CNN’s Reliable Sources anchor Brian Stelter slobbered over the leftist website ratings firm NewsGuard as some sort of paragon of journalistic virtue. Stelter fawned in a Jan. 16 blog how NewsGuard announced that its business was “reliable enough to turn a profit.” But here was the senseless part: “Although there are many quibbles with specific rulings about certain sites, the results are directionally reliable, distinguishing global newsrooms that try to report fairly from fly-by-night sites that publish propaganda with no regard for reality.” Nope. A recent study by MRC revealed that NewsGuard’s ratings system, which scores websites on a zero...

A meteorologist known for smacking down the sensationalism of eco-fanatics said his website was demonetized by censorship giant Google. University of Alabama, Huntsville Principal Research Scientist Dr. Roy Spencer posted a blog on his website Jan. 7 saying that he had been demonetized for “unreliable and harmful claims.” This meant, according to Spencer, that he could “no longer generate revenue to support the website using the Google Adsense program.” Spencer noted that he was getting “Google warnings for a couple months now about ‘policy violations’, but nowhere was it listed what pages were in violation, and what those violations were.”...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla appeared in a video with Yahoo Finance's Anjalee Khemlani to discuss covid vaccines, boosters, and Omicron. During the discussion Bourla observed that "we know that the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any." He went on to recommend that people take more doses. This nonsensical recommendation is made even more absurd by a leaked Pentagon document indicating that the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as treatments for covid were known to government health officials in May of 2020. Khemlani asked Bourla for his reaction to this. "Yeah, we all knew the efficacy...

Presented by CVS Health Good Thursday morning. Press like — Gov. Ron DeSantis, more than three months ago, directed Secretary of State Laurel Lee to launch an investigation into a Facebook program that could have given incumbent politicians “an advantage over challengers” — a charge first outlined in a September article on the social media giant by The Wall Street Journal. Update — So how’s that going? … well… um… Status quo — It would appear there is nothing going on with this probe. Pressed repeatedly for answers, Mark Ard, a spokesman for Lee, said this week in an email...

Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has been suspended by YouTube for questioning "mask fascists." The Bongino Report announced on Twitter on Friday that the platform suspended Bongino for violating the site's COVID-19 misinformation policy. "YouTube just suspended Dan's channel for daring to question the mask fascists. I guess they were waiting for an apology from us. But that's not quite how it worked out for them. Here's Dan's email to 'Coco' at YouTube telling them to plant a big wet kiss on his ass," The Bongino Report tweeted Friday.

YouTube took action against conservative commentator Dan Bongino’s channel Friday, suspending it for violating the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy and demonetizing it for at least 30 days. The weeklong posting suspension stems from a video where Bongino said that masks are “useless” in stopping the spread of the disease. YouTube’s COVID-19 policy specifically prohibits content denying the effectiveness of wearing masks, which the vast majority of the scientific community agrees reduces the risk of infection. The video was Bongino’s first “strike” under the policy, resulting in a one-week suspension from posting.

resident Joe Biden delivered another one of those COVID-19 speeches Thursday morning. It was the languid Joe today, more reminiscent of a Franklin Roosevelt fireside chat than the absurdly torrid speech he delivered in Atlanta this week that would have made the always bombastic Louisiana Gov. Huey Long appears placid. Biden may think he’s doing an excellent job at playing the good cop, bad cop routine, but in both roles he not only appears unhinged, but always struggling to grasp the issue at hand. Thursday was no exception. Biden gently chided the unvaccinated whom he continues to blame for the...

Joe Rogan really set off the left when he had on Dr. Robert Malone as his guest on the show. The episode was nothing short of eye-opening. Malone, one of the fathers of the modern vaccine, divulged information on everything from the COVID-19 vaccine, insider baseball within the medical community, and how the government uses politics to make the coronavirus profitable. As a person who listened to it myself, I can tell you that it’s a must-hear.However, not everyone wants you to sit and listen to Dr. Malone, and in fact, would like to have Rogan censored in order to...

..Facebook restricted Headline of the Day after they posted this information:..

In an article last February headlined "Do Facebook, Twitter and YouTube censor conservatives? Claims 'not supported by the facts,' new research says," USA Today's Jessica Guynn wrote, "Despite repeated charges of anti-conservative bias from former President Donald Trump and other GOP critics, Facebook, Twitter and Google's YouTube are not slanted against right-leaning users, a new report out of New York University found." Guynn quoted Paul Barrett, deputy director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, who said: "Republicans, or more broadly conservatives, have been spreading a form of disinformation on how they're treated on social media. They...

The left-wing media’s Ministry of Truth — website ratings firm NewsGuard — is at it again, slamming conservative news outlets while promoting liberal rags. And conservative leaders are furious. The firm’s report headlined, “Special Report: The U.S. Best and Worst of 2021,” claimed to “identify the misinformation websites with the most online engagement in 2021 in the United States.” In addition, NewsGuard alleged, “We also highlight a selection of the trustworthy sites that are producing reliable journalism, including for local and niche markets.” NewsGuard had two lists sub-headlined “The Ten Most Influential Misinformers” and “The Ten Top ‘Trustworthy and Trending’...

YouTube’s censorship overlords suspended MRCTV for posting a video that dared to highlight government officials’ garbled messaging on COVID-19 guidance. MRCTV Managing Editor Brittany Hughes’ Jan. 3 video, “Enjoy Your Covid Hysteria, Libs - But Leave The Rest Of Us Alone,” dissected the hysteria surrounding the omicron COVID-19 variant. Hughes remarked that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci incoherently “says that even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, you should only go out and about if you’re sure that everyone around you is also vaccinated and boosted because omicron is so contagious that even vaccinated and...

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings (as said by Tyrion Lannister) The recent social media banishment of Dr. Robert Malone, a Covidstan dissident who likely presented more of a threat than our Big Tech overlords were willing to stomach thanks to his expertise and contribution to the development of mRNA technology, has again brought leftist censorship to the forefront of the public consciousness. Malone, who joined other prominent figures like feminist author Naomi Wolf,...

In honor of the January 6 incursion into the Capitol, Former President Barack Obama released a statement asserting that "one year ago a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. In the November 2020 election more than 81 million votes were cast for Joe Biden. Rather than accepting this ringing endorsement for the person voters wanted to rule them for the next four years, Republicans are still working to torpedo his agenda." "As the last year has demonstrated, the average American has supported the President by obeying his request...

If that’s the case, it should worry us all because the phenomenon was the predecessor event to many of the 20th century's worst dictatorships. Have you, like me, struggled to figure out how we have arrived at such a horrific impasse in society? Dr. Robert Malone may have the answer—mass formation. Here’s what I understand that to mean. 2022 sees so many liars, as well as others with their heads firmly glued to their social media devices, paying no mind to reality. Most people just swallow without a murmur the cacophony of propaganda that oligarchs, techies, newsies, pols, and “scientists”...

Facebook has "permanently disabled" the ads account of a conservative children's book publisher, claiming that Heroes of Liberty – which has published books about Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, former President Ronald Reagan and author Thomas Sowell – violated the company's rules against "Low Quality or Disruptive Content." Facebook originally locked the ads account on Dec. 23, and after Heroes of Liberty appealed the ruling, the company permanently disabled the account. "The question is: is a children's biography of Ronald Reagan no longer permissible on Facebook? We don’t know. But apparently promoting one may well kill a business," Heroes...

Facebook has suspended the page of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an action that came fast on the heels of Twitter permanently banning the Republican congresswoman’s account. Rep. Greene decried Facebook’s actions in a post on Gab.com, the free speech friendly social network, accusing them of censoring her for critical commentary on the Vaccine Averse Reactions System (VAERS), the official system for reporting negative vaccine side-effects to the government. “This is beyond censorship of speech,” said Rep. Greene. “I’m an elected Member of Congress representing over 700,000 US tax paying citizens and I represent their voices, values, defend their freedoms,...

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA) said on Sunday that Twitter’s permanent ban on Republican Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (GA) is “a little too late” and that it’s a good thing her voice was taken “out of the mix.” As Landon covered, Greene’s personal Twitter account was permanently suspended from Twitter on Sunday over her “repeated violations” of the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy. "We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy,"...
