Demonetized on YouTube. Silenced on social media. But today, we're taking on the cancelers themselves, the DNC's wingman: Media Matters. Join us in the fight to expose these leftist propagandists and redeem every conservative name they've dragged through the mud.
APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT?! Media Matters Cancel Culture EXPOSED! | Louder with Crowder youtu.be
LET'S DEFINE CANCEL CULTURE
It's not just offensive jokes. It's not JUST opinions that are not even allowed to be expressed in media or on any of the Big Tech platforms today. It's not JUST that even some opinions that are permissible are only permissible provided the person expressing them is the right race, gender, orientation, or BMI index. It's the totality of said ever-changing rules, seemingly without rhyme or reason, designed to change at a moment's notice in order to box in our speech and separate us from each other. Let's go through it.
JOKES
Once upon a time, people could tell these things, which were referred to in their layman nomenclature as "jokes." This was part of a broader umbrella of entertainment and more importantly human interaction known as "humor." The following are simply examples of third-rail topics of discussion or even JOKES that may in and of themselves not directly violate Big Tech policies but will result in the "cancel" mob exerting pressure demanding the removal of your job, social standing, and otherwise any ability to maintain a livelihood for you and your family.
RACE: Can't make jokes about race, with the EXCEPTIONS that follow:
Said person telling a joke is a member of that specific race, PROVIDED THAT ...
Said person of said race has the right opinion as the member of said race (for example, Candace Owens or the Hodgetwins can't make black jokes, even though they are black, because of their political persuasions) or
In some cases, jokes about other ethnicities are permissible provided that you are a member of an even more CURRENTLY marginalized minority. For example: Until recently, black people making jokes about Asian people was permissible until the rise in hate crimes against said community, largely stemming from those in the black community.
LGBTQAAIP: Can't make jokes about the LGBTQAAIP community, lest you be accused of transphobia, homophobia, or xenophobia. It should be noted that this supersedes rule #1, again, provided that the current news cycle has presented said group as the more marginalized class. For reference, see Dave Chappelle's jokes about the "alphabet community." SOURCE: TheWrap
GENDER: Men cannot make jokes about women lest you be accused of sexism. It is now recommended that you refrain from even using the terms man or woman as modern gender theory has stated that sex is biological while gender is a societal construct and exists on an endless, ever-expanding spectrum. You know, like the universe. Sex and gender are no longer considered separate in all circles of LGBTQAAIP "thought" as now, biological terms are considered increasingly offensive as seen by introductions of the terms "natal male" and "natal female" to replace offensive terminology such as "biological male or female." SOURCE: Trans Parenting
WEIGHT: You're not allowed to make jokes about the morbidly obese even if said land whales are openly advocating for dangerous and unhealthy lifestyles, which fly in opposition to the entirety of human medical and scientific literature on the issue of obesity and long-term health outcomes or all-cause mortality, lest you be considered "fat-phobic."
ISLAM: This one is interesting because I'm not just talking about how a DRAWING of the prophet Muhammad itself will result in the call for your immediate execution from members of the religion of peace, but even more disturbingly, rather than standing up for the freedom of speech and the foundation of Western civilization, we see terrorism's woke allies calling for the immediate firing and public admonishment of anyone who even dares to broach the topic.
FORBIDDEN OPINIONS
But it's not JUST the topics that are off-limits for mere comedy or playful banter. The following are examples of ACTUAL OPINIONS that are officially declared impermissible by all major social media platforms that control over 90% of all digital human interactions.
COVID POLICY SKEPTICISM: According to YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, you are not allowed to express opinions that run contrary to the World Health Organization's narrative on COVID or CURRENT CDC guidelines. This will result in immediate removal of content, even if it directly agrees with their stance held four days ago. Now I'm not talking about conspiracy theories, or stating that COVID is a hoax or anything even close to that extreme.
I am saying that doctors have been removed for suggesting that the initial death rate projections of over 2.2 MILLION in the United States within the first six months alone were INCORRECT.
I'm talking about democratically elected officials being suspended for questioning the alliance of the WHO and its ties to China, refusal to acknowledge Taiwan's existence, or even providing reasoned presentations as to why lockdowns do far more harm than the virus itself.
I know some people will point to some examples of content like this right NOW still being available. But again, that doesn't change the POLICY, and historically, we have seen that once said content or content creator becomes large or influential enough, it will result in their removal.
ELECTION INTEGRITY: Again, this is the official policy of all major BigTech platforms. It is impermissible to express the OPINION, even if supported by data, precedent, and verifiable research, that election fraud could even TAKE PLACE on a large scale or that mere VOTING ANOMALIES could occur due to gaps in voter verification systems and oversight. This is a violation of policy and will result in immediate removal.
TRANSGENDER POLICY: Now this is not about the woke mob as addressed previously, but it is in fact a violation of POLICY to go against current transgender dogma and refer to someone by their biologically appropriate pronouns or even to suggest that untested, unfounded hormone blockers and chemical castration for children are dangerous. This can result in the content or creator being removed. This is considered attacking one for "immutable characteristics" or "denying the existence" of a transgender individual and could result in the immediate removal of said content.
ADD IT UP
Societally one can't make jokes about race, gender, LGBTQAAIP, Islam, or obesity, and on ground of POLICY, one cannot express opinions or present arguments in the face of alternative strategic COVID approaches, the review of election integrity or anomalies, or even the medical opinions shared by a huge percentage of doctors and hospitals on the medical dangers of gender reassignment outcomes or even policy.
Do you feel free?

Before getting its claws into Big Tech, Media Matters had been working with the elites in the mainstream media for years, with the stated mission being: "To work daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions." SOURCE: MediaMatters
Jeff Reynolds wrote in his book, Behind the Curtain, the Media Matters team proactively contacts journalists, presenting themselves as a nonpartisan and nonprofit enterprise, offering to help them avoid pro-conservative bias in their reporting. The relationships they build help ensure the stories they want to push are propagated with a framing that suits them.
And the NYT has started outsourcing to Media Matters. SOURCE: Twitter
But NOW, that ELITE influence has extended to ALL of Big Tech behind the scenes. Media Matters founder David Brock has boasted of having access to raw data for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms.
In the leaked "2020 Media Matters Plan" (a four-year plan, published in 2016) they also outlined their collaboration with Big Tech companies to advise on adjustments to their algorithms.
Here are the most absurd examples of people MM has tried to cancel.

Now let's provide some context. I actually didn't mind the Sesame Street episode!
We were very clear in ensuring the disconnect between Black Lives Matter radicalism and the actual black community, whereas the left wants them to be inextricably linked, in order to forbid you to criticize Black Lives Matter. This is why we even added the BLM logo, wording, and giant black fist to the entirety of the sketch.
I hate that I have to do this, and I will NEVER do it again, because having to explain and fact-check jokes just destroys comedy and ruins fun for all, but contrary to what people like John Stossel think, that we just "shoot from the hip" here, not only do we provide our references for the entire public to see on LouderWithCrowder.com as it relates to very clear opinions, but we even take great care to ensure that our JOKES and sketches are based in verifiable reality, which we SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO. Allow me to demonstrate.

So, you may not like it, you may not find it funny. But to suggest that pointing out the official stances, statements, and net result of the Black Lives Matter organization is "racist" means that YOU either:
A) Don't know anything about Black Lives Matter the organization
B) That you ... might be a little racist.
I won't demand an apology, but will recommend some strong self-reflection.
"60 Minutes" ran what some are calling a "hit piece" on the Florida governor, claiming shenanigans over him working with Publix to get needles in arms. This isn't the first time the media has attacked DeSantis for being TOO effective at getting Floridians V-worded (sorry, it's Facebook). "60 Minutes" was just the first to deceptively edit the governor's comments from a press conference other reporters were at. DeSantis let other people defend him throughout the day. Monday night, it was his turn.
DeSantis hits back at 'deceptively edited' '60 Minutes' 'hit piece' youtu.be
What we have done has worked. And they didn't want to discuss that. ... They tried to act like there was a conspiracy with Publix, ignoring the fact that other pharmacies were involved before Publix, doing all our long-term care facilities. And ignoring the fact I met with the county mayor, a Democrat who said what 60 Minutes has done is bunk. Palm Beach calculated 90% of their seniors lives within a mile and a half of a Publix. When we put it in there, their numbers started going through the roof. ...
What [60 Minutes] didn't tell you also, Tucker, is when there was a need in a more rural part of the county ... we set up a separate site. ...
[60 Minutes] didn't tell you that we were doing African-American church vaccination drives before Publix ever gave a single shot. ...
[60 Minutes] didn't tell you that hospitals were doing shots starting in the third week of December because it didn't fit the narrative.
[60 Minutes doesn't] believe in facts. It was a political narrative. It was done with malicious intent and reckless disregard for the truth.
It's obvious the left views Ron DeSantis as a threat to Joe Biden in 2024. He appeals to every faction of the right AND has a stellar record to back it all up. Plus, as the media tried making him out to be a pandemic villain, they inadvertently gave him invaluable experience talking to a national audience.
Expect more hit pieces like from "60 Minutes" in the future. Expect Ron DeSantis to continue not suffering the fools responsible for them.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called "gaps" in the current barrier.
In a conversation with ICE employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while Mr. Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, "that leaves room to make decisions" on finishing some "gaps in the wall."
Mr. Mayorkas, according to notes of the ICE session reviewed by The Washington Times, said Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the wall, has submitted a plan for what it wants to see happen moving forward.
So many Democrats view opposing the border walls as their main personality trait. Who coulda thunk it that walls work? Other than anyone who isn't a leftist buttmunch. Or a senile old man. Or a senile old man being paraded around by leftist buttmunches. Basically, most of the idiots who didn't think the wall works is currently working in the White House.
It will be interesting to see if this actually happens. It will be entertaining to watch Jen Psaki try to spin it as not happening. Invest in popcorn futures now and start popping.
We've all gotten angry at the news. It's not uncommon to turn on the television, see a talking head reading biased views of what really happened, and yell at the screen as if anyone can hear us. What is uncommon is going to the news studio, stripping down to your birthday suit, and lunging at the reporter with a brick. Though it's only a matter of time before Brian Stelter does that to Tucker Carlson. Our favorite potato is already known for allegedly not wearing pants.
This happened in some country that isn't ours. I'm not sure what this woman said to solicit such outrage since she's speaking not English. I'm just thankful the crazy naked lady had such horrible aim.
A newscaster is attacked... By a naked woman with a brick youtu.be
The obvious question is where was security? In America, you need to show some form of identification to get into news studios. Which is somewhat ironic, because the people talking into the cameras in these studios think it's raaaaaaaacist to have to show identification. For sake of argument, let's say this studio had security. Crazy lady managed to get past the front gate, walk around backstage, take off all of her clothes, find A BRICK, and wait for her opportunity. There's also the option that she walked in with the brick. Obviously, if security is so lax they would let her in, they'd probably miss her armed with a projectile weapon.
The other option is that she had an inside man. Someone who was pissed off at the newsreader as well. Jilted lover? Argument over the pandemic? Was the newsreader a raging biyatch to the crew and this was her comeuppance? We obviously need a full investigation.
Chris Pratt is one of the good ones. I'm hesitant to call him "conservative." There is a habit of labeling anyone in Hollywood who isn't a bitterly partisan leftist twat as "right-wing." But Pratt isn't afraid to share his patriotism or his Christianity with fans. It's surprising he hasn't been forced to apologize yet. Though, he also regularly mocks virtual-signaling celebrity apologies, so I hope things stay that way. Pratt is currently filming Terminal List and shared these words about his Navy SEAL co-stars.
Our world balances between light and dark. And though it feels precarious, it was created that way. We are called, each of us, to be of some service- to be light. Few answer the call. And fewer yet to the degree of the Warfare Special Operator. It has been my great honor to work alongside the men in this photo. Many of whom are actual Navy Seals. As far as men go, it is my opinion there are none equal to the SEAL. I'm trying my hardest to portray James Reece in a believable way. With enough smoke and mirrors and technical advice from the men who've lived it, we'll fake it just enough to tell the incredible story.
I didn't realize it at first, but that's Pratt standing in the center.
Terminal List is a TV show based on a book of the same name. Starring Pratt, it's a thriller based on a Navy SEAL who returns home after his platoon is ambushed during a covert mission. Once returning home, that's where the "thriller" starts. Pratt bought the rights to the book and is producing the show for Amazon Prime. But here's the best part:
To help with authenticity, The Terminal List intends to have veterans and their families as part of multiple aspects of the series production, starting with writing. Half the show's writing staffers are either veterans themselves or have veterans in their families.
I have to hand it to the White House. When they dig in on a lie, they REALLY dig in on a lie. At today's press briefing, Peter Doocy brought up how even the Washington Post claims President Biden is making less than truthful claims about Georgia's voting bill. The question is simple. Will the White House admit Biden made a mistake and said something untrue — over and over again — or will they dig in their heels?
Jen Psaki chose heels.
BOOM: Peter Doocy points out the fact that even The Washington Post found President Biden's claims about the Georgia voting law to be factually inaccurate and asked if he'll change how he talks about it.
REPORTER: Even the Washington Post says that Joe Biden is lying about the Georgia bill. Face it. You're caught. Will the president keep lying about the Georgia bill?
PSAKI: Abso-f*ckin-lutely!
Okay, that's not quite how it went. Psaki didn't answer the question. Only that the "fact-checkers" agree that it makes voting harder and that's what Biden is speaking out about. But that itself is a lie. Joe Biden SPECIFICALLY said that the bill reduced when people can vote, and that's the specific point Washington Post says is bullcookies. Biden also said that the bill bans people from handing out water. That also fudges facts. Biden also keeps comparing it to Jim Crow without ever being challenged on it.
