Soros-funded Media Matters moves to force policy changes at social media giants to ban and silence conservative voices

49

The Soros-funded hate group Media Matters means to force policy changes at Tech Companies to silence and ban conservative news. Media Matters is getting desperate after the Democrats’ catastrophic defeat in 2016, which, of course, the left still hasn’t accepted and will probably never forget. These sinister forces are moving now to make sure it doesn’t happen again in 2018 by labeling everyone who dissents from the leftist agenda as “fake news” and banning them. The only voices that anyone will hear all through the campaign will be those of the leftist media.

If this isn’t stopped, it could be the end of our republic.

“Media Matters: Force Policy Changes at Tech Companies to Fight ‘Fake News,’” by Joe Schoffstall, Washington Free Beacon, April 19, 2018:

A group founded by liberal operative David Brock spoke of the need to force policy changes at Google, Facebook, and YouTube to combat the “proliferation” of “fake news” at the left’s largest dark money donor conference, according to an agenda obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Confidential documents previously obtained by the Free Beacon showed that Media Matters refers to right-leaning news sites when discussing “fake news” and that they had already consulted with a number of social media giants.

The Democracy Alliance, a secretive group of deep-pocketed donors who each push hundreds of thousands of dollars to progressive groups approved by the network, held their spring investment conference this week at the five-star InterContinental Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta.

Top Democrats such as Terry McAuliffe, who is often floated as a potential 2020 candidate for president, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, and billionaire “Need to Impeach” campaign leader Tom Steyer were in attendance.

The conference featured a heavy security presence and only members of the Democracy Alliance could enter the hallways where the sessions were being held. Free Beacon reporters, who were on site throughout the gathering, obtained the group’s agenda and other documents that shed light on their discussions at the event.

Media Matters President Angelo Carusone spoke on the “New Tactics for a New Challenge” panel at the conference where he was joined by Bradley Beychok, the president of American Bridge, another group founded and led by Brock.

Carusone spoke to Democracy Alliance members about forcing social media giants to change their policies to combat fake news.

“Media Matters President Angelo Carusone will describe the importance of mapping and understanding the fake news ecosystem and how forcing policy changes at Google, Facebook, and YouTube, can prevent the proliferation of fake news and suppressive tactics online in the lead up to the midterms,” the event’s description reads.

While Media Matters did not return a request for comment about what was said on the panel, the Free Beacon obtained confidential documents last year that laid out details on how the group would approach this agenda.

“Media Matters will continue our core mission of disarming right-wing information, while leading the fight against the next generation of conservative disinformation: The proliferation of fake news and propaganda now threatening the country’s information ecosystem,” the group’s documents read. “Utilizing our capacity as the nation’s premier progressive media watchdog and rapid-response research center, Media Matters will further increase our visibility in the ecosystem, strengthen the ability of our supporters and partners to influence it, and improve the infrastructure on which it rests.”

Within Brock’s agenda, Media Matters said that over the next four years the group would focus on exposing “serial misinformers and right-wing propagandists inhabiting everything from social media to the highest levels of government.”…

This is a basic essential policy of Trudeau’s M-103, submitted by Iraq Khalid, a Liberal terrorist supporter in Canada and a member of his shia government.

Soros needs to arrested, tried, and when convicted of numerous unAmerican activities jailed, stripped of his US citizenship, and his assets seized.

It’s called “sedition”…a Federal Crime…..and he funds 90% of all violent activity….like Occupy Wall Street….the Anti-Fa thugs with the black masks at rallies…..and most the of the Left’s anti-American activities …..BLM….SPLC….ACLU….and so on…..in the spring of 2016 he and Killary ponied up millions to hire 800 Muslim trolls….you will see them on Pamela Geller’s sit a lot.
It’s time for Trump to end Soros’ “dual citizenship” in America with Hungary…..who by the way are constantly investigating Soros’ NGOs in Hungary….
Four countries have banned him….the UK banned him when he broke the Bank of England by short selling their currency. Allegedly there is an arrest warrant out for him in Russia….for manipulating their currency.
I think it’s time for Vlad and Trump to have a private sit down talk….shortly after a Black Ops team swoops down and takes Soros and his two sons to a Siberian prison….never to be heard from again…..

I have only seen two of them trailing around behind him in the news….I do know he also has a daughter….never knew if she was married or not….but nothing is impossible…
I’ll put out this blanket thought….swoop down and take anyone associated with Soros….family or business…that would clean up so much misery in the world….the guy has his money and fingers all over the place….he is evil personified….

Are there not any Conservative billionaires who would take up the cause of fair, balanced processing and delivery of news? I do not comprehend why wealthy Conservatives have not bought up some major media companies.
I believe people are entitled to the truth without bias. I am no expert whatsoever, just a simple reader, but I do regularly read news from sites known to have a liberal slant, and I can easily pick up on their bias. It’s in the wording, in the stories they choose to run or not run.
Top security and at a five star location. They appear to live well, treat themselves fine.

The major issue is patents and trademarks. Google has been buying companies and then disposing of their hardware, but keeping the patents. In 2011, Google bought Motorola for more than $12 billion and sold it 3 years later for just $2.9 billion, but in the sale of Motorola to Lenovo, the patent library was not included in the sale. A conservative billionaire would likely run into major patent infringement issues.

They all do that. What you are referring to took place during the cell phone patent wars. Both Apple and Microsoft had endless patents and Google was forced to patent up to get Android into the market. There is nothing sinister about that.

Where are the Conservative valued equivalents of google, facebook and youtube? Can not those platforms be created by some up and coming yout? I’m pretty sure there’d be a customer base.

The major issue would be infringing on patents. Both Google and Facebook have been buying companies solely for their patents.

As we go through this process of learning how entrenched the far Left really is, we are also finding our how well funded they are. Their ranks are full of billionaires all subscribing to a far-Left Utopian world vision and system. It has advanced to a point where, short of Fox News (at times), that the only force available to end this downward moral spiral is the divine judgment of almighty God.

I left Fox News back during the Presidential Elections…..Rupert Murdoch put the running of Fox News in the hands of his two UBER-Left sons about five years ago…..they got rid of Ailes on phony sex charges and he died of the stress of it…..then they got rid of O’Reily….same identical Lefty charges….then Eric Bolling and others…..”sex scandals sells”….especially for the LEFT who themselves are more guilty of it than any Conservative
And in the very first Presidential Debate Bad News Beair and Cruella DeVille Megyn did their masters’ bidding and went to Trump’s throat right out of the bat with salacious questions…..
Never went back there again after years and years of getting my news there.
Lucky for me I discovered Lou Dobbs on Fox Business News…True patriot and doesn’t get bogged down in phony “fair and balanced” like Fox News…..
FBN has some good conservatives throughout the day….though I find Cavuto tedious and borderline….gives the Left too much leeway on his show…..Varney is great too.
But now I’m faced with where do I go for internet searching and fascism free posting?

You are correct. As you pointed out, what is lacking is a genuine media outlet sharing truth that matters. Even Fox gets caught up in its own media circus – but Tucker Carlson is a respectable replacement for O’Reilly.

The continuous use of face book, twitter and similar social media by conservatives is clear proof of Einstein’s theory that “stupidity is repeating the same action and expecting a different result”.

I think Einstein thought about saying that a lot, but never got around to saying it publicly. Kind of like, if an Einstein fell in a forest, and no one was around, did it make a sound ??

How do you know for 100% sure that Einstein never said that? Someone thought he did and reported it…..if you don’t think he said that…..then who do you think did say it?

I have often wondered about that. I agree with you that there would be a customer base. It doesn’t have to be a youth, or it could be, but a seasoned, intelligent, older man or woman would do nicely.
I started listening to FOX about a year ago. I find them refreshing, uplifting, and calming. OAN is good too, but not available everywhere.

Many so-called conservatives ban me because I don’t want to offend their dear Negroes by using the ethnic lieberal SLUR of “bl*ck”.

No, I must continue to use that damn slur if I want to remain on their site. Now, they are getting banned and complaining about it.

One guy banned me because of this and became the BIGGEST CRYBABY about Gootard and Youtard banning him.

What media matters? US journalism is dead. It used to be that by about the second paragraph of a news article, the writer’s personal biases would show through. Nowadays the meaure is the second sentence if not the second word.

Facebook, Google, YouTube, Amazon, should no longer be called “social media”….it should be called “Socialist Media”…Or Fascism Media….Or Totalitarian Media…… there is nothing “social” about the silencing of conservatives in America.

Here’s the bottomline: Killary and all her minions went out to fix an election against Bernie and Trump…it blew up in her face. At this point it has cost ALL AMERICANS…..White, Black, Brown, Yellow, et al millions and millions of dollars to go after those not involved while Killary sits in her Ivory Tower with no charges on her…..and her minions are tying up our government processes to protect her.
When does this stop?
