The Rebel News Thread

[silentkisser]

O'Toole, was a total loser. That's why the conservatives, got rid of him as leader. O'Toole should have been nicer to rebel news, it certainly wouldn't have hurt him.

Actually, yeah it could have. I know you're caught up in the right-wing echo chamber. But the reality is that many Canadians see Rebel for what they are. Not a legit news source with very questionable views....and I'm sure many view them as toxic. So, O'Toole embracing them likely would have turned off a lot of on-the-fence voters.

Ummm...No, he was demonetized because he repeatedly broke YouTube's terms of service and rules. I don't think Google is sacrificing anything. They make money selling ads, right? But here might be a shocker: big named brands don't want anything to do with toxic streamers like Matt Walsh....or Tucker Carlson for that matter. Do you think P&G want's to be associated with some of the racist and misogynistic crap he spews out? I mean, do you see big names sponsoring other controversial streamers/influencers on the left? You seem to think that anyone can say anything on YouTube, and if it gets viewers they should make money. Now, I'm not totally against this point of view, but the reality is YouTube is a private company who can control what content goes on the service.

So, you can blame a "left" agenda. You can think they're leaving money on the table. But the reality is YouTube/Google/Alphabet are concerned about generating ad revenue. If Matt Walsh et al didn't say offensive and racists stuff all the time, and Coke or Apple or GM wanted their ads to roll during his videos, they would LOVE HIM!!!

And, just so we understand what's going on here, this has nothing to do with the US First Amendment. Walsh isn't being punished for what he says by the government. He's being punished because he can't follow the rules.

Now, if you can prove to me that YouTube does this only to right-wing commentators, find me someone on the Left that posts similar stuff and isn't being demonetized.

We'll wait....

Yes, but Dylan Mulvaney, didn't do very well for the Bud Light Brand, did he/she??.....LMAO

IMHO, no left wing you tuber is ever demonetized. That's why the liberals and Dems, win most of the elections.

O'Toole is a disaster. I also doubt Pierre will beat Justin, in the next election, because Justin pays off all the media, accept for rebel news. That's why rebel news, is the only media outlet, that tells, "the other side of the story", because Justin doesn't give rebel any money. IMHO, it's good for canadians, to know, "the other side of the story."

Huh? That's hilarious. I guess the GOP taking back the house last November was a blip. Or Doug Ford winning a new mandate. Maybe left wing youtubers aren't being demonetized because they are following the rules and don't spout toxic bullshit....Just a few thoughts....

Mitch, are you going to watch CNN tonight at 8 pm.? Too bad they are protecting him by having a Repuglian Twat audience.

Trump says CNN town hall appearance could turn into 'disaster for all'

CNN said it was just giving him a platform it will give other candidates.

Apparently Rebel is in serious trouble again....PayPal has dropped them as a customer!

HELP: PayPal is trying to shut down Rebel News!

PayPal, the online credit card processor, just cut off Rebel News. I really need your help. I hate to say it, but this could actually destroy us.

www.rebelnews.com

So, they're now suing and are asking people to donate $150K to cover the expense....

I'm going to say this: I think this stinks. As you can probably tell, I'm no fan of Rebel. BUT....what did they do that was against PayPal's terms or service? And the fact there was apparently no warning or recourse to correct this bothers me. If someone wants to spend money on Rebel merch or a subscription....fine, fill your boots. I still don't consider them a legit news source.

Now, Ezra claims this is because they are conservative, which I highly doubt. But because PayPal has given no reason (apparently), Rebel can fill the void and make up any reason they want. And like others on this board....he's also blaming Justin Trudeau for some reason....But C'est la vie.

I'd like to hear the real reason why PayPal acted in this fashion. If Rebel was breaking its terms of service, then I'm 100% comfortable with them getting dropped. I do wonder if PayPal forces disputes to go to mediation...if so, the lawsuit is deader than disco...

Your impression of Rebel is very interesting. You think the media "hijacks" stories from them? Doubtful. Rebel does not set the news agenda. No newsroom across Canada is lamenting a supposed scoop by Ezra and crew. And politicians are smart. That's why they avoid Rebel. They know that a strong majority of Canadians think Rebel is cray-cray and extreme. That's why they don't have mainstream advertisers or PC candidates lining up to be guests. They know it is toxic. And I think O'Toole didn't want the group that went to the PPC. And, to be frank, looking at the number of votes PPC candidates got wouldn't have helped the PCs in the vast majority of races.

The media have picked up on many Rebel stories. The fact that you are unaware of that just shows me you don't watch much Rebel. Rebel makes a point of highlighting their stories that have gone mainstream.

Many politicians avoid Rebel to avoid facing tough questions. There are so many softball news agencies to choose from, particularly if you are a Liberal politician who supports government funding to media. However, the purpose of media for politicians is to grow their voter base. Unfortunately, these lame media outlets can't accomplish that, so doing those media spots is more for their ego than any constructive purpose.

Yup, great folks over there at Rebel News. It just makes one laugh at the 15 to 20% of lost folks.

Rebel News - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Rebel News (also known as The Rebel Media and The Rebel) is a Canadian far-right[2] political and social commentary media website operated by Rebel News Network Ltd. It has been described as a "global platform" for the anti-Muslim ideology known as counter-jihad

Former Sun News reporter Faith Goldy joined Rebel News after its launch,[13] but was fired for her coverage of the 2017 Charlottesville rally and for conducting an interview with The Daily Stormer.[14] A co-founder and two freelancers resigned in protest of the coverage.[15] Gavin McInnes, founder of the far-right neo-fascist[16][17][18] organization Proud Boys, was a contributor. McInnes departed in 2017, then temporarily rejoined the site for a period in 2019

And this is why Wikipedia is a useless resource when it comes to media or politics. They publish opinions as if they are facts. Based on the summary judgement in the Dominion lawsuit, maybe Ezra should sue Wikipedia? LOL!

Of course, anything that doesn't agree with your worldview is useless. LOL

How about your own party kicking Ezra to the curb?

Conservative Party: cut ties with White Supremacists

The Conservative Party has ties to a far-right website that broadcast live from Charlottesville with sympathetic coverage rationalizing the hateful event. Sign the petition

www.leadnow.ca

Unfortunately, now the party has a radical twat populist leader known as Pee Pee who may change that and make Rebel News his own version of CBC.

He SAYS he was demonetized. But then, he also habitually lies about pretty much any shit. His YT page is still up though.

C'mon, Dutch. You're still sore than Wiki wouldn't say that Ridin' Joe stole the 2020 election from Donny "Loser-Boy" Trump.
