Conservative News OANN announces it is switching to Rumble after feud with YouTube

One America News Network announced that it is making the switch to Rumble after a tumultuous relationship with YouTube.

“OANN decided to #MakeTheSwitch to #Rumble, where we can freely report the news without restrictions or censorship,” the network announced on Twitter. “Subscribe to our channel at http://rumble.com/OANN or download the Rumble app!”

The move comes a week after YouTube barred One America News Network from posting new videos and suspended its ability to monetize its existing content. The one-week ban was due to violating YouTube’s policy on COVID-19 misinformation after the network publicized a “cure” to the virus.

OANN was also suspended from YouTube’s Partner program, forcing the company to reapply if it wants to monetize its content again.

YouTube, which is owned by Google, has a “three-strikes” policy for violations of its terms of service before an account is permanently terminated. The recent suspension of OANN was the network’s first strike, and from now on will not receive any more warnings for violations of YouTube’s policies, only strikes.

In making the move to Rumble, OANN has joined a growing movement of conservatives who are switching to the YouTube alternative that bills itself as “free-speech friendly.” The video host was founded in 2013 and says it “provides video creators a way to host, manage, distribute, create OTT [over the top] feeds and monetize their content.”

Conservative political commentator Dan Bongino co-owns Rumble and says it is a place where “conservative views won’t be discriminated against.”

Bongino also co-owns Parler, a social media platform billed as a free-speech alternative to Facebook and Twitter.

President Trump has been a staunch supporter of OANN, encouraging his followers to watch the network after growing frustrated with some of the content on Fox News. Trump has called OANN “much better" than Fox’s weekend programming or CNN and “MSDNC.”

China Trolls the West’s Delusions and Hypocrisies - by Gregory Hood • 21 January 2021

Image
  Respectable political opinion in the West is mostly nonsense. Sometimes, even race realists become so used to the stupidity that we are like the fish who never notice water . Sometimes it takes China, a self-respecting civilization-state , to expose our elites’ silly beliefs and shameless hypocrisy. American journalists and politicians are in a moral panic over last week’s events. The supposed “failed insurrection” will be used to take away American liberties. However, the demonstrations on Capitol Hill were far tamer than the riots in Independence Square in Ukraine in 2013-2014 or in Hong Kong and Belarus a few months ago. Most American media outlets, left and right, treat those events sympathetically. Here’s how The New York Times covered Hong Kong in July 2019, when protesters stormed the legislature. Nancy Pelosi called pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong “a beautiful sight to behold.” She may not have been endorsing violence, but you can’t blame the...

US Capitalism Doesn't Work - Things That Can't Go On Forever... Don't - by Michael Hudson and Pepe Escobar (Consortium News)Dec 2020

Image
  Michael Hudson and Pepe Escobar last month took a hard look at rent and rent-seeking at the Henry George School of Social Science. Michael Hudson: Well, I’m honored to be here on the same show with Pepe and discuss our mutual concern. And I think you have to frame the whole issue that China is thriving, and the West has reached the end of the whole 75-year expansion it had since 1945. So, there was an illusion that America is de-industrializing because of competition from China. And the reality is there is no way that America can re-industrialize and regain its export markets with the way that it’s organized today, financialized and privatized and if China didn’t exist. You’d still have the Rust Belt rusting out. You’d still have American industry not being able to compete abroad simply because the cost structure is so high in the United States. The wealth is no longer made here by industrializing. It’s made financially, mainly by making capital gains. Rising p...

Turkey sentences female politician to prison for calling Erdogan ‘enemy of women’ - by Emily Judd (Al Arabiya English) 22 Sept 2020

Image
  A female politician in Turkey has been sentenced to 11 months in prison for calling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an enemy of women, according to media reports. Sebahat Tuncel was sentenced Saturday for saying Erdogan was a “complete misogynist” – a remark she mad four years ago. Tuncel’s attorney argued that the politician’s statement that “the president was an enemy of women and Kurds,” made during a 2016 speech, is “within the freedom of expression,” according to Turkish news outlet Duvar English. The court disagreed. Tuncel is just one of thousands of Turkish citizens who have received prison time for insulting the Turkish president. Police detain Sebahat Tuncel, co-chair of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Regions Party (DBP), during a protest against the arrest of Kurdish lawmakers, in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir, Turkey, November 4, 2016.
