How @CNN and Other #FakeNews Media Are Now Working to Silence Dissent : The Other McCain
"Journalists or Activists?
CNN, Which Admitted They Were Responsible for Getting Alex Jones Deplatformed from YouTube, Apple, and FaceBook, Now Admits It’s Also Pressuring Twitter to Deplatform Him
This is shameful.
When I was working for The Washington Times, we did not seek to prevent the distribution of The Washington Post, nor during my years as a correspondent for The American Spectator have we ever sought to silence any competing publication.
Yet CNN and other so-called “mainstream” media operations are now actively engaged in a smear campaign intended to “de-platform” alternative voices online.

...And this is why I deplore the habit of people who, in opposing the suppression of someone like Alex Jones, feel an obligation to characterize him in a negative way, as if he is a special case in some way substantially different from those who are not (yet) de-platformed.
Is Alex Jones more “racist” than, say, Jordan Peterson or Charles Murray?
Is Alex Jones a “conspiracy theorist” in a way that, say, Jim Hoft or Pamela Geller are not?
Is Alex Jones more “controversial” than, say, Glenn Reynolds or Rush Limbaugh?
Do you see my point here?
...personally I have a hard time forgiving him for siccing a mob of his supporters on Michelle Malkin at the 2008 DNC in Denver.
Yet this is not why Alex Jones is being de-platformed now.
Rather, CNN and others on the Left are seeking to silence Alex Jones because he has been effective in calling attention to various facts that the Left desperately seeks to conceal from the general public. Please go read the entirely of the Ace of Spades post about this and ask yourself: “Who’s next?”
