Every Democrat and media flak is calling Donald Trump and his supporters Nazis. TV pundits are quite literally saying that Trump will set the military after dissidents and put them in camps, or even execute them. 

Medhi Hasan was literally calling Trump a Nazi when Ryan Girdusky, in a fit of anger at the slander, shot back: I hope your beeper doesn't go off. 

The point @RyanGirdusky was making was transparently obvious: if every Trump voter is a Nazi, the same logic would allow calling Mehdi Hasan a Hizbullah terrorist. So they had to fire Girdusky because to do otherwise would be to acknowledge he had a point. https://t.co/j2kmvgIAw5

I don't think Hasan is a literal member of Hamas; he is just Hamas adjacent, flogging their propaganda whenever he can. He uses their talking points, repeats their bogus numbers of civilian casualties, and is clearly antisemitic-adjacent. The jibe was a bit nasty, but Hasan was nastier. 

Nazis started a war that killed 80 million people and was responsible for the Holocaust. Hurling the Nazi slur is beyond disgusting, and labeling half of America Nazis should be out of bounds. 

But everybody at CNN is fine with that. Girdusky's jibe? So outside the bounds that they kicked him off the air and banned him from CNN. 

if she is shaken by that comment, she needs therapy. What Ryan said was actually very tame for what Mehdi deserves. she’s emotional because she knows that her leftist terrorist sympathizer buddy has been humiliated as he should’ve been. https://t.co/H9cqQtJdod

Hasan aligns himself with people who carry Hamas flags, shout antisemitic slurs, cry "From the River to Sea," which is a call for genocide, and many of whom actually admire Hitler and say so. 

That is all fine because Jews are "colonists," we are told. 

When Mehdi Hasan calls a Jew a Nazi, that’s debate.

When someone calls Mehdi Hasan a terrorist, that’s Islamophobia.

Hasan knows he can get away with this because the left loves revolutionaries, and the media promotes their propaganda. Just as he knows that calling Trump and his supporters Nazis is seen as fair game. It's not at all outside the bounds of civil discourse because Trump deserves to die in jail. 

Kamala Harris trots out actors to endorse her, when such actors say things like this:

Robert De Niro calls for Trump to “die” in prison.

CNN anchors literally shake in horror that a guest calls out a terror supporter for supporting terror. "You can't say that!" If you do, you, too are a Nazi who should be banned. Hasan is OUR terrorist-adjacent guy!

Those same anchors amplify slanders so horrible that no sane person should be platformed by a major media outlet for saying them. They belong with Nick Fuentes on social media screaming into a microphone. 

So CNN is fine with Mehdi Hasan calling Trump and the Jews literal Nazis on hundreds of occasions but they have banned @RyanGirdusky from the entire network for making a pager joke that they deemed “hateful”

Ryan Girdusky is far from the hateful person here. https://t.co/9FXjxkT9Hw pic.twitter.com/dV0MiWogMb

By now, we all know that CNN and the so-called "mainstream media" are all in on pushing leftist propaganda. They will allow any slander of Republicans and suppress any criticism of The Narrative™. It is a miracle that they allow Scott Jennings on, but he is usually in a five-on-one fight to get his message out. 

Mollie Hemingway has a bombshell story out about her experience on CNN, where she rebuts Jake Tapper's absurd claim that he and CNN didn't promote the Russia collusion hoax. We all know that the claim is absurd on its face, but Hemingway reveals that her first clue that the Steele Dossier was fake was an off-air conversation she witnessed.

Ed calls the media the "protection racket" media; I call it Pravda. But it amounts to much the same thing: they are tools to keep people in line. You and I are the marks, and they try to be the con men who convince us to believe the bulls**t they are selling. It is their most powerful tool in the toolbox: hoaxes. 

Tapper isn't stupid. He is actually quite intelligent, which makes him more guilty than the harridans of The View. He knows what he is doing, and it makes me sad. I think he believes he is serving America by keeping the "bad" people out of power. He is like the Climate Change hoaxers who spread falsehoods about hurricanes and wildfires because they truly believe that something bad is happening, and the only way to get people to act is to lie constantly. 

The moral rot in our elite is beyond measure. On the one hand that is dispiriting; on the other hand, rotten tree trunks tend to fall over. The American people are waking up to the rotten nature of our elite media and distrust them more than even politicians. 

Unfortunately, if we lose this election the censorship complex will win. The rotten media is what we all will have left, except for a few brave outlets willing to withstand the slander, demonetization, harassment, and demonization. 

Addendum from Ed: Speaking of independent media platforms, this shows just how dangerous our competitive environment is now. The Protection Racket Media has now gone on the attack to silence us through de-platforming and advertiser intimidation, with the collusion of Big Tech and its opaque algorithm manipulations. 

The mainstream media has transformed itself into the propaganda arm of the Left, and they work hard to intimidate advertisers and pressure Big Tech into choking off access to competing points of view. We hope we can gather as many allies as possible to keep all of these issues in the public square – and indeed to preserve the public square at all.
