CNN Pushes Cable Companies Stop Carrying Conservative Competitors

They didn’t stop at the confederate statues and the left won’t stop at just getting Trump off social media.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy & Brian Stelter are pushing cable companies to stop carrying OAN & Newsmax.

Stelter did a segment over the weekend with a former Facebook executive that advocated deplatforming influential conservatives as he basically equated conservatives with ISIS (and Stelter just nodded along in agreement).

Stelter brought on former Facebook chief security officer Alex Stamos who called for the deplatforming of “Conservative influencers” because they have “larger audience than daytime CNN."Of course, Stelter did not push back on Stamos demand that big tech suppress speech from one side.

Meanwhile, CNN’s Oliver Darcy is pressuring cable companies into dropping OAN and Newsmax.He’s even openly tweeting about it, writing “Just a reminder that neither @Verizon, @ATT, nor @comcasthave answered any questions about why they beam channels like OAN & Newsmax into millions of homes. Do they have any second thoughts about distributing these channels given their election denialism content? They won't say.”

The Associated Press has also gotten into the act and is demanding that big tech cancel more podcasts from their platform.

In an article titled “Podcasts rife with misinformation remain on social platforms like Apple and Google as extremists exploit a loophole left after the tech companies cracked down on other mediums”, AP “reporter” Tali Arbel makes the case from more deplatforming.

Arbel writes:

“Major social platforms have been cracking down on the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories in the leadup to the presidential election, and expanded their efforts in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But Apple and Google, among others, have left open a major loophole for this material: Podcasts.Podcasts made available by the two Big Tech companies let you tune into the world of the QAnon conspiracy theory, wallow in President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election and bask in other extremism. Accounts that have been banned on social media for election misinformation, threatening or bullying, and breaking other rules also still live on as podcasts available on the tech giants’ platforms.Conspiracy theorists have peddled stolen-election fantasies, coronavirus conspiracies and violent rhetoric. One podcaster, RedPill78, called the Capitol siege a “staged event” in a Jan. 11 episode of Red Pill News. The day before the Capitol riot, a more popular podcast, X22 Report, spoke confidently about a Trump second term, explained that Trump would need to “remove” many members of Congress to further his plans, and said “We the people, we are the storm, and we’re coming to DC.”Both are available on Apple and Google podcast platforms.”

So anything that the left deems “misinformation” must be eliminated and pushed further underground.
