The hosts of the conservative 'Ruthless' podcasts sounded the alarm on the Facebook whistleblower who testified on Capitol Hill this week--saying that she is being used as a means to censor political speech.
Josh Holmes kicked off the discussion by tackling the narrative that Frances Haugen, the former civic project manager for Facebook who testified this week before the Senate Commerce Committee, is some sort of"hero" for speaking out against Facebook's alleged wrongdoings.
Holmes said Burton was a former press aide in the Obama administration and is a board member for the Center for Humane Technology, a group that Holmes claims aims"to change content policies that favor corporate media over individual voices or alternative media." Holmes said Burton also served as a campaign adviser for Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn, who sits on the Senate committee that invited Haugen to testify.
"All the left-wing corporate media is basically like, 'Oh, conservatives are getting the most-viewed posts. We should attack Facebook. Make sure they're not heard,'" Smug said."And this is why I was so upset about what Senate Republicans did at this hearing yesterday, because first of all, if you ever have a congressional hearing where the Sunday before is previewed by ‘60 Minutes,’ hold on to your wallet," Holmes said.
