Politico ran a hit piece this morning about Dan, portraying him as someone who burst on the scene by peddling post-election conspiracy theories, Dan Bongino leads the MAGA field in stolen-election messaging:
Bongino — a former police officer and Secret Service agent who was a latecomer to the talk-show world — is the surprise leader in the far-right media sweepstakes set off by Trump’s refusal to concede the election. While the president’s chances of clinging to power remain wafer thin, the prospect of a new conspiracy theory that could dominate right-wing discourse for four years is not being ignored by the pundits, podcasters and mini-moguls who populate MAGA-world.
Only ignorant or malicious liberal journalists could not know that Dan’s star has been rising for years, particularly this year. To attribute his success to post-election posturing is deceptive and false. But I suspected something else was up regarding the focus of the Politico article on election contests — that is an excuse being used by social media giants to ban or restrict many people who question how the election was conducted and the vote count.
Maybe it was coincidence, but today Dan also revealed that Dan and his entities have been demonetized by Outbrain, a large online advertising system which allows publishers to place links to their articles on other websites. When you see boxed links to articles at other websites, it’s usually advertising and Outbrain is one of the largest players.
Matt Polumbo adds at Bongino.com:
Outbrain is a platform that publishers can use to display ads on their websites – including this one… formally.This morning Dan got an email from Outbrain, informing us that they’d no longer be allowing us to use their platform. “It has come to our attention that some of the content on one or more of the domains associated with your account are in violation of the terms of our agreement” Outbrain says, without specifying what was violated.
Bizarrely, this email comes from their “anti-fraud team”…. who allege no fraud….
While we have no idea whatsoever what content of ours supposedly violated their terms of service, and we can only speculate that it’s for purely ideological reasons, it would be yet the millionth time this has happened to conservatives.
Outbrain is free to clarify what policy was violated – though it’s a bit odd they didn’t do so in the first place.
The Deplatformers are out for blood.
Bkmk
It is disappointing to see this happen to Bongino. However, he has advocated a government hands off stance toward the big tech and social media oligarchs for years. Perhaps now he will realize that many of these companies are so malignant that they must be broken up and legions of their executives and employees incarcerated.
And today he starts chemo for cancer...
From our Declaration...
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
It’s the Revolution all over again.
And we’re in the fight of our lives for our freedom.
Trump’s chances are wafer thin?
Not drinking that Kool-Aid.
High Tech Orwell
I love Dan Bongino.
He is a real stand-up guy.
They will not silence this truly amazing American patriot!
Dan is definitely a great Patriot.
Prayers up for the success of Dan’s chemo!
Calling all FReeper prayer warriors!
He did put his money where his mouth is. He put some money into Rumble and Parlor.
I didn’t know who he was. The first time I saw his picture was last week and I knew where he was from and that he was of Italian descent just by his picture :)
I’m guessing he’s very tough and can weather a lot of storms.
The author criticizing DanB was MAGGIE SEVERNS
William Jacobson is the good guy here.
WTF does that even mean? Words matter and that phrase above is totally asinine.
I used to say “build your own platform” but now I realize how wrong I was.
Aside from the expense, platforms require revenue and revenue comes from advertisements.
Conservative and patriot supporting platforms are not going to get any advertisers thanks to ‘cancel culture’ and the threat of left wing violence.
They will not get exposure on major search engines thanks to places like Google being under the control of the ‘Woke.’
The only solution is to make these platforms public utilities.
This cral is more like KRISTALLNACHT!
Who gives a crap of Facebook Twitter and all these idiots try to get rid of us?
We have FreeRepublic!!!!
And some other great sites as well
If you want to see BonGino’s full shows almost all the time , it can be found on rumble
That being said there is no comparison of any other website to free republic
and we have Jim Robinson to think and of course ,Jim , you are in our prayers today in the most serious manner ; at the loss of your dear wife
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family in this most difficult time
In communist Russia, they went after the press, then eliminated the opposing politicians, then the church.
