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.  Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

The New York Times is under fire after announcing the hiring of Sarah Jeong. Over two years Jeong made a serious of racist statements, in one instance calling white people "groveling goblins" among other offensive terms.The New York Times says this was just trolling and that she won't do this again, but they also mention that they knew she had made the posts. This is in stark contrast to the firing of Quinn Norton who did not make direct racist statements like Jeong yet was fired following a controversy over her use of certain words.So is this NYT being hypocrites or have outrage mob tactics stopped working?

Facebook has recently taken down 32 accounts that they believe were fake and pushing propaganda designed to target the left AND the right. The goal seems to be to get everyone to fight each other. When the media frames it only as Donald Trump and Putin colluding then people on the right assume its more trump derangement syndrome and don't take it seriously. When we hear about Russian trolls meddling too many people only hear about it targeting the right. But they want us fighting, they want the left and right at each others throats. And its working... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ouo8GrUNg0Y&list=PLxQaod7tWvYL-svWumeiRiecB2yrXODIR&index=2&t=0s Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Comedians are refusing to apologize for extremely offensive jokes and in some instances companies are backing them up. The cast of Guardians of the Galaxy have even come to the defense of James Gunn asking for people to stop weaponizing moral outrage.It would seem that regardless of whether the right acted in bad faith they have neutralized the left's moral outrage tactic and now high profile individuals like Trevor Noah are even pushing back on left wing activists.Political correctness and social justice outrage can only go so far if celebrities have to defend against the same tactics from conservatives and liberals.

Vice News has confirmed that prominent Republicans are getting censored and their Democratic counterparts are not. Twitter denies any intentional targeting saying its about behavior and not politics. but upon inspection Ronna McDaniels, the GOP spokeswoman was was shadowbanned, doesn't engage in any noticeable bad behaviors. So why is she banned and the DNC spokesperson is not? In the past video leaked showing Twitter engineers talka bout how they target Trump supporters "because they are all Russian." So is it possible twitter is lying? Or is it an accident that Twitter is targeting behaviors more associated with conservatives?

Ecuadorian president Moreno says that Assange violated the conditions of his asylum by being political but many say the real reason is that he wants to gain favor with the US, Spain, and the UK.

James Gunn was fired based on rules created by the far left. The right, like Mike Cernovich, is wielding moral outrage mobs against the establishment and many people feel it is in bad faith. In many instances the right is actually directing left wing social justice mobs against themselves, its not even just the tactic its actually the left eating its own But regardless of the intention the rules work. The moral outrage mob will consume anyone for any transgression and it has affected people on both sides. Offensive comedy is not allowed anymore and because of it people like Gunn are fired for saying things online. So is this really about James Gunn saying the wrong thing? Or is this right wing personalities like Cernovich and Posobiec wielding the left's own rules against itself? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.
