(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 Levins 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. Its a clear effort at censorship. Every link I post is from a legitimate source. But because so many people are seeing what Im posting and were within weeks of the election its clear that Facebook is trying to influence the elections outcome.
Its also clear Facebook is pushing a leftwing agenda, said the New York Times best selling author. Ill address this tonight on radio.
The Mark Levin radio show is ranked No. 4 in the nation, according to Talkers.com.
Currently, Levins 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 Trumps 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 Trumps 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 presidents 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.

Social media networks has met their enemies and they is them.
My biggest problem with Levin is that he bashes Anthony Fauci mercilessly on the radio, but when he had him one-on-one for 30 minutes on television he did not ask him even ONE pointed question.
Even a weasel like Fauci deserves to be confronted to his face IMO.
“I cannot recall anything Mark has said that is untrue.”
His recent interview with AG Bagpipes was HORRIBLE considering the dire straits we are in.
It’s like the dog that didn’t bark. Sherlock Holmes figured that one out long ago.
Glad to see Parler.com becoming more active.
Another example where Dubya screwed the pooch.
Lots of working people still listen to the radio on the job and while driving.
Yes, they do.
Did I say that radio was going to die tomorrow? Or next year?
No, I did not.
But in 10 years these kids who don’t listen today will not have suddenly started, and they’ll be the bulk of the population.
I know people in the radio business and they are all pretty much resigned to this.
You sound a little defensive. Put some ice on that.
Style over content hun? Weak.
Put some more ice on it then.
>> why are we not freaking out more
I regularly point out that the nations federally licensed telecom is force feeding its monopolized subscriber base the crap you speak of. But few give a #.
CNN is ATT the nations #1 telecom provider
NBC, MSNBC are Comcast the nations #3 telecom provider.
Style matters. That's why Rush is much more effective than Levin. Levin's "style" detracts from what he has to say.

You’re almost right but not yet. Car/Truck streaming is still a much smaller footprint than radio but it’s coming
So does the MSM, CNN, etc.. or their employees have Fakebook pages?
Shut them down now!
These conglomerates need to be disbanded.
Of course you're right; over the air radio is on a long steady decline.
Sirius satellite radio has an audience but the heavy listeners to talk are mostly truckers.
Streaming and podcasting are the future but it remains to be seen how many talkers can make the economics work.
They just MAY have rattled the wrong cage...
The Ministry of Truth (Twitter/Facebook/Google/etc) can suppress conservative thought so we are all isolated.
They can make it appear that 90% of the public is with the Swamp, and everyone else is a “white supremacist.”
