These People are Sick: Daily Beast Doxxes Black Trump Supporter who Shared Meme of Pelosi Slurring Her Words — CNN Promotes the Story

Last week a video made the rounds of Speaker Pelosi slurring her words during a presser.

The video was widely shared on social media as you would expect.

Lou Dobbs later ran his own clip from Pelosi’s press conference where they pieced together the stuttering and brain freezes on trouble counting.

President Trump later retweeted the Lou Dobbs video.

Over the weekend Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi demanded that Facebook remove the doctored video of Pelosi slurring her words.  So far the video remains just like the dozens of doctored anti-Trump videos that regularly make the rounds.

Then this happened…

A fascist Daily Beast ‘reporter’ doxxed a black conservative male for the ‘crime’ of posting the Nancy Pelosi meme video.

That’s right. An anonymous, private citizen has been outed by the Daily Beast for the crime of having the wrong politics.

The Daily Beast Fascist, Kevin Poulsen said he went looking for the “Russian troll behind the ‘Drunk Pelosi’ viral video.”

Because when you are a brain dead leftist, anyone who supports President Trump and criticizes Democrats, is a “Russian troll.”

“Turns out he’s an itinerant forklift operator from the Bronx who’s been secretly running hard-right “news” outlets across social media for years. Also, not Russian,” Kevin Poulsen tweeted.

How brave.

The victim of the Fascist doxxing, “Shawn,” is an African-America day laborer who is now being targeted for ruin because he dared mock House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The private citizen who being targeted for ruin did not break any laws, yet the hate mob and enemy of the people (the media) wants to destroy his life.

Even worse, the man who is being targeted said he didn’t even make the video of Pelosi sounding drunk, he merely posted it to Facebook like hundreds of other people did.

The Daily Beast fabricated part of their article too and the victim punched back.

“I never said I made 1000 dollars. That’s a lie. This guy just made up a bunch of shit and added my past history (which isn’t all true) and have convinced you all that everything he wrote was true. Bottom line is I never made the video. I shared it just like thousands of other ppl,” Shawn tweeted.

It also appears Facebook assisted The Daily Beast and gave them the private citizens’s personal information.

CNN later spread the news.  They know about doxxing conservatives.

 

According to a report out by Big League Politics, the Daily Beast writer who doxxed the black conservative, is a convicted felon who was previously banned from the Internet for committing espionage against the United States.

CNN Sucks For Freelancers; Fake News Network Won’t Pay Them For 3 Months

The hits just keep coming for CNN with yet another story that shows that relying on fake news and conspiracy theories is a miserable failure as a business model.

It’s been a nightmarish last few months for the self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” when plunging ratings over the Mueller report mega-dud have driven the network to deny “crazy rumors” about a wave of staff cuts yet last month “voluntary buyouts” were offered to employees as the central anti-Trump propaganda transmission station trimmed the fat.

The “buyouts” were recently followed by the news that CNN was slashing its entire health division with the exception of smarmy celebrity Doctor Sangay Gupta who specializes in long-range diagnoses of President Trump, a man who he has never personally examined.

Then just last week, CNN implemented staff cuts across the pond at its international operations London, forcing viewers to suffer through domestic American replacement content on their tellies.

Now it’s freelance writers who are getting rear-ended by Jeff Zucker and the other suits as it is now being reported that such content providers should expect to not be paid for three months which is going to be tough to swallow for people already living on a razor-thin budget.

Via The Daily Caller:

CNN is reportedly set to impose a “net 90” payment term on freelance employees beginning in June, meaning the company’s freelancers will be paid just once every three months.

“In a blow to their financial stability, CNN sent a letter to several of the network’s freelancers this week, extending their payment terms to net 90 (payment 90 days after invoice). The change is to ‘be better aligned with our corporate requirements,’” a Twitter user named Marcus DiPaola said on Tuesday night.

The move has met with significant blowback.

“Net 90 is NOT a reasonable payment term for people who must pay rent every 30 days,” Freelancers Union Executive Director Caitlin Pierce wrote on Thursday. “CNN is effectively asking freelancers to finance the cash flow of a multi-billion dollar company by waiting one quarter of a year for payment.”

In addition to being a really rotten surprise to spring on freelancers, it is yet another sign that CNN bet the house on Mueller and rolled snake eyes.

Unlike MSNBC where the loyal viewing audience would eat a bowl of doggie doo with candy sprinkles on top if Rachel Maddow told them too, CNN had long relied on the big con that it was still a legitimate news network and the implosion of the great Russian collusion hoax didn’t sit well with those who are still occasionally capable of critical thinking.

Things aren’t looking up either. It was reported that the New York Times is moving to bar its reporters from appearing on CNN and MSNBC in what taken at face value, appears to be a too little, too late effort to salvage their credibility.

According to The Washington Examiner:

The New York Times is clamping down on its reporters appearing on opinionated cable news shows to avoid the appearance of “bias.”

The newspaper recently blocked its finance editor David Enrich from appearing on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show to talk about his reporting on President Trump’s finances and Deutsche Bank, according to according to Vanity Fair. The paper has also placed Lawrence O’Donnell’s show on MSNBC and Don Lemon’s show on CNN on its blacklist.

“In deciding whether to make a radio, television or Internet appearance, a staff member should consider its probable tone and content to make sure they are consistent with Times standards,” the New York Times ethics guide states. “Staff members should avoid strident, theatrical forums that emphasize punditry and reckless opinion-mongering.”

When you’ve lost the New York Times, you know that it’s big trouble.

Sooner or later it won’t only be freelancers and staffers but CNN will have to start sawing off some of its high-dollar all-star team of Trump hating crazies like gangrenous limbs.

Dem Candidate Denounces Socialism; Nearly Booed Offstage

The most potent concentration of flaming batshit crazy over the weekend has been in San Francisco where the California Democrats held their annual convention.

Aspiring 2020 potential candidates had to make the journey into the feces-strewn city that is literally the definition of an American shithole where they made their case to the most extremist elements of a party that has gone completely off the rails.

Unfortunately, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper who is one of the nearly two dozen zanies crammed into the bursting at the seams clown car didn’t make a convincing case to the freaks and as a result, may the first one voted off the island once the primary season kicks off – if he even makes it that far.

Never one to be accused of moderation, Hickenlooper nonetheless chose to go off the reservation when he spoke the blasphemy that socialism is not the answer which did the amazing trick of making him look like the only rational candidate.

Which is why he was nearly booed off the stage.

Via The San Francisco Chronicle, “‘Socialism is not the answer,’ Hickenlooper tells booing California Democrats”:

It wasn’t a message many of the California Democratic Party convention delegates were eager to hear.

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, one of 14 presidential candidates speaking to the convention in San Francisco, styles himself as a moderate. When he got his turn Saturday, he told the delegates in the Moscone Center, “If we want to beat Donald Trump and achieve big progressive goals, socialism is not the answer.”

He smiled as a sustained round of boos rained down.

He was booed a second time when he said the country should strive for universal health care without eliminating private insurance.

Hickenlooper was followed by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who received a big reaction when he opened with the line, “I am the governor who doesn’t think we should be ashamed of our progressive values.”
In an interview after his speech, Hickenlooper said he did not come to San Francisco hoping to be booed.

But booed that he was and the next time that he speaks before a crowd of America hating leftist communist sympathizers, they will be better prepared and will likely pelt him with garbage and urine and feces bombs.

He has zero chance at winning the nomination but at least give the guy some credit for telling the truth.

TWITTER TAKES SIDES: Chooses Brutal Chinese Communist Govt. Over Freedom Dissidents and US Conservatives

TWITTER HAS MADE ITS CHOICE — The Communist Chinese trump Freedom Dissidents and US conservatives

It’s no secret that Twitter censors and shadow-bans conservatives.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on this extensively over the past few years.

We reported in July 2018 that Twitter has long been accused of censoring conservatives.  Twitter was indeed censoring and shadowbanning the President of the United States, Donald Trump’s twitter account, @realDonaldTrump.

Twitter is still at it!

In July 2018 we reported that a study by the leftist website VICE News found that Twitter is censoring top pro-Trump lawmakers.   Twitter is targeting pro-Trump Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and John Ratcliffe with the same shadowbanning technique.

Twitter is also censoring prominent pro-Trump accounts including: Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, TGP’s Jim Hoft, TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks and Laura Loomer among others.

Last year Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told the Daily Caller Foundation on Wednesday he is considering filing a FEC complaint over Twitter’s preferential treatment of liberals versus its censoring of prominent conservatives.

In July there was even video proof that President Trump’s Twitter page is being censored.

Gateway Pundit contributor Cristina Laila received a notice in 2018 that her tweet violated Pakistani law.
What the h*ll?

The President has over 57 million followers on his account but rarely does he receive more than 20,000 retweets or 100,000 likes on his tweets.

Now a new study at Quillette by Professor Richard Hanania at Columbia University found that Twitter censors conservatives over liberals at a 21 to 1 ratio.

But it’s not just in the US where Twitter destroys free speech.

Over the past several weeks Twitter has been suspending accounts of Chinese dissidents in the run-up to the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

According to Tech Crunch:

Twitter has suspended a large number of Chinese-language user accounts, including those belonging to critics of China’s government. It seems like a particularly ill-timed move, occurring just days before thirtieth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4.

“A large number of Chinese @Twitter accounts are being suspended today,” wrote Yaxue Cao, founder and editor of the U.S.-based publication China Change. “They ‘happen’ to be accounts critical of China, both inside and outside China.”

Twitter responded saying the deletion of the dissident accounts was an accident.

Twitter takes down ‘a large number’ of Chinese-language accounts ahead of Tiananmen Square anniversary

It’s clear that Twitter has chosen sides. And it’s not with those who promote freedom at home or abroad.

Daily Beast Says Facebook Helped Them Dox Trump Supporter

The Daily Beast recently doxed a black, working-class Trump supporter for the crime of creating a parody video of Democrat speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi. But there’s more to the story — it appears Facebook may have helped the left-wing journalists identify him.

The video was posted to Facebook anonymously by the Trump supporter, who the Daily Beast identified as Shawn Brooks, a black forklift driver and Trump supporter from the Bronx.

By doxing Brooks, The Daily Beast followed the example of CNN, which threatened to unmask an anonymous Trump supporter over a parody video, forcing to him apologize in exchange for not revealing his identity. The scandal caused “CNNBlackmail” to trend on Twitter.

But there’s another aspect to the Daily Beast story which has major implications for the privacy of Facebook users — according to the Daily Beast reporter himself, Facebook gave him information on Brooks’ activity on the platform.

It’s conceivable that someone else actually edited the clip. But a Facebook official, confirming a Daily Beast investigation, said the video was first posted on Politics WatchDog directly from Brooks’ personal Facebook account. [emphasis ours]

If the Daily Beast’s description of Facebook’s actions is accurate, Facebook compromised the privacy of one of its users, handing over information on his activity to a journalist who was clearly engaged in a politically motivated hatchet-job.

Facebook has been rocked by repeated privacy scandals over the past two years, including giving major corporations access to user data without permission. CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently unveiled a re-branding effort emphasizing the company’s commitment to protecting the privacy of its users.

“I believe that the future is private,” Zuckerberg said at a recent Facebook conference.

Even left-wing feminist Caroline Orr, who described the Pelosi parody as “disgusting” (it’s simply a video of Pelosi slowed down to make her words appear slurred), expressed shock at the idea of Facebook handing over private information about its users.

“It appears that Facebook helped the reporter who wrote this story identify the person behind the doctored video of Nancy Pelosi — i.e., Facebook used its own internal data to help publicly identify a private citizen” wrote Orr.

“That’s extremely troubling.”

“Facebook confirmed to the reporter that the video was first posted “directly from Brooks’ personal Facebook account.”

“So… Facebook is handing over information to reporters regarding what people are doing on their personal Facebook accounts?”

“The guy didn’t break any laws. He didn’t even violate any of Facebook’s policies, according to the company. The doctored video is still up! In Facebook’s eyes, this guy did nothing wrong — yet they just handed over his private data to a reporter. How is that justifiable?”

Breitbart News has reached out to Facebook for its side of the story.

Supreme Court Rejects Case On Transgender Bathrooms. Here’s Why It’s Still a Huge Issue.

The Supreme Court rejected a case regarding school policy in a district which allows transgender students to use bathrooms of their choice.

On Tuesday, the Supreme
Court denied cert to Doe v. Boyertown Area School District, a case concerning a
gender identity bathroom and locker room policy at a Pennsylvania high school.

In declining to take up the case, The Supreme Court let stand the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit’s decision, which dismissed the concerns of students who did not wish to share intimate spaces with members of the opposite sex.

As long as this policy
remains in place, the problems with the policy remain too. High school girls
like Alexis Lightcap will continue to have to share women’s spaces with
biological males.

“I don’t want a man in the bathroom with me. I’m already uncomfortable in my body, trying to grow up,” said Lightcap.  “I have a thirteen-year-old sister who goes to this school. I don’t want her going into a bathroom where a male is allowed to just walk in there.”

“I wish that the school
had protected my privacy somehow. It felt like a specific group of people were
protected while the greater population was not,” Lightcap said.

Policies like the one at
Boyertown Area School District leaves girls vulnerable to emotional trauma–or
worse. At a school in Decatur, Georgia, a gender identity bathroom policy
similar to the one at Boyertown enabled a boy who identifies as gender fluid to sexually
assault a kindergarten girl.

Girls deserve to feel
safe and have privacy in women’s only spaces.

Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg understood this. When she penned the majority opinion requiring Virginia Military Institute
to admit women, she stipulated that VMI
would need to “afford members of each sex privacy from the other sex in living
arrangements.”

Why? As she wrote in an op-ed at The Washington Post while she was a law professor at Columbia, “Separate
places to disrobe, sleep, perform personal bodily functions are permitted, in
some situations required, by regard for individual privacy. Individual privacy,
a right of constitutional dimension, is appropriately harmonized with the
equality principle.”

Privacy and equality are
not mutually exclusive. In fact, upholding the former is essential to
preserving the latter—especially for women.

The #MeToo movement is a
prescient reminder that women still face unique social challenges. Taking away
women’s privacy from the male form and the male gaze directly by forcing them
to share spaces with males is a step backwards in the fight for equality.

This problem is not going
anywhere. As Ginsburg pointed out in her VMI opinion, “[p]hysical differences
between the sexes are enduring,” and quoting Ballard v. United States, “[t]he
two sexes are not fungible.”

The difference between
the sexes is here to stay; so too are the problems with gender identity
policies like the one at Boyertown.

Everyone deserves privacy
and safety in private facilities. However, one-size-fits-all policies like Boyertown’s
fail to take into account the very real needs of countless girls.

Better solutions exist.
In the absence of a Supreme Court decision, it is on school administrators to
find them.

Obama Condemns US Gun Laws to Audience in Brazil

Former President Barack Obama told a crowd in Brazil Thursday that U.S. gun laws “don’t make sense” because people can buy “any weapon, any time.”

Obama’s remarks came during an interview at VTEX DAY, a conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, after he was asked to describe his hardest day as president.

dailycallerlogo

“The most difficult day that I’ve had was the day that there was a shooting in a school where 20 small children were shot,” he said.

“Some of you may be aware, our gun laws in the United States don’t make much sense. Anybody can buy any weapon, any time without much, if any, regulation. They buy it over the internet. They can buy machine guns.”

U.S. Federal firearms laws are stricter than Obama represented. Gun purchasers must be at least 18 for rifles and shotguns, and 21 for handguns, and pass a background check if they buy from a dealer, according to the National Rifle Association.

In addition, fully automatic machine guns cannot be sold to private citizens, as written in the National Firearms Act.

Obama’s comments about guns are timely for Brazil. In January, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro issued a temporary decree that expands access for people to buy and carry guns, according to the Daily Mail.

“Having to speak to parents who had lost a child just a day or two after it had happened, and not being able to assure them that…that would change, that we would fix this. I couldn’t bring their children back but I couldn’t even promise them that we would change the laws so this didn’t happen to somebody’s children.”

“That was the day that was emotionally most difficult for me,” he added.
