Kirk Killing Cover Up?

Share Share

Political wonks I used to follow but stopped following, and why:

#ElijahSchaffer - Neo-Nazism

#MiloYiannopoulos - Antagonistic, unhinged and potentially bad faith

#StevenCrowder - Factual inaccuracies then, now mistreating his staff and wife

#Hasanabi - Bad faith

#JacksonHinkle - Pro #Russia propaganda, bad faith

#TheMajorityReport’s #SamSeder - Bad faith, manipulation via framing and misinformtion

#JennaEllis - Continuing to fight over the 2020 election despite the fact that it happened long ago, potential conspiracy theorist

#BenShapiro - Neocon

#CarolineKwan - Bad faith, poorly informed

#MichaelSavage - Racist, homophobic (legitimately, not in the cucked sense of the word)

#AllieBethStuckey - Conspiracy theorist and pseudoscientific misinformation

#OfficerTatum - Calling a black person a “gorilla”

#Destiny - Supporting political violence

#SteveDeace - Supporting and associating with #Christian nationalist #JackHibbs

#DaveRubin - Joking and gloating about the attack against #PaulPelosi

I also stopped following #TimPool for a bit after #AdamCrigler exposed him for cheating on his GF with #Sourpatchlyds, who had (and still has!) a husband at the time and mistreating his staff, although his commentary is good so I’ve started watching #TimcastIRL again

I also stopped following #JackPosobiec because he was off about something (I forget what it was). I now check out his tweets here and there, but don’t use him as an authoritative primary source for anything.

This story reminds me of the time back in 2008 I helped an ecumenical group contact #MichaelSavage sponsors about his violent rhetoric toward #muslims
He lost dozens of advertisers & over a million bucks.
He then sued #CAIR & lost.
The win sent a message:
RW hosts don't have a right to ad-subsidized speech.

Savage v. CAIR: Another Year, Another Attempt to Misuse Copyright Law to Silence a Critic

This week, along with our co-counsel, EFF filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings asking a U.S. District Court judge to throw out a copyright infringement suit brought by talk show host Michael Savage against the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Savage sued CAIR in December, alleging...

#NewsMax hosted #MichaelSavage saying he was "willing to pick up arms" against "far-left maniacs"
He's used violent rhetoric & attacks on religious groups before.
So, back in 2008 I worked with an ecumenical group to contact his advertisers about what he said. He lost dozens of them & over a million dollars.

AND I helped establish a message.
RW media hosts can say what they want, but they don't have a right to advertiser-subsidized speech.

my favorite thing about #MSNBC is that famously "left wing" MSNBC fired #PhilDonahue for being against the War in #Iraq, the objectively correct position and replaced him with racist, #homophobic shithead #MichaelSavage who told a gay caller that he hoped he gets #AIDS and dies.
