Big Tech went after Parler and crushed it, blaming it for what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

But as some media has been reporting, Facebook and Twitter played a bigger role in the planning than did Parler.

So, now it appears the frenzy that Big Tech helped whip up in censoring people may be coming back to bite them

Now, some in the media are calling for them to be booted, too.

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough lost their minds against the two social media platforms. They blamed Facebook for their algorithms which they claimed incited insurrection.

Mika screamed at Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Are they kidding? They work for MSNBC which was even worse than CNN in spreading division and ridiculous conspiracy theories about Russia collusion and President Donald Trump being an agent of Putin. There are still God-knows-how-many people on the left who believe that stupidity because of MSNBC. At what point do they take responsibility for what they did and their own network?

As I reported previously, CNN was also agitating for shutting down/reducing the reach of their competition including Newsmax, OAN, and right-wing influencers.

This is scary stuff. Everyone should be against this censorship, even for people and networks they don’t like. The way you combat fake news, like what Mika and Joe spread, is by more speech, calling out their lies. That’s why they want to take out any new media that might be different. They apparently would even take out Facebook and Twitter in their anti-speech madness.

They want to shut down their competition but when they start on this madness, do they really think it stops there, when they whip this stuff up?

Cable news talking heads screaming at social media companies for spreading divisive, inciting, and false information is peak hypocrisy.

I mean, these people work in cable news. https://t.co/SxlES3nCIg

Over the last 24 hours, CNN has lobbied to get OAN/Newsmax shut down, and MSNBC is lobbying for Facebook to be shut down.

If they’re successful I'm sure that’s when this trend stops and
everything else will be allowed to remain. https://t.co/gKqtbdKkWc

If you disagree with Mika and Joe’s call for the government to shutdown Facebook, be sure to send them a strongly worded message through one of their three official Facebook pages: https://t.co/rvF9pwAMBmhttps://t.co/Sv39wDSvzehttps://t.co/dSSbgI7SLp
