John Nolte at Breitbart has
more bad news (“Poynter [Institute] Temporarily Pulls Blacklist with a Big Lie
and Promise to Return”)
“Marketers can create blacklists,” Poynter
helpfully points out, but since your blacklist might not be as
comprehensive as our blacklist here’s a handy blacklist that will allow you to
blacklist those we believe should be blacklisted.
Poynter’s list includes… Breitbart News, the
Media Research Center, Pajamas Media, Washington Examiner, The
Daily Wire, The Blaze, Red State, Project Veritas, Newsmax, Zero
Hedge, LifeSite, Judicial Watch, Frontpage, The Washington Free Beacon, The
Daily Caller, and the Drudge Report…
But nowhere on this list will you find the
establishment media outlets — CNN, NBC, the Washington Post,
Politico, the New York Times, MSNBC, etc. — responsible for
blowing the biggest stories of the last five years:
·
The
Trayvon Martin Hoax
·
The
Hands Up, Don’t Shoot Hoax
·
Donald
Trump Can’t Win
·
The
Russia Collusion Hoax
·
The
Brett Kavanaugh Serial Rapist Hoax
·
The
Covington High School Boys Hoax
Poynter’s blacklist was only about one thing,
had only one goal — one — and that was to tell advertisers to
starve alternative media, alternative thought and ideas to death.
But here’s the real news, Poynter is not retracting
its McCarthyite blacklist in shame — oh no… Poynter is promising to return with
a better and bolder blacklist:
Therefore, we are
removing this unreliable sites list until we are able to provide our audience a
more consistent and rigorous set of criteria.
“Rigorous”
or righteous? This report is one of several over the past months concerning
ongoing efforts to blacklist or de-platform or otherwise shut down a debate. For example, see
Daily Caller report here. Iain
Murray at Instapundit has another:
Leftist
activists have forced
a vote at the Mastercard AGM next month to establish an Orwellian
“Human Rights Committee” aimed at cutting off the rights of anyone they
disagree with. The initial aim is to choke off the income stream to right-wing
activists.
Master Card? Well, if
Facebook, Google, Twitter, and YouTube can get away with blocking our First Amendment
rights, and companies such as Dick’s Sporting Goods bow to political
correctness, what will stop Master Card?
