Apple Removes Five of Six Infowars Podcast Series From iTunes Directory

[thadoggfather]

GOP owns WH, both chambers, and Fox is "the most watched news network on cable".

Gee, if only there was an outlet for conservatives to be heard...

Aside from Fox what does the rest of
Your post have to do with media and how people are informed?

Good time to remind you most mainstream media is liberal media and I’ll take it a step further to say outright democratic activism.

Half of Fox News are rino never trumper and Disney bought 20th century Fox which owns Fox News. So I expect the never trumper rhetoric to only
Go up. At least Hannity admits his show is an opinion show. No one at cnn says the same even though they’re heavy with their opinions (and loose with their facts to support their opinions)

But you do you.

Edit before the correctional quotes pile on- Fox News will be owned by Murdoch still. Larger point remains not 100% pro Trump, on Fox News.

I mean I would love examples of whatever it is you're alluding to instead of throwaway comments like this. Got any?

Yep. Where is one liberal on this forum admitting that racism exists among the left? That all of these ridiculous pedantic -isms and -phobics Conservatives are routinely name called only apply to the Right? No no no, only the right could be morally inept.

 

[MarkusL]

Do you know what Apple is calling "hate speech"? Since you are sour on this "Jones Crap", and I know nothing much about them, I was just wondering if this was true hate speech, or one of this "It is hate because we disagree" hate speech. That would put a lot of this in context. Sorry if this was already posted.

I guess among the worst is that he claims the Sandy Hook massacre was a fake, and claims that the parents of the murdered children are paid actors. To the point where his followers have started stalking an harassing the parents. I suppose this means I "disagree" with him.

Hi! Racists exist on the left and all walks of life. The right isn't exclusively the only racists in the world. Political leaning is a strong predictor of such beliefs, but by no means infallible.

 

[BaldiMac]

The left isn't interested in hearing opposing views. They categorically determine what is and isn't hate speech, and basically they have become so delusional they believe that only what conservative minded people say is hate speech. Liberals could never be racists, sexists, misogynistic, Islamophobics, or any other number of isms and phobics Conservatives are routinely accused of being. Look the number of people in this thread who are excusing away Sarah Jeong's racist statements.

Balderdash. I grew up as a conservative and am very respectful of conservative beliefs. Alex Jones isn't a problem because he's conservative. He's a problem because he's a conspiracy theorist and liar that is taken seriously by a significant number of conservatives.

I don't have a problem discussing issues with conservatives. I do have a problem with the Republican party's embrace of lies and misinformation and denial of science and fact. It's why I stopped voting Republican in 2008. GWB was a disaster. 45 is a disaster. Not because they are conservatives. But because of the lies and incompetence and devotion to party over democracy.

Oh no! That was a cruel thing to do to his sad argument :-( His worldview will be shattered!

Holy crap. I have a shocking revelation for you: Everyone and everything is biased. You, me, that guy. _everyone_. So get over it! You want everyone to be robots or what? Everyone has memories, values, a background, and judgement. These form biases. Wow! I am biased against being hit by a car or a cruise missile. Wow! Much bias! Amazing. How do you not understand that people other than you have also made to their minds about things. Your sad solipsistic view is hilarious. Only you have the truth! Only you have the right biases! Everyone else is in on the scam! Ooga booga!

Not sure how you came to that conclusion about someone (me) who is advocating for more than one source and interpretation and presentation of media information to avoid bias but hey ho you knows how ya brain works.

As usual, conservatives are the real victims here.

Will do! Me.

I dunno why he wants anyone to admit there's racism. Conservatives usually decry virtually any racism as just someone "playing the race card" anyway.

When they actually admit racism exists, I'll take them seriously on the subject.

Then I believe all Alex Jones fans are paid Russian meddlers so I support stalking and harassing them and their families. And if you try and stop me, you're stepping on my freedom of speech!

 

[widgeteer]

You're right, except given the opportunity, you and your leftist pals would shut down Fox and remove all conservative members of congress from the WH and congress.

Can't help you with your fantasies about what you think The Libruls would do. I haven't seen anyone advocate removing anyone over being conservative. Voted out, sure.

That's the point. You people don't want to allow dissent from your own views. Very reminiscent of the Nationalialsozialist Party so incorrectly compared to Republican politicians. I remember the Bush/Hitler comparisons too. Pathetic.

Yeah yeah, sure. The same group cheering on baby jails and nazi border policies telling everyone it's the other side that are the real nazis because Alex Jones' podcast isn't available on iTunes. Gotcha.

You gotta love someone screeching about a single network being really
Popular, and not at all examining why it may be so. Might it be due to people being deprived by all other
Mainstream media ways of getting anything but 24/7 vitriol and arguments and the same thing over and over and over again beyond “I don’t like his face his tweets his tiny hands his hair or his voice” or “he’s gay for Putin” some people want more out of news than that. But certainly not everyone I’ll concede

The free market decided Fox shows are killing it ratings wise. Of viewers own volition and ... you’re upset! Just like infowars app #4 in news apps right now. Because people decided. Woooo free market rocks

That's fair and I agree GWB was a disaster. I also believe Obama was a bigger disaster. No Obama without Bush. No Trump without Obama. We are where we are because we have had ****** leadership on both sides. That cannot be disputed.

Oh no! That was a cruel thing to do to his sad argument :-( His worldview will be shattered!

This is why nobody takes you serious.

 

[tshrimp]

In another thread we gave you overwhelming amounts of evidence about the biological basis of homosexuality and you basically said you didn't want to hear it and what you were told as a child is irrefutable truth to you regardless of what the other side says.

What the heck are you talking about? Has nothing to do with anything I just posted, nor the topic as far as I can tell.

 

[Zxxv]

Congrats, you can copy and paste from Honoré de Balzac works.

The fact still remains, 1+1=2
And Alex Jones is in the business of spreading the belief that 1+1=3

Best of luck out there in the world. I'd like you to see how you function convincing any merchant that $3 is the sum of $1 and $1 by quoting Honoré de Balzac in the check out line at Whole Foods, Target, Starbucks or any place you frequent. lol
I would pay $1+$1=$3 to see that and rate it 5/7!

Bless your heart.

Alex Jones gives a different point of view. One you clearly find uncomfortable. I’ve not seen him peddle 1+1=3 but maybe you have info to show he has?

Ps...I know that two plus two equal four but it would be a mighty fine thing if I could show two plus two equal five.

There my own words, didn’t copy and paste. You know the originator right.

[Naaaaak]

You're using the conspiracy theorist strategy of "just asking questions ".

Resorting to the UD, huh?

Asking a question? Looks like you’re the “conspiracy theorist” now.

There's nothing conspiracy theory about these facts:

August 6:
Apple, Google, Facebook, Spotify, Pinterest: All terminate Info Wars accounts on the same date, without citing anything, all using the same language.
August 7:
Twitter: Suspends Libertarian Accounts, Including Ron Paul Institute Director
Democrat Senator: ‘Survival of our democracy’ depends on banning sites like InfoWars

You're going to hand-wave it all away and pretend there's nothing going on there?

Just a purge of both unconventional and influential thinkers on various social media sites, the day before and the day that 5 states -- Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Washington, and Ohio -- start voting (today, August 7, 2018).

 

[Fugabutacus]

What the heck are you talking about? Has nothing to do with anything I just posted, nor the topic as far as I can tell.

You're asking people to be open minded to opinion from the other side while denying peer-reviewed scientific data from the other side. Alanis Morrissette found rotting.

I'm sorry you're so unnerved that someone mentioned Fox news and you felt the need to get all defensive. I won't judge you for watching Fox, friend.

 

[thadoggfather]

Fox News was not included in the Disney deal.

As far as I’ve read they’re gonna do a “spin off” rebranding it under another umbrella of assets but still operate under 20th century fox

I could be wrong. But fact still remains Fox News is loaded w never trumpers: cavuto, Shepherd Smith, that British bald guy, Megan Kelley before peacing out (trash), controlled democratic opposition on the five like Juan Williams and probably more I’m not aware of that are McCain butt kissers cause I seldom watch Fox News. I find it obnoxious like most mainstream media. Not as much but obnoxious is Obnoxious

Shepherd is the worst

No Just be consistent in how you
Lay out an argument

The way
You included it in the mix you made it seem like their stellar ratings are because conservatives are in house and senate and gov made it so. When in reality it’s Just people that decided to tune in - the free market

Fox News isn’t for me since you’re so curious. I’m not over 70 and on a slow drip IV. But just because I say that doesn’t mean I have to love cnn either

Can we get back to digesting infowars app being #4 in news apps on App Store?

I love the outrage

Incorrect. You're inferring what I never implied. The point was simply that all this whining from you and others about how hard you're being silenced flies in the face of what the rest of us like to call "reality based thinking".

One network, which is popular because people decided to tune in of their own will, has nothing to do with discrediting being silenced. You gaslight people into thinking censorship isnt happening. It is. it plain as day is.

Look at Twitter and shadow bans. Every other person I see in replies (with QF off) has a red X next to their username. Shadowban dot eu. You can check them out and verify for yourself. These liberal CEO weirdos would rather burn their company and reputations to the ground than let conservatives speak for a bit which wont be effective for their long term strategy anyways. Because they know midterms are looking extremely grim for them. And 2020.

Russiagate and straws and hate are your core arguments going head first into midterms. Well see how well its resonated with USA. All your rambling and your party is gonna get rocked. So keep rambling cause it isnt gonna make a lick of difference all this wasted negative energy of hysteria.



....Are you even aware of what the subject of this thread is?

You can fling insults but you cant examine uncomfortable current events worth a p1ss. It’s shameful.

 

[BaldiMac]

That's fair and I agree GWB was a disaster. I also believe Obama was a bigger disaster. No Obama without Bush. No Trump without Obama. We are where we are because we have had ****** leadership on both sides. That cannot be disputed.

Calling Obama a bigger disaster is simply partisan nonsense. Bush left us in a recession and started a major war based on misinformation. There's a big difference between that and the ACA or Iran deal when combined with a strong economy and low unemployment.

As far as I’ve read they’re gonna do a “spin off” rebranding it under another umbrella of assets but still operate under 20th century fox

Fox News will still be controlled by the Murdoch Family. It was not included in the Disney deal.

I could be wrong. But fact still remains Fox News is loaded w never trumpers: cavuto, Shepherd Smith, that British bald guy, Megan Kelley before peacing out (trash), controlled democratic opposition on the five like Juan Williams and probably more I’m not aware of that are McCain butt kissers cause I seldom watch Fox News. I find it obnoxious like most mainstream media. Not as much but obnoxious is Obnoxious

So, you're upset that Fox News has more than one viewpoint? Wow.

 

[GuruZac]

Yeah yeah, sure. The same group cheering on baby jails and nazi border policies telling everyone it's the other side that are the real nazis because Alex Jones' podcast isn't available on iTunes. Gotcha.

I would be separated from my parents if I broke the law too. It is unfortunate that the kids have to suffer for poor judgement of the parents. And those nazi policies were not written or created by Trump. They existed under the last administration, but Obama simply kicked the immigration can down the road. Trump has written no new laws for immigration. He can't wave a magic wand and grant amnesty to millions of people here illegally. And what's worse is enforcing immigration laws are now consider...wait for it...you guessed it! Racist. Unbelievable.

So, you're upset that Fox News has more than one viewpoint? Wow.

Of course not. Don’t be shocked by arguments I haven’t made that you’ve made for me. Wow.

I Just pointed out that Fox News itself isnt even 100% in lockstep with Trump, by any means, unlike how liberals are quick to portray and use that as their talking point
