LISTEN: Mark Levin Rips CNN Hack Dana Bash for Whitewashing Biden';s Censorship Regime
Syndicated radio host Mark Levin tore into prominent CNN Biden flack Dana Bash for trying to gaslight viewers on the dangers of the White House censorship regime. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told CNN anchor Erin Burnett April 1 to her dismay that it was in fact President Joe Bidens censorship regime‚ not former President Donald Trump‚ that presented the bigger threat to America. Kennedy pointed out the Biden administrations history of jawboning Big Tech companies like Twitter and Facebook to go after the presidents political opponents. Bash‚ clearly triggered‚ pathetically tried to fact-check Kennedy the next day on CNNs Inside Politics. Her argument pretty much amounted to excusing Biden because he supposedly wasnt personally involved in directing his agencies to pressure social media companies and the censorship collusion was only engineered towards fighting so-called ";false information"; about COVID-19. Yes‚ you read that right.Levin wasnt having it during the April 2 edition of his radio show: [Bash is] a hack mouthpiece who burps up the usual left-wing‚ Democrat Party talking points.Nothing to see here‚ claimed Bash during her segment repudiating Kennedy: Joe Biden wasnt setting out to censor Kennedys speech or his political critics. Rather‚ Bash brazenly whitewashed‚ His administration was encouraging social media sites to monitor and take down [censor] false information about the COVID-19 pandemic. Theres no evidence that Biden himself was involved‚ as if agencies censoring on Bidens behalf by proxy is somehow any better and absolves the presidents culpability. Levin took Bash to school. What kind of a stupid comment is that‚ he rebuked. Did you [Bash] sit in on all the meetings? Is Biden going to say‚ Yeah I told them to do that? What kind of a stupid comment is that?Listen to Mark Levin ripping apart CNN';s gaslighting on Biden';s censorship regime below!Levin flipped Bashs argument on its head. If Biden didnt want [the government censorship] to happen and he has newspapers and briefers and press people all around him he could have stopped it. But he didnt‚ the radio host said.Despite Bashs assertions to the contrary‚ Biden did go after Kennedys speech‚ as Levin pointed out. What [Bash] is not saying is that when you censor the entire discussion [on COVID-19] you certainly are censoring Robert Kennedy Jr. and others‚ he said. But theres more. Bash must have memory-holed the spectacle of former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki going on camera during a 2021 press briefing to regurgitate the findings from a report by the dystopian fanatics at theleftist Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)‚ which explicitly named Kennedy as one of the so-called Disinformation Dozen on COVID-19. Theres about twelve people who were producing 65 percent of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms‚"; said Psaki parroting CCDHs targeting of Kennedy and others.";There';s about 12 people who are producing 65% of vaccine misinformation on social media platforms.";After our research was used by the @WhiteHouse @PressSec‚ we joined @CBS @CBSThisMorning with @GayleKing to explain how social media is a misinformation super spreader pic.twitter.com/GcKLtLy9y7 Center for Countering Digital Hate (@CCDHate) July 16‚ 2021Bashs own colleague‚ Senior Media Reporter Oliver Darcy‚ released a story in 2021 with a headline that completely upended her gaslighting: Facebook takes action against disinformation dozen after White House pressure. Oops. But Biden didn';t target Kennedys speech‚ right Bash? [Emphasis added.] Levin continued to rip apart Bashs so-called fact-check‚ which he dismissed as pretty funny: So Dana Bash‚ Im going to fact-check you. Number one: Joe Biden was in fact trying to censor people. Why else would he set up that [Disinformation Governance] Board at DHS‚ Levin pointed out. Number two: Yes‚ [Bidens] departments and agencies were working with Twitter‚ Facebook‚ Google and others to try and prevent political speech political speech and that includes the [Hunter Biden] laptop issue. Levin also noted Bashs apparent ignorance to the court preliminaryopinions from Louisiana District Court Judge Terry A. Doughty and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in the ongoing Murthy v. Missouri controversy outlining the terrifying political censorship regime in the Biden administration that the CNN anchor pretended wasnt a threat. Doughty‚ in his opinion‚ wrote that the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario‚ adding that during the COVID-19 pandemic the U.S. government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian Ministry of Truth.You make it sound so harmless Dana‚ Levin remarked. No kidding.Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency and an equal footing for conservatives.
