Facebook has policies against violence and extremism, violations of which can lead to persons or groups being banned from its site. However, Facebook is clearly selective with this policy as the domestic terror group Antifa (and its member affiliates) has 119 pages on Facebook. Antifa engages in threats and violence against conservatives and Trump supporters all the time. In Portland (see p. 3), libertarian photojournalist Andy Ngo was severely beaten by Antifa thugs on June 29 and suffered a brain hemorrhage. Antifa doxxed and protested outside the home of ’ Tucker Carlson and cracked the front door of his house. Yet the group’s Facebook page is still active. Antifa thugs rioted in D.C. during the Trump inauguration, smashing store windows and cars. Other Antifa groups have posted items on Facebook urging people to “use a brick” to “egg a Nazi,” or stated, “Concrete milkshakes are our favorite flavor.” Antifa radicals often throw “milkshakes,” made with quick-drying cement, at conservatives. Nonetheless, this left- wing terrorist group is still allowed on Facebook. The online scrapbooking site Pinterest is also censoring conservatives. Eric Cochran, who had worked at Pinterest for two years, wrote in Newsweek that the company engaged in “covert censorship of pro-lifers, Christians and Conservatives.” He noted in particular that the pro-life group GET READY Live Action (3.3 million members) was “blocked by Pinterest” and then its account was permanently removed.

The radical, left-wing domestic terrorist “The attack on journalist Andy Ngo is not fake news, is not group Antifa (“anti-fascist”) has been attacking merely words that people claim is hurtful, but is a serious conservatives and Trump supporters since 2017, and violent crime.

A new MRC poll of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by McLaughlin and Associates in June, showed that 76% of conservatives do not trust Facebook “to treat all of its users equally, regardless of their

The poll had a margin of error run wild.” That seems fair and balanced. of +/- 3 percentage points.

No Free Speech! Proving that many liberal media do not believe in free speech when it comes to abortion, slammed the idea that Canadians could see the pro-life film Unplanned based on “freedom of expression laws.” Leftists had tried to ban the film in Canada but distributor Cineplex decided to screen the wildly successful U.S. movie. The Guardian, quoting the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC), complained that this decision was “based on money, not freedom of speech,” and was “publicly legitimizing anti-choice views.” The Guardian fretted that “anti-abortion sentiment is growing in Canada” and quoted Variety, which derided Unplanned as an “alarmist horror movie.” The news outlet also hysterically claimed the movie could incite hatred and violence against Canadian abortion providers, and quoted the ARCC as warning, “I know the clinics and sexual health centres in Canada are pretty worried about the movie. Basically they’re bracing for a wave of hate.” AUGUST 2019 5

n CNN’s April Ryan whines that Trump’s July 4 celebration is “about bolstering himself up, looking like a dictator from another nation or a time MINIBITS that’s forgot.” n MSNBC’s absurdly claims that Trump is practicing “deliberate cruelty to children with this hideous system” of “concentration camps … in order to scare brown people out of coming here.” n ’s Jamil Smith agrees, charging, “What we have right now is torture. What we have now is, essentially what you stated before, a Guantanamo Bay for children.” n NBC’s Chuck Todd jumps the shark on immigrant children, “It’s like they’re being held hostage.” n Citing no evidence, as usual, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski declares, “The truth’s already out: it’s come out of Trump’s mouth. He is corrupt.” n The Washington Post’s Margaret Sullivan laughably asserts, “I have not heard journalists talking” about impeachment, “I don’t think that journalists even really think that way.” n Max Boot, a Post columnist, dutifully replies, “I would say it’s not the media that’s pushing for impeachment. It’s reality that’s pushing for impeachment.” n CNN’s April Ryan slams Sarah Sanders: “You could not trust her. She suffers from liabetes.” n In the New York Times, Thomas Rogers writes that Communist East Journalists don’t think about impeaching Germany “still arouses nostalgia among some former citizens who fondly remember president Trump? its gender egalitarianism and social safety net or admire its utopian aspirations.” She’s got to be joking.

Great-Great BS In a desperate effort to smear Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for his opposition to reparations for slavery, NBC News traced his family history and reported that two of his great-great grandfathers had owned 14 slaves during the early 1800s. In addition to the news report, both NBC and MSNBC tweeted on July 9, “Senate Majority Leader McConnell, who said recently he opposes paying government reparations to descendants of Although a left-wing Antifa member tried American slaves, has family history deeply entwined in the issue: 2 of his to burn down a government building and great-great grandfathers were slave owners, U.S. census records show.” was shot by police, CBS and NBC completely When asked by a reporter about his great-great grandfathers and whether ignored the story. it would sway his position on reparations, McConnell rationally replied, “I find myself once again in the same position as President [Barack] Obama.
