Socialists, Communists, and Anarchist have always been undesirable in the eyes of the government yet for some reason its the far left advocating censorship on social media. They seem not to realize they will get the ban first. Now we have Wil Wheaton and other high Profile leftists threatening to delete their twitter accounts unless Jack Dorsey bans Alex Jones. Why would people want Jones banned if they can just mute him anyway? They claim it is to stop "abusive information" but what does that mean? Does that mean there must be an arbiter of truth who can guarantee something is not a lie? Many on the left call for censorship but then cry foul when their side gets censored. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtfaXlmLoiM&list=PLxQaod7tWvYLYmszYH2QVZbaCZTfh3yIQ&index=1 Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Tyler Blevins, aka Ninja, recently said he would not stream with women because people would then harass his family and accuse him of having an affair. People called him names and made accusations about Ninja over these statements. But is part and parcel of the social justice metoo era. Men don't want to be perceived as doing something wrong or inappropriate with women so they avoid interactions. In fact according to Lean In the number of men refusing to mentor, work with, or even socialize with women is going up, dramatically. So just why is it that men are refusing to work with women?

An Independent Journalist, Ford Fischer, had his livestream shut down in the middle of a broadcast for dubious reasons. Its possible it was an accident but the reason given why they deleted his broadcast seems totally incorrect. This isn't the first time Independent media has faced social media censorship and I have to worry that this is part of a trend.

CNN and Vox actually called out Antifa violence which some found surprising. Following this however activists in media called them out and criticized them for presenting a "false equivalence." The media tends to report the right as the violent ones but this is usually activist journalists at Huffpo and The Daily Beast. Larger outlets really are left with no choice but to report on this when 95% of the violence is from Antifa. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Antifa attacked journalists with NBC last night. It was just a quick hit and it seems everyone is ok. But this type of behavior is prevalent among far left protests so why doesn't the media talk about it? We heard that CNN personalities have faced threats and many people are upset with Trump for his rhetoric about the press. But the issue goes both ways.

There have been several instances where conservatives have mimicked tweets from liberals and been banned for it. Why does Twitter allow some speech and not others?Why do activists, who dont follow conservatives and even had them blocked, want them to be banned entirely? Its odd isn't it? If they and their friends can't see the content what is the issue?The issue is that these ideas can influence others and they don't want people to be able to hear what conservatives have to say.

Ben Shapiro's offer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was rebuffed with a comment likening it to catcalling. This caused an eruption in the hellscape that is twitter with people on both sides hooting and hawing. The left said it was a sign of male entitlement, the right said it was obvious fear of losing a debate. To me it says that the left is fractured in more ways than one. There needs to be more liberals willing to engage conservatives. UPDATE: After filming this video Ben responded to my questions "did he reach out to Cortez through traditional channels before making the appeal" by saying "No, we didn't. It was a rather spur-of-the-moment thing." Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eric Clanton, aka the Bike Lock Basher, received no jail time. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge and will face 3 years of probation for his alleged attacks on several individuals with a bike lock. We need to look at how the media is framing the narrative, that its always violent right wingers. In reality the right rarely protests and it is the far left that engages in the bulk of political street conflict Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

CNN Reporter Oliver Darcy said that it was not the social media companies that got Alex Jones and Infowars banned but weeks of pressure from the media. Darcy was one of the loudest voices critical of these platforms for supporting Infowars.But these companies are claiming Jones violating community standards, so which is it? Did the media pressure companies to ban fake news or did Jones violate community guidelines? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
