Conservatives have a new, profound voice to go around    and take down the media like never before. Overcoming the    liberal chokehold of the liberal mainstream media, we the    conservatives, the constitutionalists, the consistent    libertarians are punching away at the stale, imposing media    narrative. We got tired of hearing how great Barack Obama was,    especially when Breitbart, Townhall.com, and the rest reported    how untrue the narrative turned out to be.  <\/p>\n<p>    Besides, when illegal aliens have taken your job or killed your    kid, there is no amount of media-driven propaganda that can    regain your trust or assure your confidence in the liberal    talking points.  <\/p>\n<p>    Social medias bane has become more prominent, too, and in ways    that I had never expected. First, let me address the rising    Anti-Semitism. I frequently post pro-Israel statements on my    media profiles. I do not apologize for being a Zionist, and a    vocal supporter of the only stable democracy in the Middle    East. Enduring the Obama Administration, I wished that Benjamin    Netanyahu were my president. Fortunately, President Trump has    forged a renewed, stronger relationship with Israel.  <\/p>\n<p>    Today, social media explodes with anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist    hate more frequently than I care to admit. One of my tweets    about Israel induced a unique firestorm of anti-Zionist hate.    The hate I have witnessed on social media against Jews is    pretty appalling. At Politicon    2017, Ben Shapiro had to address this disconcerting trend.    At least we could talk about it, but the hatred of Jews and the    attacks on Israel are getting heated and more prevalent. Why?    Anonymity and efficiency to spread ones message could not be    easier because of social media. Should we block it? In my    opinion, no. The best defense to false or inflammatory speech    is  more speech.  <\/p>\n<p>    Which brings me to the other threat looming over media:    censorship. Twice in one week I have been blocked from posting    on my Facebook profile. What?! Whats worse, Latinos for Trump    like Harim Uzziel and Robert Latino Heat Herrera have been    routinely blocked from posting their Facebook Live videos,    articles, and other daily observations. Why? Illegals and their    law-abiding amnesty-pandering supporters were reporting their    posts, then getting them blocked. Latinos who support Trump    detonate the left-wing narrative that opposition to illegal    immigration is racist.     Uzziel, an outspoken and outstanding Latino for Trump in    LA, California, and perhaps even the country--is also Jewish,    and proudly so. Are these attacks anti-Semitic, too?  <\/p>\n<p>    The same censorship applies to Islam. Pamela    Gellers Facebook page was shut down, then brought back    following a large outcry. On the other hand, a close friend of    mineanother Latina for Trump in Los Angeles--reported    a Facebook page whose title read as follows: Mexican Pride    Group: Kill All White People. The response she received from    Facebook? The Community Standards review determined that there    was nothing wrong. Really. If you dont believe me, read the    attached photo (see above).  <\/p>\n<p>    This ongoing censorship and repression of different points of    view is not new, but only now is the growing, effective    conservative movement taking note and fighting back. First    Twitter came for Charles Johnson of GotNews.com. Then they took    down Milos verified blue checkmark. Then Milos Twitter feed    was suspended for good over a media battle discussing the    crappy feminist version of The Ghostbusters. A meandering    movie that got poor ticket sales and no reviews led to Free    Speech provocateur     Milo Yiannopoulos Twitter-demise.  <\/p>\n<p>    And it has gotten worse. Hunter Avallone of Maryland, a    post-Millennial taking on the liberal-progressive Pharisees of    our day, lost his Twitter handle, too. Paul Joseph Watson,    Dennis Prager, and others have reported the subtle censorship    of their YouTube videos. Watsons latest    report outlines YouTubes officious oversight with the    left-wing Anti-Defamation League, which has deemed Pepe the    Frog an anti-Semitic symbol.  <\/p>\n<p>    Have we forgotten the leading conservative media lights who met    with Facebook leaders to confront their media bias? The    conservatives approached the meeting with intentions of    negotiating some standard of fairness. So much for that    approach. Now social media censorship has gotten dangerously    close to home. For the past month and a half, Ive worked    freelance as a guerrilla journalist with Joshua Caplan through    Vessel News. Ive gone places with Facebook Live, exposing    illegal alien town halls hosted by our own federal officials,    including    Congressman Lou Correa of Santa Ana, CA, as well as raucous    events in city council meetings and during Trump supporter    celebrations.  <\/p>\n<p>    Now Caplan reports that his viewership reach has been cut down    because other Facebook pages are losing their own reach and    influence. Caplan had agreements with other Facebook page news    sites, but they have recently cut the contracts since Facebook    is coming down hard on them. Add to The Gateway Pundits lament    about Facebook throttling Jim    Hofts potential reading traffic, you can tell that    Facebook has become Fascist-Book.  <\/p>\n<p>    Within the last 24 hours, I learned that Dinesh DSouzas own    Facebook was compromised, scuttling his outreach as well as the    sales of his new book The Big Lie, exposing the totalitarian    tendencies of the American Progressive Movement, which    infiltrated the Democratic Party leading up to President    Franklin Delano Roosevelts administration. They also inspired    the Nazis under Adolf Hitler. Of course, this very serious    message accompanied that latest update from DSouza: Ive been    hearing of this happening to a lot of people, though most often    its Facebook itself taking their pages down.  <\/p>\n<p>    Pretty heavy stuff. For decades, the Saul Alinsky approach of    shaming conservatives had successfully silenced the Right. Now    that we are bolder than ever to speak, the Regressive Left is    working overtime to suppress freedom of speech. If not through    violence or the passage of draconian anti-free speech    ordinances, they can pressure or assume the leadership over    these multi-media platforms and shut down dissent and    discourse. Enough. The next leg of the New Right, New Tea Party    fight means targeting and taking on these social media    platforms. We cannot afford to lose, since we have gained so    much already.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/arthurschaper\/2017\/08\/04\/antisocial-media-antisemitism-and-censorship-on-the-rise-n2364185\" title=\"Anti-Social Media: Anti-Semitism and Censorship on the Rise - Townhall\">Anti-Social Media: Anti-Semitism and Censorship on the Rise - Townhall<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> | Posted: Aug 04, 2017 12:01 AM Social media has become the boon and the bane of our political culture.
