Zuckerberg ‘fesses up about Biden censorship

&NewLine;<p>STOP THE PRESSES&excl;&nbsp&semi; This is a major story&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Facebook wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg has made a major admission&period;&nbsp&semi; Despite years of denial by him&comma; the Biden White House and virtually every Democrat on the planet&comma; Zuckerberg now admits that not only did the White House put pressure on him and his staff to censor factually accurate information unfavorable to the Biden administration&comma; but that he acquiesced to their demands&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The two most obvious incidents involved information related to the Covid Pandemic and the notorious Hunter Biden laptop&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In the first case&comma; Facebook only allowed the view of the White House &lpar;read that as Dr&period; Anthony Fauci&rpar; on controversial issues – such as the benefits of masking in various situations or school and business closing policies&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In terms of the Hunter laptop&comma; Facebook – at the demand of the White House – actually censored the truth in favor of the lie – that the laptop did not belong to Hunter but was a Russian hoax&period;&nbsp&semi; This was particularly egregious since it arguably influenced the outcome of a close election&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The demands for censorship went beyond informational content but included humor and satire determined to be offensive by the White House&period;  The Facebook censorship at the behest of Team Biden was so severe that Zuckerberg’s social media platform banned stories about the laptop reported in leading newspapers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The admission by Zuckerberg is more than surprising&period;&nbsp&semi; It is shocking&period;&nbsp&semi; He confirms what Trump&comma; Republicans and many media outlets were saying – a truth that came out much later&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Zuckerberg’s startling admission came in the form of a letter from the Facebook CEO to the House Judiciary Committee headed up by Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan&period;&nbsp&semi; In it&comma; Zuckerberg referred to &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;repeated demands” by the White House &&num;8212&semi; and that Biden officials would get angry when he denied requests he considered excessive&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In retrospect&comma; Zuckerberg now considers all the requests and demands of the White House to be excessive&period;&nbsp&semi; He apologized for not refusing the requests at the time – and for not informing the public of the pressure from the White House&period;&nbsp&semi; He said he would not allow that to happen in the future&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>When the accusation of improper censorship by the Biden Administration leaked out&comma; then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended the unprecedented actions as an effort to protect the public from disinformation&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The current White House has mounted a similar defense in the face of the Zuckerberg letter&period;&nbsp&semi; It issued this statement&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><em>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Our position has been clear and consistent&colon; We believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people&comma; while making independent choices about the information they present&period;”<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The Biden White House position may be consistent&comma; but it is far from clear&period;&nbsp&semi; It is a meaningless platitude&period;&nbsp&semi; It does not address the administration’s serious assault on free speech&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>One should not diminish the magnitude of the abuse of power with regard to the Hunter laptop&period;&nbsp&semi; The Biden White House concocted a totally phony story to protect the Biden family from the truth in order to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Team Biden not only told a huge lie&comma; but they coerced the news services and social media platforms to restrict reporting to the phony Russian hoax claim – and censor the truth&period;  They used the FBI and the intelligence community to parrot the lie – even though they knew better&period;  Secretary of State Antony Blinken organized more than fifty current and former intel officials to sign a public letter propagating the lie&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Such chicanery should have minimally resulted in the removal of Blinken and FBI director Wray – and the stripping of security clearances for many of those who signed the letter&period;&nbsp&semi; Such a flagrant abuse of presidential power and violation of the president’s oath to defend the Constitution could reasonably have resulted in an impeachment inquiry&period;&nbsp&semi; But none of that happened or would happen with the current cultural and political bias&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Regardless&comma; voters should not forget this travesty&period;&nbsp&semi; And especially not forget that Vice President Harris was a key player in promoting what she most surely knew to be disinformation&period; She was in on the scheme from the get-go&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
