Global advertising group falsely claimed it didn't blacklist Elon Musk's Twitter: Judiciary GOP

The leader of the World Federation of Advertisers' Global Alliance for Responsible Media falsely claimed it did not direct its members to blacklist Twitter after Elon Musk purchased the platform, since renamed X, according to a House Judiciary Committee GOP interim staff report.

Rob Rakowitz's claim during his transcribed interview with the committee is contradicted by a GARM member's documentation of "discussions about the boycott, noting that the company had pulled advertisements from Twitter based on GARM's recommendations," a committee press release Monday says.

The report documents how GARM "participated in boycotts and coordinated action to demonetize platforms, podcasts, news outlets, and other content that GARM and its members deem disfavored," particularly Musk's platform because its new owner exposed Twitter's previous censorship, Joe Rogan's podcast for his COVID-19 views and a President Trump 2020 campaign ad that claimed challenger Joe Biden "REFUSED drug test & DECLINED an earpiece inspection!"

Documents obtained by the committee show "an anti-conservative bias that permeates GARM's board of directors," who discussed placing The Daily Wire, Fox News and Breitbart on the "exclusion lists" by GroupM, a board member, the press release says.

Democrats have no problem at all in lying, even when under oath. They feel the end definitely justifies the means and therefore everyone else will understand and excuse such lies. If something, even censorship and lies about those actions, is done in pursuit of getting rid of "orangemanbad" then certainly it should be not only condoned and excused, but also even encouraged.

“..falsely claimed..”

They be just as qualified as SPLC anti-christs at judging right from wrong.

To say the end justifies the means implies they dislike lying but see it as necessary. I contend those vermin enjoy the means just as much as the ends. The revel in lying to decent people knowing they will never be held accountable.
