The YouTube Ban Is Un-American, Wrong, and Will Backfire

Taibbi is a Leftist but one of the few honest ones. He disagrees that this election was a fraud, but it's an otherwise worthwhile read. Emphasis mine.

>> Taibbi is a Leftist but one of the few honest ones.

No such thing as an honest Leftist. At best, there’s a slight overlap of interests.

Nonetheless, thanks for posting and the emphasis.

Trump’s plan was 2 build a multimedia network if he lost in 2016. Maybe he’ll return to that plan and build a conservative Twitter/Facebook/CNN/radio/Amazon/TrUniversity.

[nickcarraway]

Do you realize how backwards what you’re suggesting is? Basically you want to silo off all dissenting opinions so that the general public can’t see it? You’re just doing the left’s work for them.

[Flick Lives]

Whoever thought I’d live in a world where I’d agree with Matt Taibbi or Glenn Greenwald and would consider Fox News suspect.

[pepsionice]

Greenwald has probably changed 180 degrees. As much as the Bush team was corrupted...the same occurred with the Obama-team, and Greenwald grasps that.

On Fox...once Disney bought them....I figured it’d happen sooner or later. Disney is now left holding a worthless CNN and worthless Fox. You can’t get any real bid on either, and you might as well merge the two.

[moviefan8]

Disney did not buy Fox News or the regular Fox broadcast network. They only own the movie studio and its library.

ATT owns CNN.

Fact check means you are no longer allowed to look for further facts...

Case closed?

Really?

It is Youtube which is going to be case closed. Bye.

[JudgemAll]

Yep, granted Youtube has now turned into a police prosecuting station, ie. opening and closing cases for political reasons, falsely prosecuting innocent people to rush to close cases and push a narrative...

...You and and I know that leftists never want to close the case of conservatives or other issues of gaslighting power struggle with ghosts that they have... For leftists, the case remains open only when it is their fantasy fiction cause to keep pushing afloat... they are no different than Youtube in that respect except for gaslighting further and trying the elites’ hypocrite proverbial “Story Line”.

And you know that if we helped leftists like antifa test the limits of the elites, the antifa leftists would then run the other way, cower, comply and denounce us.

Taiibi is a leftist baiting free people before switching.

"Trump’s plan was 2 build a multimedia network if he lost in 2016. Maybe he’ll return to that plan and build a conservative Twitter/Facebook/CNN/radio/Amazon/TrUniversity."

No reason he can't do that AND run for president in 2020.

[alexander_busek]

Do you want 70 million Trump voters in the streets with guns and go-bags?

Is that like a "chess-bag?"

Or a "bug-out bag?"

“For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.”

Lies right out of the box. It wasn’t widespread (Lie One) software glitches or counting errors (Lie Two).

Lie One: It was targeted to four states and concentrated to specific counties within those states.

Lie Two: It was software features and intentional miscounting.

THE QUESTION IS - WHO VOTED FOR BIDEN?

23 Nov: Yahoo: BBC: US election 2020: Why Trump gained support among minorities
by Ashitha Nagesh
The Republican president gained six percentage points among black men, and five percentage points among Hispanic women...

***CHECK THE CHART:

SUPPORT FOR TRUMP RISES AMONG VIRTUALLY ALL DEMOGRAPHICS.

HOW EXIT POLL SUGGESTS PEOPLE VOTED BY ETHNICITY, SHOWN WITH CHANGE ON 2016
(TRUMP IMPROVES VOTE WITH ***EVERY DEMOGRAPHIC EXCEPT FOR -1 FOR WHITE MEN; INCREASES VOTE FROM WHITE WOMEN +3;

BIDEN HAS DECREASED DEM VOTE FOR ALL DEMOGRAPHICS, EXCEPT FOR WHITE MEN +7, WHITE WOMEN +1 AND HISPANIC WOMEN - NO CHANGE.)

18 Nov: Faith & Freedom Coalition: Chairman Ralph Reed: Did evangelicals swing to Biden? Not hardly.
Chairman Ralph Reed wrote the following op-ed for the Christian Post on evangelical voter turnout in 2020.
But whatever else will be remembered about 2020, one fact is clear: evangelical Christians voted in the largest numbers in modern American political history, and they gave President Donald Trump more votes than any presidential candidate had ever received. According to network exit polls, self-identified evangelicals comprised a record 28 percent of the electorate, or a total of 44.8 million voters, 9.2 million more than voted in 2016. If one adds frequently Mass-attending Roman Catholics (who comprise another 9 percent of the electorate, devout Christians total 37 percent of the entire vote – larger than the union vote, African-American vote, and the Hispanic vote combined...

According to a post-election survey conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, Trump won 81 percent of the evangelical vote to Joe Biden’s 14 percent. Biden won a smaller share of the evangelical vote than Hillary Clinton did (16 percent), and the smallest percentage ever recorded for a major-party presidential nominee. (A separate exit poll conducted by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago also showed Trump winning 81 percent of the evangelical vote.)…
Meanwhile, Democrats are on track to lose as many as 14 House seats, a stinging rebuke to Nancy Pelosi and The Squad, the far-left Democrats who have pushed the Green New Deal, socialized health care and defunding the police. Most of the new Republican members of Congress are women, minorities, and veterans...

Imagine you have a community news paper.

You go down and want to place an advertisement in the papers commercial section for rubber tires.

The newspaper refuses to run the ad because the rubber tires are mad by a well known Republican.

Do you think that paper would stay long in business?

Its the same with YouTube.

Their lightweight euro-weenie, man-bun management have ruined a cash cow. Now they must ride the lightning.

Wait for the whining to start.

[Renkluaf]

So stop using the damned thing.

[TigerLikesRoosterNew]

I am not really against Taibbi. But here is the problem. We can present eloquent argument hoping that it will persuade them. Such an argument in and out of itself doesn't have much impact unless they see the real proof that it is right.

People splitting into two groups which have less and less in common, people moving to another location where their views are welcomed not condemned. All progressing under the surface without angry protests. Until that happens, they will scoff at Taibbi.

[Shadow44]

YouTube has never been profitable in its entire history. It only exists to to this day because Google owns it and is willing to lose money for the kind of control the company has now. Netflix is the same way, it continues to operate at a loss because it gets tons of money from Silicon Valley investors who care more about what Netflix does than making money.

[Candor7]

Tanking is inevitable.

[kearnyirish2]

It was clear in 2016 that a multimedia network had to be built ASAP during and after the 2016, because without one 2020 was inevitable. 4 years of constant attacks on Trump (AND HIS SUPPORTERS) has set up a scenario where election theft would seem like a plausible win to enough of the population of sheep.

[OKSooner]

"If you want a population of people to stop thinking an election was stolen from them, it’s hard to think of a worse method than ordering a news blackout after it’s just been demonstrated that the last major blackout was a fraud. "

Yeah, so? What are they gonna do about it? The Chinese know what they're doing; they're old hands at it.
