The report sparked an immediate outcry on social media, where the video has been largely banned on Facebook and YouTube.

Sinclair Broadcasting on Saturday said it will delay its scheduled airing of a news segment featuring a viral conspiracy theory surrounding Anthony Fauci's role in the Covid-19 pandemic.

America This Week host Eric Bolling was scheduled to air an interview with Judy Mikovits, a medical researcher featured in the "Plandemic" video that claims Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, was responsible for the creation of the coronavirus, Media Matters reported.

The report sparked an immediate outcry on social media, where the video has been largely banned on platforms including Facebook and YouTube. "I recognize that this segment does need to be reworked to provide better context, and as such we are delaying the airing of the episode for one week," Bolling said in a statement posted to his Twitter feed on Saturday afternoon.

Comment: Hard to believe Bolling didn't do his homework as Dr. Mikovits has been forthcoming with her viewpoints for months. There may be more to this media threat than he is willing to reveal, given CNN is openly forcing censorship while the public puppets, on cue, buttress their mind wall:
CNN has whipped up an army of outraged Twitter liberals after it slammed a network of local news stations for airing an interview with a disgraced scientist who blamed Dr Anthony Fauci for the coronavirus.

Her appearance alone rubbed CNN the wrong way. In an article slamming Sinclair for airing such a "baseless conspiracy theory," CNN hammered Bolling for allowing Mikovits to "continue to make her case" without pushing back enough. CNN even texted both Bolling and Mikovits' fellow guest Larry Klayman, a lawyer who backed up her claims, to ask them about the segment.

Taking a page from the Media Matters playbook, CNN asked Bolling if he had any "second thoughts" about airing the segment. Bolling simply replied "I don't second guess my producers and bookers."

Online, CNN's liberal viewership clamored for a boycott of Sinclair. Some even demanded that anyone spreading such "dangerously false propaganda" be imprisoned.




CNN's gripe with Bolling seemed to stem from the fact that he didn't appropriately ridicule Mikovits. Bolling did call her claim "hefty," and afterwards interviewed Dr Nicole Saphier, a medical contributor for Fox News. Both Bolling and Saphier agreed on air that it was "highly unlikely" that Dr Fauci created the coronavirus, calling the allegation a "conspiracy theory."

Whatever its standing in the information war, CNN is losing the ratings war against Sinclair and its affiliates. Local broadcasters like the 294 owned or operated by Sinclair and its subsidiaries draw in five times as many primetime viewers as cable networks like CNN. Among these local broadcasters, Sinclair is king, reaching 40 percent of American households.


Proponents of the boycott celebrated their victory on Twitter:


Amid a recent upsurge in 'cancel culture,' few campaigns have brought a company to its knees as fast as Saturday's blitz by CNN. For Bolling and his colleagues at Sinclair it's back to the studio to reshoot their offending segment at CNN's behest.

Change of plans for The Sinclair Broadcast Group as they opt out of airing the entire interview. By acquiescing to threats and demands, SBG has reinforced the message that Covid is indeed a shut case and we should just accept the going narrative to our mental, physical and societal detriment. Sinclair was gagged and CNN's suspect 'viewer response' shows the workings and extent of MSM indoctrination:
The Sinclair Broadcast Group will not air a controversial interview with a Covid-19 'conspiracy' researcher, opting to toss the segment altogether.

CNN and other mainstream outlets lead the charge to denounce the conspiracy-laden segment.

In the now-scrapped interview, Mikovits reportedly told host Eric Bolling that Fauci had helped to manufacture and transport coronavirus samples to a research lab in Wuhan, where the Covid-19 pandemic is thought to have originated - one among several questionable claims to also feature in the 'Plandemic' film, which has been widely censored online.

Though it's unclear what prompted Monday's decision, CNN reported that local TV stations around the US had received complaints from viewers, who requested that they not air the segment.

Best of the Web: How LGBT nonprofits and their billionaire patrons are reshaping the world

Transgender ideology is being pushed on us by corporate interests through their philanthropic arms.

In an August 2018 New Yorker article, Elizabeth Kolbert asks, "Are today's donor classes solving problems or creating new ones?" Kolbert describes a form of charity that aims to not just help people but to improve them. This "improvement" aligns with the giver's particular vision of what constitutes improvement, of course. And the people who need to be improved are treated as children — for whom the donor, naturally, gets to decide what is best.

Kolbert describes how this form of giving becomes exploitation. We might add: not just exploitation, but elite-driven, highly self-interested social engineering. We see these characteristics on brilliant display in the philanthropy behind the modern LGBT movement.

It's not quite Robin Hood, but it's close. Russia's Ministry of Finance is planning to transfer the confiscated suspicious savings of Russian citizens to the country's pension fund, according to newly proposed amendments.

So, if you can't prove where your money came from, it's going to the old folks.

As things stand, illegally held assets can be seized by the state. If the proposed new amendments pass through parliament, any money taken because the owner can't prove the source of the moolah will be sent to the Russian Pension Fund (PFR), which is responsible for payments to pensioners and other forms of social security.

United Nations official suggests Trump administration is violating "protesters'" rights

This is what we have been warning about.

For over a month, the United Nations has been carrying out a 'human rights investigation' against the United States. First, they were investigating the US over "systemic racism." They ordered the United States to crack down on police officers, otherwise the UN would mount an intervention. Yes, this is really what the UN Human Rights Council said last month...

When they learned that only 9 unarmed black people were shot by police last year, and of them, only two were not in the process of attacking a police officer or bystander, the UN shifted their strategy. They realized that they cannot launch a blue-helmet intervention on such a flimsy basis.

Amid Iran-US tensions, Tehran's troops have practiced overpowering an aircraft carrier - using a mock-up in lieu of the real thing - during a massive exercise. The fake warship was attacked from the air and circled by speedboats.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the final leg of The Great Prophet joint exercise on Tuesday, deploying troops from several of its branches. The drill was held in the southern province of Hormozgan as well as the western part of the Strait of Hormuz.

One of the highlights of the exercise was the assault on a mock aircraft carrier, made to resemble the Nimitz-class ships of the US Navy, complete with models of warplanes parked on its deck. Iranian paramilitary forces fired a missile from an attack helicopter and rappelled a commando unit onto the ship, while speed boats were circling around it, footage of the drill released to Iranian media shows.

The COVID-19 pandemic is being used to facilitate the efforts of a select few to create a one-world government with power concentrated in the hands of an elitist group of billionaires.

In March 2020, the United Nations New World Order (UNNWO) announced their annual International Day of Happiness global campaign, along with a call for solidarity and unity in the global fight against COVID-19.1 The campaign theme, according to UNNWO, was:2

Best of the Web: Eco-genocide, genetically engineered mosquito armies and subduing populations

Bill gates mosquito
The enemies of life are breeding their own agents of ecological destruction aided and abetted by an incompetent EPA and a rubber-stamp government in Florida, which just gave unanimous approval for the release of hundreds of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes by a company with deep ties to Bill Gates, the US military, and Big Ag.

In a move sure to stun future generations — should we survive long enough to have any — seven Florida government agencies, including those charged with protecting its health, agriculture and environment, made a complete mockery of the trust afforded to them by the people of the state to oversee these vital matters and may have just pulled the trigger on a catastrophic environmental collapse.

The unanimous approval to allow the deployment starting this summer of over 1.2 billion genetically modified mosquitoes in Key Haven, Monroe County, Florida over a period of two years could very well decimate a substantial part of Florida's natural flora and fauna, taking dozens of endangered species to the brink of extinction and irrevocably changing the habitat of the thousands of local birds, plants, amphibians and insects that make up Florida's ecology.

That's rich: Facebook sues EU antitrust regulator for excessive data requests

Facebook is suing EU antitrust regulators for seeking information beyond what is necessary, including highly personal details, for their investigations into the company's data and marketplace, the U.S. social media group said on Monday.

Facebook has been under EU competition enforcers' scrutiny since last year, with one investigation focused on its trove of data and the other on its online marketplace launched in 2016 and used by 800 million Facebook users in 70 countries to buy and sell items.

The company has since then provided 315,000 documents equivalent to 1.7 million pages to the Commission.

"The exceptionally broad nature of the Commission's requests means we would be required to turn over predominantly irrelevant documents that have nothing to do with the Commission's investigations, including highly sensitive personal information such as employees' medical information, personal financial documents, and private information about family members of employees," Facebook associate general counsel Tim Lamb said in a statement.

"We think such requests should be reviewed by the EU Courts."

The Commission said it would defend its case in court.

Comment: Privacy violations: okay when Facebook does it, not when others do it to Facebook.

Where's the outrage over Britain providing training on 'how to be a better despot' for some of the world's dodgiest regimes?

New evidence shows that the UK is hosting intelligence training for some of the world's most oppressive regimes, which have been involved in numerous atrocities. Why is it not being held to account for this?

The news that Britain is once again knee-deep in some seriously sordid affairs is disappointing, but hardly a surprise. In today's increasingly globalized world, it's nigh-on impossible to remain free from any connection to questionable regimes.

But the Queen's government has sunk even further, as it's reportedly been actively reaching out to despots, dictators and democracy deniers, according to documents obtained by Declassified UK.

It's been sending out a glossy sales brochure to entice the world's rogues to sign up and learn how to abuse their power more efficiently.

The man who wasn't there: Biden campaign declines Fox interview, one week after Chris Wallace's Trump sitdown

During his interview with Chris Wallace last week, President Trump questioned whether the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee, Joe Biden, could handle the barrage of questioning that Wallace posed to Trump.

The answer to that question - at least for now - we may never know.

Wallace on Sunday informed viewers that the Biden campaign told Fox News he was "not available" for an interview.

"In our interview last week with President Trump, he questioned whether his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, could handle a similar encounter," Wallace said. "This week, we asked the Biden campaign for an interview and they said the former vice president was not available."

He added, "We'll keep asking every week."

The Trump campaign has hit Biden for months for abstaining from holding rallies and news conferences while continuing to do interviews amid the coronavirus pandemic. While Biden recently has returned to the stump, Trump and his allies continued to mock the former vice president for "hiding" in his home in Delaware.

Biden's reticence to do public events, however, has done little to hurt his candidacy as the latest polls had Biden comfortably ahead of Trump both nationally and in key battleground states.
