenges the vote fraud evidence, it will be overwhelmed. Better to ignore it altogether and pretend it doesn’t exist.

That’s pretty harsh, but it’s true. Trying to overturn a legally conducted election. There’s really no other word for it.

The media know that the claims and affidavits and data analysis of vote fraud are as true and verifiable as Hunter’s laptop and Bobolinsky’s public testimony - and have squelched them both, to the best of their ability, to keep the knowledge contained in all of it out of the conscious minds of the masses.

They’re evil.
