Corporate-controlled media bigwigs thought they could shut down the free press.
Then they got exactly what they had coming.
Now conservatives have scored a major win after the thought police made one outrageous move.
There was a time when American news outlets at every level at least maintained a façade of neutrality.
But that ship has sailed.
And the morning after Donald Trump was elected in 2016, the leftist press not only started to show its colors, it became downright militant.
Since then, alternative news sources have been popping up only to have corporate-controlled media team up with Big Tech to silence them.
But recently, Twitter went too far and came under all kinds of fire after they decided to absolutely shut down all links leading to new stories from the Epoch Times.
When Twitter users clicked one of the publication’s links they received this error: “The link you are trying to access has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe.”
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) quickly called out Twitter for its “outrageous act of censorship.”
Meanwhile, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) reminded everyone what was going on the last time the corporate-controlled media decided to bury the real news.
“Twitter is censoring @EpochTimes under the guise of ‘unsafe’ speech,” Senator Johnson wrote. “Remember what happened the last time corporate media and big tech tried to censor my investigation on Hunter Biden corruption? The truth always prevails.”
Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough then piled on with his own two cents.
“Twitter hemorrhaging evidence of CDC collusion, malfeasance, and suppression of free speech is found to be censoring leading news outlet Epoch Times,” Dr. McCullough added. “As more censorship happens audiences are further drawn to those sources of information for the truth. Keep it up Twitter!”
It’s possible Twitter executives finally figured out that McCullough’s opinion was spot on.
Less than a week after they completely shut down all Epoch Times content, the social media giant suddenly let up, with links seemingly working again as if a switch was magically flipped.
The sheer arrogance of the social media platform is truly stunning, but one thing is for sure – Twitter can’t afford to lose a single legitimate user.
For all its bravado, the company is apparently a mere shell of what it has presented itself to the world as.
In fact, Elon Musk recently backed out of a deal to purchase the company after Twitter refused to provide the relevant information and access needed to verify that 95% of all active Twitter accounts are actual, real humans, as Twitter has contended in order to rake in advertising dollars and keep their sinking stock price afloat.
What nobody is talking about, though, is the fact that if corporate-controlled media companies want to stay in business, they need to start taking a few pointers from new, thriving alternative media sources.
After all, few people want to spend their free time watching “news” organizations that have clearly morphed into propaganda machines.
