Mainstream media bias and censorship
The fake news business: Reporters tell me the truth off the record, Jon Rappoport, DC Clothesline, January 24, 2017.
The ‘News’ Media as We Knew It Is Finished, by Barry Casselman, American Thinker, January 15, 2016:
Self-communicating and self-congratulatory, the establishment media had little idea of how perilous their public standing was. By overplaying their hand in the autumn of 2016, they brought the whole media credibility issue to its threshold.
The media establishment did have one major clue to their fundamental problem: falling ratings, falling circulation, falling advertising. Their response has been to interpret these phenomena as simply a problem of technology, including the rise of the internet and social media. The icons of the golden age of news reporting such as The New York Times; the Washington Post; and the major TV, cable, and radio networks are today often caricatures of news reporting. They survive only because their primary audiences are in large urban centers, where their bias coincides with their readers, listeners, and viewers. For this reason, they cannot go back to fair and balanced news reporting – because their own economic bases will not let them. Outside these urban pockets, their national credibility is gone…
[New era of journalism: People against the gatekeepers](https://www.rt.com/op-edge/346219-rt-journalism-new-era/), Neil Clark, [RT](https://www.rt.com/), June 10, 2016:
Speaking from London, Julian Assange said that freedom of expression on Twitter was under threat from both the right on grounds of “anti-terrorism/ anti-extremism” and the “identity politics left” who are attempting to censor views they deem to be offensive. He said he was not as optimistic as others who had spoken at the conference on how new forms of media can help defeat censorship, noting how Internet giant Google was “heavily integrated” with Washington power “at personal level and at business level…
The media censors the news by simply not reporting it, Assange said…
…Argentina’s new right-wing US State Department friendly government had suspended RT Spanish and Venezuela’s TeleSUR from free-view transmission.
Will this brazen act of political censorship, described by one Argentinian commentator as an “all-out psychological onslaught on all of Latin America”, be fiercely attacked by western anti-censorship groups who claim to support media pluralism? I [Neil Clark] fear that Harold Pinter’s “It Never Happened even while it was happening” theory will once again prove to be correct.
[Mohammed, Islamic History, and the Bloody Future of the West](http://realfactsmedia.com/mohammed-and-islam/), Real Facts Media, March 22, 2016:
- These “terrorists do not represent Islam” and
- We are a multicultural society that welcomes Muslim immigration
And yet, that inner voice deep down inside you remains… Because your inner voice is correct.

Social media bias and censorship
Facebook’s censoring of truth, Pamela Geller, World Net Daily, January 26, 2017:
Now you can’t even criticize leftist political figures? This has to stop, and our lawsuit means to stop it. We are challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides immunity from lawsuits to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, thereby permitting these social-media giants to engage in government-sanctioned censorship and discriminatory business practices free from legal challenge…
In order for us to sue Facebook (which is our intent), we first need to knock out this federal immunity statute. Our lawsuit is therefore against the federal government. We knock out the immunity, and then we can sue Facebook, Twitter and YouTube…

What is hateful, obscene and threatening is that Facebook is moving to silence everyone who speaks honestly about the motivating ideology behind such attacks…
Orlando showed jihad for what it is. They’re committed to obscuring that knowledge and making sure people remain ignorant and complacent about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat…
They are blocking and banning me now, especially now, when people are looking past the media myths provided by terror-tied groups like Hamas-CAIR…
