Today, YouTube suspended and demonetized the channel of conservative firebrand Dan Bongino. According to Bongino’s response to the YouTube representative handling the case, which we’ll cover in a moment, his channel was nuked for questioning the efficacy of masks. That seems especially egregious given the overwhelming amount of evidence that masks have been largely ineffective in suppressing the spread of COVID-19 in communities across the globe. Further, even many coronavirus hawks are now admitting they simply aren’t a solution against Omicron, though, various compilations of real-world data never really showed them to be effective prior either. Returning to Bongino, he...

An international network of so-called “fact-checking” organizations funded by massive liberal organizations called on YouTube to censor more content the network disagrees with. The leftist International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), a project of the Poynter Institute, published an open letter whining that YouTube “is allowing its platform to be weaponized by unscrupulous actors to manipulate and exploit others, and to organize and fundraise themselves.” In the IFCN’s draconian view, “Current measures are proving insufficient.” IFCN exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to decry how “destructive disinformation and misinformation can be for social harmony, democracy, and public health; too many lives and livelihoods have...

Senator Rand Paul ripped the “snot-nosed” censors at YouTube on social media over the weekend; blasting the platform for labeling his comments as “misinformation” despite recent scientific data showing the Republican was initially correct. “Does this mean snot-nosed censors at YouTube will come to my office and kiss my … and admit I was right?” posted Paul on Twitter. The Senator was referencing a recent article from the New York Times. “The C.D.C. concedes that cloth masks do not protect against the virus as effectively as other masks,” blared the headline.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul hit back at YouTube "censors" on Saturday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged that cloth masks do not work as well against the coronavirus as N95 makes. The Kentucky Republican wondered if YouTube would be apologizing for suspending him earlier this year for saying the same thing. "Does this mean snot-nosed censors at YouTube will come to my office and kiss my … and admit I was right?" Paul wrote. In August, YouTube suspended Paul over a three-minute video questioning the effectiveness of cloth masks, which several studies have shown are not effective...

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.

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...

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...

Grammy-nominated Five For Fighting singer John Ondrasik said his new music video that shows footage of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan has been censored and removed by YouTube. A search for the song on the video service shows a lyric video and a still image video that plays the tune, called 'Blood on Your Hands,' but does not appear to feature the controversial video Ondrasik posted. The singer, best known for hits like Superman and 100 Years, announced the removal of the video - which features images of what he calls 'Taliban atrocities' - on his Twitter account.

Every year, people resolve to do things that are better for their health — quitting alcohol, processed food, toxic relationships. I have come to the realization that my relationship with YouTube is dysfunctional. Sure, I can get millions of views. But why should I allow anonymous “fact-checkers” to censor my fully sourced, fact-based content? They don’t want to challenge or debate me with opposing views, they just want my silence. Everyone complains about Big Tech. The Left says Big Tech doesn’t censor enough. The right complains that Big Tech censors too much already. Many in Congress, on the Left and...

I was about 1/3 of the way towards Robert Malone's Interview with Joe Rogan and decided to take a rest as the show was very long ( about 3 hours ). Malone, an expert in mRNA vaccine technologies who trained at UC Davis, UCSD and the Salk Institute, was suspended by Twitter with no explanation on Thursday. The suspension came after Malone was vilified by a hit piece in The Atlantic which was funded by Facebook and Johnson & Johnson. Popular Podcaster Joe Rogan, upon hearing about this, invited Dr. Malone to his show. At the start of the interview,...

There is no transcript of this video. There is a great interview with Dr. John Mather, who is the senior project scientist on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The Youtube is very well done in explaining the JWST, what it is designed to do, how it is supposed to work, and how it will be deployed and emplaced over the next month.

RED ALERT: this is not a joke. Elon Musk sat down with Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon, EIC Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle for an in-depth interview on wokeness, Elizabeth Warren, taxing the rich, the Metaverse, which superhero Elon would be, and how the left is killing comedy.

Conservative comedian Steven Crowder has been suspended by YouTube over a video on Elon Musk, which the platform claims contained content “glorifying or inciting violence.” Crowder announced the suspension of his ‘Louder with Crowder’ show on Wednesday and recommended viewers instead watch his show on Rumble, a streaming platform that has become popular with conservative pundits. This is not Crowder’s first suspension. In its message to the comedian, which Crowder posted on Twitter, YouTube claims that his Musk video “violates our hate speech policy.” The message goes on to say the decision was made to keep YouTube a “safe place.”...

The censorship overlords at YouTube have apparently continued their digital war with comedian and political commentator Steven Crowder. Crowder posted a purported snapshot of a notice from the liberal streaming platform informing him that it deleted his recent Louder with Crowder episode headlined, “The LEFT Hates Elon Musk Because He's Too Based!" The purported notice from YouTube said, "Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy." Crowder responded on Instagram, "Well well well… Rumble and #MugClub it is!! INCOMING!!! 10AM ET. #LwC." BlazeTV, where Crowder's show is streamed, released a statement Dec....

Has YouTube stopped counting 'dislikes' on videos from the White House? And on videos from MSM featuring Joe Biden, or Jen Psaki, or anyone from the administration? The 'like' counts aren't very high, but there are no 'dislikes,' and clicking on 'dislike' on a WP video gave a message like 'your feedback is appreciated' or something like that.

This is a long documentary that finally puts this to bed in my mind... I have followed this story for 50 years now and I think he deserves a Pulitzer prize for this video that pretty much shows that the whole story has been allowed to remain a mystery as an FBI coverup, because the truth would be embarrassing. I can't say any more without being a spoiler.D.B. Cooper Deep Family Secrets
