[FULL TITLE] [HAVE WEB GIANTS DECLARED WAR ON CONSERVATIVES? Limbaugh: 'They would never think of themselves this way, but these are pure Stalinists']
Internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube may have, albeit quietly, declared war on conservatives, with new efforts to shut down their ability to get their message out.
And talk-radio icon Rush Limbaugh has identified what he believes is the ideology behind it.
“These people are pure – they would never think of themselves this way – but these are pure Stalinists. While they’re running around call[ing] Trump a Stalinist, they don’t even know what it really is,” he charged.
He pointed out that Facebook’s newly announced change in its newsfeed, which aims to give greater visibility to posts from “friends and family,” as Breitbart reported Tuesday, actually does much more.
“The subtext is that it will decrease visibility to pages run by publishers and news sites.”
The bottom line is that “Breitbart News’ 3.7 million Facebook fans will have to manually navigate to our Facebook page in order to find our articles, instead of having them automatically appear in their news feeds. They will not have a choice in the matter: Facebook will not allow users to stick with the old system, even if they prefer it,” he said.

Good thing there is still radio then?
Rush, start our own, with you spearheading it.
bttt
Good thing there is radio and Free Republic.
Let the churches, ministries, and non-profits be linked as a start.
Then a veterans group, and keep adding.
Get some real star power like Ted Nugent, Charlie Daniels, and Chuck Norris as spokespersons to get everyone else to TURNOFF that which is attempting to kill us.
Mods, start a permanent thread and let's mobilize for economic war as if we had a purpose.
Not to be too tinfoilish, but it seems so odd that they might simultaneously decide on their own to torch conservatives sites.
Might the "web giants" be an, ahem...
..."organized community"?
If so, to whom might they answer?
.
Zuckerberg has referred to himself as being the “Leader of Facebook”. Creepy!
We definitely need to have a battle plan. I already feel that I “fight” for conservative issues on Facebook, and I notice when some articles get no response (the shadow banning?). But we need to fight liberals where they are. More conservative sites are necessary, but liberals need to be shown these articles that they would not otherwise see.
I love Rush’s show. We need more conservative news stations on the radio....especially a morning drive show to contrast NPR.
