‘Big Tech Censorship Is Election Meddling and a Civil Rights Violation’

The owner of the irreverent, muckraking Turtleboy Sports blog knows a thing or two, to borrow language from that TV commercial for an insurance company, about online censorship. The entertaining and provocative Massachusetts-based investigative journalism portal — plus its slightly toned down, less vulgar TB Daily News version — focuses mainly on municipal corruption, felonious activity, and welfare scammers and assorted “hoodrats,” rather than sports. Given that the big social media networks have repeatedly de-platformed Turtleboy Sports and associated sites, owner “Uncle Turtleboy” claims that he “invented” tech censorship. read more

Maybe LeBron James Should Shut Up and Dribble After All: Clay Travis

NBA superstar LeBron James, the self-proclaimed greatest player of all time, made headlines recently by accusing NFL owners of harboring a slave mentality and also sharing anti-Semitic rap lyrics on his Instagram page. FS1 panelist and Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis says that LBJ benefits from athlete privilege enabled, in large part, by the fawning liberal sports media. Plus, the Lakers luminary himself could be a something of a modern-day slave master for his Nike sneaker deal, Travis argued. read more

Twitter Reinstates Jesse Kelly Following Uproar

Twitter has reinstated the account of U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran and Houston-based talk show host Jesse Kelly. What was originally deemed an out-of-the blue, as it were, permanent ban on Sunday for the conservative pundit was reclassified by the influential social network as a temporary suspension, but without a specific explanation for either action.

From The Daily Wire:

“‘The account was temporarily suspended for violating the Twitter Rules and has been reinstated,’ a Twitter spokesperson told The Daily Wire. ‘We have communicated directly with the account owner.'”

"Temporarily suspended"? What a boldface lie. Twitter “permanently suspended” Jesse Kelly's account and told him it “will not be restored.” But now under the threat of a Congressional investigation, they say it was just "temporary," and now it's magically restored. https://t.co/T4w6D14AzF read more

“Non-Biased” Google Holds a Pity Party After 2016 Election [Video]

Asking for a friend: Does your company get together for a group cry after an election?

That’s appears to be what happened at Google’s all-hands TGIF meeting in November 2016 after Donald Trump’s win  in a video just leaked to Breitbart News.

Google continues to insist there is no political bias in the way the search engine giant operates.

Breitbart described the reaction of Google’s top execs to the election results.

“These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the Trump agenda.”

Kent Walker, a senior VP at Google, says that it's important for Google "to be in the arena" fighting against "populism" and "nationalism" after Trump's victory to make sure that Trump "is a blip, is a hiccup." pic.twitter.com/LHla5aezaU read more
