(CNS News) -- This morning, constitutional scholar, best selling author, and conservative talk-radio host Mark Levin tweeted out a message he had received from Facebook, stating that his Facebook page would experience “reduced distribution and other restrictions.”

Levin said the restriction is “a clear effort at censorship.”

============================================================================

=============================================================================

On Levin’s page, Facebook posted, “Your Page has reduced distribution and other restrictions because of repeated sharing of false news. People will also be able to see if a Page has a history of sharing false news.”

On Facebook, Levin remarked, “Facebook has just sent us this message. It’s a clear effort at censorship. Every link I post is from a legitimate source. But because so many people are seeing what I’m posting and we’re within weeks of the election it’s clear that Facebook is trying to influence the election’s outcome.”

“It’s also clear Facebook is pushing a leftwing agenda,” said the New York Times best selling author. “I’ll address this tonight on radio.”

The Mark Levin radio show is ranked No. 4 in the nation, according to Talkers.com.

Currently, Levin’s Facebook page has over 1.5 million likes and slightly over 1.49 million followers. On Twitter, Levin has 2.5 million followers.

TechWatch, a division of the Media Research Center, has reported on Facebook allegedly censoring conservative media, including advertisements this month from President Donald Trump’s campaign, labelling them “misleading.”

“In recent months, Facebook has removed or labelled multiple posts from Trump,” said TechWatch. “On September 3, for example, Facebook flagged Trump’s post that told voters how to make sure their votes have been properly collected and tabulated."

"In August, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said that the platform is prepared to take down any of the president’s posts that violate its definition of ‘hate speech’ or ‘misinformation,'" reported TechWatch. "The platform also removed a video of Trump discussing the effects of COVID-19 on children in the same month.”

Mark Levin is the author of numerous books, six of which were New York Times best sellers. In addition to his syndicated radio show, he hosts the TV program Life, Liberty & Levin on the Fox News Channel. Levin held several posts in the Reagan administration, including chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese.

Watch it JUMP afterwards, for anyone who disagrees that the pedophile won.

And still the Republicants do nothing about Section 230.

They can live with this kind of slander forever and end up out of office, or they can fight now.

ILLEGAL IN-KIND CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS by FaceBook. This calls for massive fines and criminal convictions.

Wow. Overt Political Censorship.

The Fascists never cease to amaze me. I guess the Socialist Democrats can’t be expected to change. What is it that the moderator of the recent debate said during an interview when it comes to people..

“No...they can’t” (be expected to think for themselves)

Yep.
The trouble for Facebook is they don't control radio, where Mark Levin reaches by far most of his listeners.

The trouble for Levin is that radio is a 1930’s technology that is slowly dying. Social media is how you reach the masses these days.

Republicans have been asleep at this switch for 20 years.

Both the GOP Senate and the DOJ are working on revoking 230 for big tech as we speak.

Um, guys, why are we not freaking out more as Nazism or Marxism..take your choice...unfolds before our eyes?

I guess we are planning on Trump winning and tackling this issue/nonsense.

That reminds me...I’m gonna check online now to see where you offer to take folks to the polls who otherwise can’t get there.

You got it the other way round.
That 1930s technology allows Rush to be the most powerful media personality in the country. No one even comes close.

Have they ever posted this in Facebook? I don’t have any of the social venues which is why I’m urging FR’s doing this and this one has some pics that should get out there

Print this up and get this out there in your precincts

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

No need to worry with that. The Dems have it well taken care of. They'll even fill out their ballots for them, and make sure they get counted! How patriotic of them!.................

With all due respect to ElRusbo, he is coasting on an audience he built in the 1990's. As the news director of an AM radio station once told me, our main problem is that we lose ten listeners a day via the obituary column. In another decade that medium won't exist. As it is now it reaches almost no one under 40.

And it pains me to say that as I'm a radio fan from way back.
