Conservative talk show host Mark Levin accused Facebook of censoring his posts and “pushing a left-wing agenda.” The social media platform has reportedly restricted Levin’s page for sharing false news.

“Every link I post is from a legitimate source,” Levin wrote on his Parler page. The official Facebook page for The Mark Levin Show has more than 1.5 million followers and more than 1.5 million likes. 

Levin has the fourth-largest talk radio audience behind Dave Ramsey, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh, respectively.

The heads of Facebook, Twitter, and Google are scheduled to virtually testify before Congress at the end of October on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which protects tech companies from liability over content posted by users.

Big tech companies have repeatedly denied that they are censoring conservative voices. In May, President Donald Trump signed an executive order cracking down on censorship by social media companies.

Parlar has become a popular choice for conservative analysts and personalities. The company’s CEO praised Mark Levin, calling him an important leader with a large base. “Millions of Americans look to him for news and analysis. Whether one agrees with him or not, it is important that Mr. Levin’s voice be heard,” said John Matze.

In addition to hosting a top-rated radio show, Mark Levin hosts Life, Liberty, and Levin on Fox.

According to NPR, there is no statistical evidence showing a conservative bias on Facebook. In fact, “conservative news regularly ranks among some of the most popular content on the site.”

Bill Handel: Elon Musk ‘Has Done Everything He Can to Destroy’ X

X owner Elon Musk elevated eyebrows around the media world Wednesday by declaring that advertisers who are boycotting the social media platform can “go f–k” themselves. KFI AM-640 host Bill Handel believes the move is another in a long line of bad decisions by the billionaire.

While discussing Musk’s comments, Handel argued that the comments won’t be overly helpful as Musk attempts to regain advertising dollars that left the platform after charges he posted anti-Semitic content. A Media Matters report detailed that large advertisers saw their advertisements placed directly next to other anti-Semitic content on the platform also led to the boycott.

“That’s an interesting move, by a CEO telling advertisers who are either about to leave or leaving because of controversy about the CEO of the company they’re advertising with. I don’t believe that’s a particularly good move,” Handel admitted. “It’s been at least 10 days, two weeks, since he posted the anti-Semitic comments and advertisers said ‘Thank you, we’re done’, up to this point.”

Handel continued by noting that a simple apology from Musk would have likely ended any pushback before other advertisers pulled their money.

“I think so. ‘Oops, I made a mistake. I’m sorry’, I don’t know,” Handel said before joking that Musk’s purchase of X was equal to an average person seeing candy bars at the checkout of a grocery store.

“He grabbed it without thinking. He has done everything he can to destroy that company, and he has done a brilliant job.”

Sean Hannity: ‘I Don’t Want to Be a Hall Monitor’ During DeSantis/Newsom Debate

“I told both sides I’m going to allow some breathing room. I don’t want to be a hall monitor. I really don’t. I don’t feel like Chris Wallace here.”

Fox News host Sean Hannity is set to moderate a debate between Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) Thursday, and he says he won’t be part of the story Friday morning.

During The Sean Hannity Show Tuesday, the longtime syndicated radio host said he has vowed to not overstep his duties as a moderator, despite what Newsom has told others.

“I’ve been working very hard on preparing for this debate and just laying out the topics and letting them go at it,” Hannity said. “I’m not going to be debating — Gavin has been saying ‘Two on one’, but nope. I’m just bringing up the topics.

“I’m not going to be debating. I will bring up the topic, try and make the question short, and let them get into it. If it warrants another follow-up, it warrants another follow-up…and the format, I think, is fair,” Hannity continued. “I told both sides I’m going to allow some breathing room. I don’t want to be a hall monitor. I really don’t. I don’t feel like Chris Wallace here.”

Fox News will present DeSantis vs. Newsom: The Great Red vs. Blue State Debate from 9-10:30 PM ET on Thursday. The debate will also be simulcast on FOX News Radio. After the debate, Hannity will provide a live reaction with a panel of guests from 10:30 to 11:00 PM/ET.
