This is what fascism looks like.
I understand FOX followed suit. No surprise there. FOX has been moving center since Rupert’s leftwing sons took the helm after booting Roger Ailes. The right has no major media outlet.
Facebook has completely shutdown the right. I have tried to boost numerous posts. All have been denied. All.

Washington DC (CNN): Facebook has stopped the Trump campaign from running its racist anti-immigration commercial as an ad on the site.
“This ad violates Facebook’s advertising policy against sensational content so we are rejecting it. While the video is allowed to be posted on Facebook, it cannot receive paid distribution,” Facebook said in a statement Monday afternoon.
The move came shortly after NBC and Fox News said they would stop airing the ad across their networks. CNN had previously determined that the ad is racist and declined to sell airtime for it.
The Trump campaign began running the ad on Facebook on Sunday, targeting voters in Florida and Arizona. By Monday morning, it had reached millions of users on the platform.
A Facebook spokesperson said the ad had been allowed to run in error.
According to data from Facebook’s ad archive, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. spent at least $20,000 and possibly as much as $80,000 on the ad buy.
The ad tries to motivate GOP turnout by playing on fears of the migrants traveling through Mexico.
“We have Community Standards that outline what is and isn’t allowed on Facebook. However, when it comes to ads on Facebook, we have a higher set of standards for what can run in an ad. Our Advertising Policies are more restrictive because they take paid distribution. Under our Community Standards, this video is allowed to be posted on Facebook,” the spokesperson said.
Facebook’s ad problem
Facebook’s reversal on the spot is another misstep from a company that pledged to improve its handling of political ads.
In 2016, a Russian group ran ads targeting American voters in the lead up to the presidential election. The company has since introduced disclaimers on political ads that are supposed to show who paid for them.
But last week, Vice News, posing as a political ad-buyer, got approval from Facebook to run ads in the name of every single one of the US’ 100 senators. Vice News did not end up buying the ads. This came after Vice News had previously received approval from Facebook to run ads “Paid for” by Islamic State and Vice President Mike Pence.
Separately, CNN Business found one advertiser breaking Facebook’s rules twice in one week. Facebook missed both violations and only acted in both instances after CNN inquired about it.

FOX News Will No Longer Run Trump Caravan Ad (Murdoch is an OPEN BORDERS guy)
The Fox News Channel has pulled a Trump-approved campaign advertisement about the migrant caravan marching towards the U.S. border after CNN and other left-wing media figures labeled it “racist.”
“Upon further review, Fox News pulled the ad yesterday and it will not appear on either Fox News Channel or Fox Business Network,” ad sales executive Marianne Gambelli told Mediaite.
NBC also said Monday that “after further review,” it will stop airing President Trump’s campaign advertisement that includes footage of Luis Bracamontes, a twice-deported immigrant from Mexico sentenced to death in California for killing two police officers.

Ya I’m pretty shocked that even Fox News now are behaving like the fascist Leftists. There’s nothing racist about that ad, it is showing how dangerous some of the invaders from Mexico and South America are.
This is the same tactic used by evil Leftists in Europe to flood the nations with millions of invaders from Islamic countries and Africa. As a result we know that thousands of European girls have been raped and many citizens have been killed.
To this day they are covering up these stories and jailing/censoring critics of their policies. That is the behavior of dictators and they are laying the groundwork for civil war. America should avoid the same occurring on their land.

ALARMING Video From Mexico Gives Scale for “Third Wave” of Central American Migrants…
Posted on November 5, 2018 by sundance
…
Estimates from U.S. media have repeated a “few thousand”, up to “seven thousand.” However, Mexican media initially put the numbers much higher, upward of FOURTEEN THOUSAND in the FIRST wave. … Since that October 22nd report, there have been TWO more waves, or ‘caravans‘ reported, entering Mexico’s southern border region. With the U.S. media now trying to DOWNPLAY the scale…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/11/05/alarming-video-from-mexico-gives-scale-for-third-wave-of-central-american-migrants/
The first wave was estimated on October 22nd, at 14,000.
The second wave crossed into Mexico last week around October 29th/30th (unknown number, but less than first).
The ‘third wave’ video appears to be at least as large as the first wave from October 22nd.
You may need to go here to the ABOVE link to see and play all the videos. THIS IS AN INVASION!

Facebook, Twitter, Google and all social media sites must be forced to comply with the 1st Amendment. We cannot allow such sites to discriminate against people or parties they don’t like. Their job is to provide a fair equal platform for everyone to freely communicate and not pick and choose who we as adults are allowed to vote for.
I’m just surprised that Trump hasn’t done anything about this still. FB is a threat to western democracy-it is Fascism under the guise of Liberalism. No censorship should be tolerated either from the Left/Liberals or the Right/Conservatives.
All voices should be heard. We don’t want to end up like Europe or the mideast where freedoms esp speech are greatly curtailed, that’s the road to tyranny and slavery.

Exactly, Sessions is probably hiding under his desk. Hopefully Trump will find someone better (to replace Sessions) who gets things done and finally deal with this censorship problem.

I feel terrible for Trump. He is working his tail off with little help and surrounded by vipers.
He seems to be the kind of guy though, that when confronted with adversary, he triples down. Others would have caved a long time ago. I am grateful for what ever Trump can do under these circumstances.

True, Trump is working under a lot of pressure and has enemies on all sides including his own party. He needs to replace people who are disloyal or who don’t share his vision with individuals that do.
He’s done great things so far but I feel he only goes half-way, like with Iran. I think he should back up the sanctions with the threat of military force.
We all know the Mullahs are a bunch of terrorists, we should be bombing them to oblivion but he’s being held back by the traitors on the Left and cowardly Republicans.
Though I’m perplexed by his weakness on confronting the fascist social media sites, I’m still hopeful he’ll do something substantial to deal with this very serious issue.

Trump is prioritizing. Midterm winning is more important. If he had a COMPETENT ENERGIZED AG, we would not be in this situation. Trump can’t do it all and the little that Jeff does seems to be in slow motion. Sessions is such a disappointment.

GOODBYE FOX. Cancelling an ad which is true shows total cowardice. The sons of Murdoch have succeeded in driving away one of their most faithful and longest viewers. Trump is right . the integrity of the media is totally gone. Now it’s PC which enables Murders to flourish from Muslims and illegals .Will it take an all out war to wake people up . I remember this same attitude before WWII. It’s a scary feeling.

That’s why OANN is the ONLY news network worth watching! And anyone without DirecTV can’t get it, so they need to call their TV providers and DEMAND that channel! It is COMPLETELY truthful 100% of the time and does NOT lean left like Fox does!

If you mean you “stream” on your computer, I simply can’t do that, it’s far too uncomfortable for me. And CABLE TV doesn’t carry OANN, only DirecTV does. So cable and Dish both need to get with it!

1100 Migrants Apprehended Daily Along U.S.-Mexico Border, Say Feds
By Bob Price
11/5/18
Border Patrol agents apprehended an average of nearly 1,100 migrants along the U.S-Mexico Border every day in the past fiscal year. During the most recent month, that number jumped to nearly 1,400.
Border Patrol agents apprehended 396,579 illegal immigrants who crossed the border between ports of entry during the most recent fiscal year. This represents an average of 1,087 per day. Included in that number were 50,036 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) — 137 per day — and 107,212 Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) — 293.73 per day — officials reported.
Those numbers increased substantially during the final six months of the fiscal year. During that period, agents apprehended approximately 1,225 per day — a nearly 13 percent increase over the first six months of the year.
During the past six months, the average number of family units jumped to about 364 daily (an increase over the yearly average of 293), and the apprehension of unaccompanied minors jumped to 156 per day (an increase over the yearly average of 136).
The busiest sector along the U.S. southwest border is the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV). It averaged more than 40 percent of all border apprehensions in the nine southwest border sectors. The RGV Sector averaged about 445 migrant apprehensions per day, the report reveals (162,262 total). The sector reported apprehensions of nearly 60 percent (63,278) of all of the 107,212 FMUA apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico Border. It also accounted for nearly 50 percent (23,757) of all unaccompanied minor apprehensions. On average the RGV sector apprehended an average of more than 170 family units and 65 unaccompanied minors per day.
…
(These numbers will INCREASE sharply with CARAVANS coming!)

Report: Twitter Deleting Accounts at Request of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
By Lucas Nolan

Twitter has reportedly deleted as many as 10,000 accounts at the request of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, a party group that supports Democrats running for the U.S. House of Representatives.
…
The removal of the accounts is reportedly due to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) a party group that works to help Democrats running for the U.S. House of Representatives.

To show the media’s schizophrenia here, Fox reporter Griff Jenkins was embedded with the migrant caravan that is headed this way and was able to pluck some random jackwad from the throng who had been deported from South Carolina for attempted murder. And the ad demonstrating the dangers of throwing the border open to any and everybody lacks merit?
Go figure.

It’s the same as that wording about a tree falling in the wilderness, and no one around to see or hear it, so it did not happen. If they don’t run this video, then it did not happen.

A totally confusing story for anyone who reads for meaning: *The graphic has only a tenuous or nonexistent connection with the story, without more of an explanation.* The statement about Fox and the Murdoch boys is also left to blow about
in the wind and disconnected from the rest of the premise without more of an explanation. * The obvious confusion in the comments section reflects the overall incoherence of the article’s original premise… Please rewrite in a clearer, more connected vein…
