Free speech advocates struck a critical blow in the war against Big Tech and global elites’ censorship of conservative voices, including Breitbart News, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow explained on Real Talk with Marissa Streit.
Yet without the work of Jordan and his team over the past year and a half, GARM’s egregious abuses may never have been brought to light.GARM “is one of these Orwellian names that sounds like — oh, who wouldn’t like a Global Alliance for Responsible Media? That sounds incredible,” Marlow explained. Marlow credits Jordan and his staff for acquiring “smoking gun evidence that part of what doing, if not the main thing that they’re doing, is trying to put pressure on advertisers to not buy advertising real estate on conservative outlets.”
said, “before Breitbart crossed the line, started spouting blatant misinformation, we had long discussions about whether we should include them on an exclusion list.” So, boycott list — they wanted to boycott Breitbart for getting advertising and for getting media buys. So he says, “as much as we hated their ideology and B.S.” — he did not use the letters — “we couldn’t really justify blocking them for misguided opinion.” So he admits he looks into it.
Streit pointed out that those activities seem to represent an antitrust violation. “Jim Jordan’s office clearly thought that was the case,” Marlow replied. “I think Elon Musk’s people agreed,” he said, asserting that Jordan’s work, amplified by Musk’s lawsuit, put “the writing was on the wall” for GARM, which voluntarily disbanded under the pressure.Unfortunately, GARM’s takedown is no silver bullet to end censorship of conservatives.
Unfortunately, Breitbart and many others negatively impacted by censorship don’t have the resources to fight every front in the war against censorship, which is why Jordan’s work has been so crucial. Marlow described another tactic used by censors, citing Breitbart’s experience with Sleeping Giants — “the OGs of online cancel culture censorship” — and how that battle reshaped media advertising. He argued that by introducing new methods initially intended to silence conservatives, censors created an atmosphere that ultimately damaged establishment newsrooms by “resetting advertisers’ thinking about the news industry and where their advertisers should appear.
Marlow and Streit discussed NewsGuard, another censorship entity, which Marlow said held Breitbart in good standing “until September of 2020 – you might know when that might be, a little bit before a pretty big event,” referring to the November 2020 presidential elections.“They want to do next ElectionGuard, so they want to have a spin off that’s going to be involved in policing elections,” Marlow said.
“Do you think that his State Department is going to be hostile to anything Google is doing? Of course not,” Marlow said.
