Ben Shapiro:
[1] We are FIVE DAYS out from the election and the coordinated media hit from The New York Times and Washington Post is here!
[2] Indeed, just hours apart, the two most "prestigious" legacy media newspapers in the country have released pieces attempting to quash dissemination of conservative media. Both pieces are trash.
[3] The New York Times, of course, argues on the basis of Media Matters (!) "research" that YouTube is essentially making money off election denialism.
[4] So, what is the grave threat identified by Media Matters and The New York Times? In my case, the threat is that I said that Democrats "rigged" voting rules in 2020 in order to increase mail-in voting and ballot harvesting. Which, of course, isn't misinformation. It's true.
[5] But according to the Times, YouTube ought to take down shows like mine. Otherwise, they're apparently profiteering off the grave evil of conservative viewpoints being disseminated. To the credit of YouTube, they've said "none of the 286 videos violated its community guidelines."
[6] It's a pathetic hit piece. But The Washington Post piece is even worse. In that piece, the Post claims that podcasts are RUINING AMERICA!
[7] What is my particular sin? Apparently, the sin is…I hosted Donald J. Trump, former and likely future president of the United States. Which is Very Bad.
[8] Their conclusion? You guessed it: SHUT IT ALL DOWN. We need to regulate podcasts (in violation of the First Amendment, obviously).
[9] So, there you have it: the two most "prestigious" newspapers in the country, just hours apart, calling for censorship of dissenting media. These are the supposed guardians of the free press and free speech. What a joke they are. A dangerous joke.
[10] This is just one giant reason why Kamala Harris and her apparatchiks cannot retain power. Kamala wants to shut down opposition media. Tim Walz says as much. And the legacy media want the same thing. The Democratic-Media Human Centipede must be destroyed. Voting for Trump is the first step toward doing just that.
