National Public Radio issued a correction after running a false statement about the laptop of Hunter Biden in a story about Biden’s recent memoir, “Beautiful Things.” The article by NPR senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving stated categorically that the laptop story was discredited by news organizations. It was later compelled to correct that false statement but still has language casting doubt on the story and evades glaring contradictions in Biden’s book and his interview. Moreover, NPR continues to run false claims from prior controversies. The NPR story originally stated that “The laptop story was discredited by U.S. intelligence and...

Never have so few so devastatingly impacted the well-being and future of this country. The American left uses their dominant position in social media to manipulate the legacy media, set the agenda, browbeat the elected members of the Democrat party, and intimidate corporate America. In order to protect their political or social status, many of the self-serving politicians in both parties, as well as corporate executives and editors and journalists, are easily intimidated by the volume and vociferousness of social media trolling. Others are willingly convinced that they are on the right side of various issues based on same criteria....

As Google prepares to bring most employees back to the office, the company is facing a workforce that’s increasingly unhappy when it comes to key issues such as compensation and an ability to meet career goals.Google’s annual employee surveys, internally called “Googlegeist,” show that a growing number of staffers don’t view their pay packages as fair or competitive with what they could make in a similar role elsewhere. They are also questioning their employer’s ability to execute.The surveys were taken in January and released to employees last week. CNBC viewed results from the company overall as well as individual groups...

Social media influencer An0maly blasted Big Tech giants Instagram and TikTok, asking whether they worked in cahoots to silence him on their platforms. Both Instagram and Communist Chinese app TikTok both targeted An0maly for his videos on their respective platforms, according to purported screenshots from the social media influencer. An0maly told MRC Free Speech America that Instagram in particular demonetized him because of three of his videos. The videos simply reiterated media reports from outlets like The Hill and The Wall Street Journal about the ongoing war in Ukraine that Instagram's censors apparently didn’t like. In the most ridiculous case,...

Tech giants Google, Apple, and Facebook have joined a group of 60 companies calling on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to drop recent legislation that defines permanent sex reassignment surgery on children as child abuse. The Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe and their friends have called on Texas leaders to “abandon efforts to write discrimination into law.” Google, Apple, and Facebook are part of the 60 companies asking Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to shut down recently proposed legislation that would define sex reassignment surgery for children as child abuse. In a full-page ad published in the Friday edition of the...

Have you seen that viral clip of Donald Trump talking to a few podcasters about the future of Ukraine and somehow going off on a tangent about windmills? If you wanted to check out the whole video interview on YouTube, you can't. The Full Send Podcast's full video interview of former president Trump has been removed from YouTube for violating the platform's community guidelines on misinformation. While the interview touched upon a wide range of topics, it seems that Trump's continued lies about the 2020 presidential election resulted in the takedown of the video. "We removed this video for violating...

Google-owned YouTube has censored Ukraine On Fire, a 2016 documentary chronicling the events of Euromaidan, the uprising that overthrew Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych and installed a pro-EU, pro-NATO government.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took another warning shot at Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) today, the law that grants Big Tech wide legal immunity to host and censor content at will. In April last year, Thomas suggested that the Supreme Court, in the absence of action by Congress, might have to narrow the protections of Section 230 in an appropriate case. Section 230 of the CDA is integral to the business model of major tech platforms because it ensures they are not held legally liable for the billions of items of user-generated content hosted by them....

Justice Clarence Thomas issued a statement on Monday about the denial of certiorari in the Jane Doe v. Facebook case. In his statement, Justice Thomas called for the Supreme Court to “address the proper scope of immunity under §230 in an appropriate case” available to Big Tech. Justice Thomas narrated that it’s “hard to see” why section 230 is protecting the Big Tech from liability for companies’ “own ‘acts and omissions.’ “It is hard to see why the protection §230(c)(1) grants publishers against being held strictly liable for third parties’ content should protect Facebook from liability for its own “acts...

CUPERTINO, CA—In an unprecedented effort to put additional pressure on Russia, Apple Inc. has announced they will be removing the entire country from Apple maps. "As far as we're concerned, Russia no longer exists on our detailed map of the entire world," said CEO Tim Cook from his vacation home in Beijing. "And if Apple Inc. says you don't exist, then you don't exist! Russia is now the East Atlantic Ocean. Take that, Russia!" Other tech companies are following suit, with Facebook and Twitter also blocking access in Russia. DoorDash and Uber Eats are still active, but will only allow...

Former Attorney General William Barr claims in a new book that he yelled at his boss, then-President Donald Trump over a discussion regarding Hunter Biden shortly before the November 2020 election. “In his upcoming book, ‘One Damn Thing After Another,’ Barr recalled that in October 2020, Trump called soon after a Newsmax segment on Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Fox News reported Wednesday. “Reports about the computer revolved around emails that appeared to connect Joe Biden to his son’s business dealings when the elder Biden was vice president,” the report continued. “You know this stuff from Hunter Biden’s laptop?” Trump asked Barr,...

Last year, when Twitter banned Donald Trump in an act of censorship, the media cheered. CNN ran a column, "What if Twitter had banned Trump sooner?" It was by Dean Obeidallah, a lawyer, who concluded, "I fully defend the free exchange of ideas. But it's abundantly clear that social media companies need to act far more swiftly in the future when people -- especially public figures with immense followings -- use their platforms to spread dangerous misinformation. If not, we may see even more deadly attacks by those radicalized by the lies of morally bankrupt social media users." No opposing...

The entire nation state of Russia is getting the “Gab treatment” by Big Tech and the globalist regime.By that I mean they are being systematically purged from the internet all within the span of about a week. Google is blocking their apps. Apple is blocking their apps. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram have banned or limited access to their accounts. Twitter has started “fact-checking” and reducing the reach of their links. YouTube has demonetized their videos. Reddit has “quarantined” the /r/russia community. Namecheap, a domain registrar, has cut off ALL Russian customers. American right wing dissidents are no strangers to...

Is peaceful dissent to be shut down merely because it is politically incorrect and goes against the elite’s view of what is just and unjust? In his End of the Day Report, Gary Bauer often notes that the left doesn’t want to win the debate. The left wants to shut the debate down. We can see an example of that in the recent case of the rise and fall of the peaceful protests of the Canadian truckers. For the first time since it was passed in 1988, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to shut down the...

AI is being used by major tech companies to censor and control what you can see, read, and discuss online. Similar to what human editors are doing on Facebook, Twitter ETC, radicals who have been empowered to block or tag information they subjectively don’t like, are increasingly stopping the flow of information through the Internet. And T-Mobile has joined other big tech companies by censoring what content they will allow to be included in texts. Links appear to be sent to a family member or friend but the recipient will not receive any texts containing censored links. Those to who...

Big Tech companies are censoring conservative voices and crushing small businesses. Facebook and Twitter kicked President Donald Trump (while he was the incumbent) off their platforms. Google and Apple booted the conservative social media app Parler off their app purchasing platforms. Facebook censored the New York Post’s reporting on the origins of the Coronavirus, and who can forget how Twitter suspended the New York Post for accurately reporting on Hunter Biden’s corruption. Republicans in Congress are finally starting to take this seriously. Big Tech has banned President Trump from Facebook and Twitter, but allows blood-thirsty criminals like Vladimir Putin and...

In a sane world, censorship wouldn’t exist. In a sane world, tech giants like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, which have become de facto modern ‘public squares,’ would respect and allow the free and open exchange of ideas on their platforms. In a sane world, former President Donald Trump and countless others wouldn’t have been summarily banned from said platforms for the ‘crime’ of simply expressing what they believe to be true. In a sane world, the urgent need for alternative platforms like Truth Social wouldn’t exist. But we don’t live in a sane world, do we? Instead, we find ourselves...

Sen. Ted Cruz Full Speech at CPAC 2022 in Orlando

However the conflict in Ukraine now unfolds, it has already revealed how deeply and extensively America’s ruling factions have failed. For many, the revelation is a shock; for many others, an all too accurate forecast come true—and a long-delinquent bill come due. Every faction vying for control of our country shares in responsibility for the present situation and everything that will come with it. Neoliberals, convinced “soft” economic power could be used to weave a “rules-based international order” that would pacify the world, refused to recognize the flaws and shortcomings of their approach, rooted in an optimism that careened from...
