Conservative author and radio host Rush Limbaugh promoted the latest article by conservative law professor and writer Glenn Reynolds in USA Today on Monday.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Glenn Reynolds called on Trump on Monday to breakup the tech monopolies like his predecessor Teddy Roosevelt did back in the early 1900s.<\/div>\n
Donald Trump must bust Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google monopolies like Teddy Roosevelt.<\/a><\/div>\n
Rush\u00a0 discussed this article<\/a>\u00a0on Monday:<\/div>\n

RUSH: Glenn Harlan Reynolds, who\u2019s a friend and a law professor at the University of Tennessee, has a column out today in USA Today saying that Trump has got\u2026 Forget prison or anything else. If Trump doesn\u2019t get a handle on the monopolies that exist now \u2014 Facebook, Google, Netflix, and (What\u2019s the other one?) Amazon, the social media titans \u2014 that if this not gotten handle on, we don\u2019t have a prayer because they have monopolized social media, and in the process of monopolizing it and mass media, they are excluding anything and everybody conservative.<\/div>\n
So Glenn\u2019s piece today is suggesting that Trump needs to do his own version of Teddy Roosevelt and bust \u2019em up. Teddy Roosevelt busted up the trusts, among them Standard Oil, the Rockefeller family, and J. P. Morgan, who was on the verge (chuckles) of owning the United States financial markets. Do you know back in the late 1800s, early 1900s, when the federal government needed money, they went to J. P. Morgan to borrow it? Before there was a tax code, before there was a tax system, they went to J. P. Morgan to get money. Well, J. P. Morgan was one of the trusts that Teddy Roosevelt busted up.<\/div>\n
I\u2019ll tell you, Glenn Reynolds makes a pervasive case in this \u2014 and even if he hadn\u2019t made it, it\u2019s a scary thing. You know, I don\u2019t like monopolies, and I really hate government intervention, but this social media stuff is getting totally out of hand, especially, folks\u2026 There\u2019s now polling data. I forget where a term. I\u2019ll find it just a second. It\u2019s a credible polling unit. Do you know that 42% of the American people believe that the Russians meddled with votes in 2016? This has been one of the most successful hoaxes that has ever been run in politics.<\/div>\n
This has been one of the most successful disinformation campaigns ever, the fact that the Russians and Trump colluded to steal the election. There isn\u2019t any evidence! In fact, in announcing the latest series of indictments, Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, made it clear that in none of the indictment that Mueller has announced is there any allegation or evidence that a single vote was tampered with! Yet you read newspaper accounts of this or watch cable news accounts, they don\u2019t even mention that that has been acknowledged and admitted by the government.<\/div>\n
They continue with the myth that not only did Trump and the Russians collude, but the Russians tampered with vote totals. It did not happen, and yet 42% of the American people believe it largely because of the media \u2014 and social media, which is one of the biggest promotional groundswells for that point of view. You talk about misinformation and disinformation? This is profound. There is no evidence that any of this happened!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Read the rest\u00a0 here.<\/a><\/div>\n
As The Gateway Pundit\u00a0 reported earlier<\/a>\u2026..<\/div>\n
On Tuesday night, after the votes were counted, Democrats took control of the US House of Representatives.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wealthy\u00a0suburban voters and women<\/a>\u00a0are being credited for the win.<\/strong><\/div>\n
At least 35 Republican lawmakers lost their seats last Tuesday night.<\/div>\n
Democrats have a huge advantage over Republicans with their partners in the media complex, Hollywood, and academia.<\/h3>\n
And, unlike 2016, this year Democrats can also can give a huge amount of credit to Tech giants Google, Facebook and Twitter.<\/h3>\n
Suburban voters and women no longer were reading conservative articles on Facebook.\u00a0 Facebook eliminated at least\u00a0 1.5 billion links<\/a>\u00a0to conservative articles since 2017.\u00a0 If you add additional websites like The Gateway Pundit, Infowars, Young Cons, Right Wing News, etc. the number tops 2 billion easy.\u00a0 And it likely made a difference on Tuesday night.\u00a0 80% of women age 18-49 have Facebook accounts.\u00a0 These are the women who get their news from Facebook.\u00a0 Facebook knows this and eliminated conservative content on their platform so there would be no repeat of 2016.<\/div>\n
$\"alt\"$ <\/div>\n
It\u2019s no secret that the Silicon Valley tech giants discriminate against conservatives and conservative content.<\/strong><\/div>\nIn August President Trump warned Google about it\u2019s\u00a0 biased practices<\/a>\u00a0against conservatives and conservative content in their search feature.<\/div>\n
Facebook has been\u00a0 shutting down traffic<\/a>\u00a0to conservative websites since the 2016 election.<\/div>\n
The Gateway Pundit recently spoke with two of the top conservative publishers in America.<\/strong><\/div>\nFloyd Brown<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a conservative author, speaker and media commentator. In 2008 Floyd launched\u00a0 Western Journal<\/a>\u00a0which quickly became one of the top conservative websites in America. By 2016 Floyd\u2019s organization of Western Journal and other conservative websites under his umbrella had more than a billion page views.\u00a0Since 2016 Floyd\u2019s organization lost 75% of its Facebook traffic.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Likewise, we spoke with\u00a0Jared Vallorani<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0Klicked Media<\/strong><\/a>. Jared traveled to Washington DC with The Gateway Pundit and website owners at\u00a0100%FedUp<\/a>\u00a0in June to discuss Facebook targeting against conservative publishers with Republican lawmakers.\u00a0Jared told The Gateway Pundit his organization Klicked Media, which hosts over 60 conservative websites, lost 400 million page views from Facebook in the last six months if you compare the traffic to a year ago.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Jared said, \u201cWe lost 70% to 80% of our traffic if you compare January to May 2017 vs Jan to May 2018.\u201d<\/div>\n
If you combine the total number of page-views lost by just these two conservative online publishers you are looking at a loss of over 1.5 billion page-views from Facebook in one year.<\/h3>\n
These are numbers from just two of the top conservative publishers in America.\u00a0 This does not include the thousands of other conservative publishers across the country who lost all of their traffic coming from Facebook.\u00a0 Here at The Gateway Pundit our Facebook traffic has been effectively eliminated after we were ranked as the 4th most influential conservative publisher in the 2016 election.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The fact that Facebook is targeting conservative publishers should not be a surprise to Gateway Pundit readers.<\/div>\n
We have been reporting on this for several months now. In July we released a study where we looked at several top conservative websites and discovered that the publishers had \u00a0lost an average of 93%<\/a>\u00a0of their Facebook traffic.<\/div>\n
This is a bloodbath.\u00a0 Facebook has wiped out conservative content to American subscribers.<\/strong><\/div>\nThis influence map below by Columbia Journalism Review shows the top influencers during the 2016 election.<\/h3>\n
$\"alt\"$ <\/div>\n
And here is that same map showing the conservative publishers who have been targeted by Facebook since 2017.<\/h3>\n
$\"alt\"$ <\/div>\n
Facebook has eliminated content from a vast majority of top conservative publishers since 2017.<\/strong><\/div>\nIn 2016 suburban voters and women would check their Facebook pages and get conservative news.\u00a0 That is no longer the case.\u00a0 And on Tuesday these voters chose Democrats.<\/h3>\n
Facebook has wiped out conservative publishers. Americans will no longer see articles from conservative websites even if you follow them. Facebook took advertising dollars from all of these businesses and then changed their business plan after the 2016 election.<\/div>\n
Facebook wants to pretend this was not a political decision. Yet, several top liberal activist groups: Media Matters, Share Blue, CREW and American Bridge,\u00a0made it a priority in early 2017<\/a>\u00a0to work with the liberal tech giants to undermine President Trump and ensure that liberals gain control of Congress and the presidency in 2020.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The tech giants did just that.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
