With the help of Democrats in Congress, Big Tech has launched an assault against freedom of speech – one of the most important pillars of our nation – under the guise of so-called “Net Neutrality”. Read all »

News Alert: Colorado Republican pushes Internet regulations too extreme even for Obama
Why is a Republican member of Congress backing new government Internet regulations that are even more extreme than what Obama pushed during his presidency?
That’s what the Media Equality Project would like to know. To call attention to this baffling matter, we have unveiled a new digital billboard in Denver.
From our press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 26, 2018
Media Equality Project Exposes Rep. Mike Coffman for Selling out Colorado to Big Tech
Billboard in Coffman’s District Encourages Constituents to Ask Him Why he Chose Silicon Valley Elites Over Consumers
BOSTON, MA – Today, the Media Equality Project launched a billboard on S. Parker Road in Denver calling out Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) for caving to Democrats and Silicon Valley elites by supporting legislation that would reinstate so-called net neutrality regulations that big tech monopolies like Facebook and Google helped to draft under President Obama.
Big tech billionaires have lobbied Congress to support a Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reverse the decision to repeal Obama-era net neutrality regulations that never actually applied to the massive internet corporations of Silicon Valley that violate these principles on a daily basis. Reinstating these regulations gives Silicon Valley goliaths, like Google, Amazon and Facebook, free reign to continue to abuse our trust, manipulate information across their platforms, and censor lawful content that goes against their interests or political agenda without any transparency.
“This month, Rep. Coffman became the first Republican in the House to support the Democrat-led CRA, putting his support behind far-left policies and the activists pushing them. Mike Coffman would like for the federal government to micromanage networks while big tech monopolies get a free pass to censor, block and manipulate information online. Furthermore, Coffman even went so far as to introduce his own piece of legislation to preserve what he also calls ‘net neutrality,’ while including language that favors big tech over his own constituents,” said Brian Maloney, co-founder of Media Equality Project.
“After Amazon opened a fulfillment center in his district just two months ago, Rep. Coffman threw his conservative principles to the wind, favoring Obama’s big government policies that provide a false illusion of protection over any real online protections that would also apply to Google and Facebook. His constituents deserve to know why their representative is putting far-left Democrats and their allies in California above efforts to put in place real internet rights for all users,” Maloney added.

NBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Huckabee Sanders – ‘wring her neck’
Press Release
Media Equality Project asks MSNBC advertisers: Do you support violence against women?
NBC’s Nicolle Wallace regarding Sarah Huckabee Sanders: ‘Wring her neck’
Has the media’s double-standard on political commentary gone way too far?
Just last month, Fox News Channel host Laura Ingraham faced an organized advertiser boycott simply for accusing David Hogg of “whining” about his failure to be admitted to key universities. Led by the George Soros-funded Media Matters, the resulting campaign resulted in at least two dozen advertisers abandoning her show.
Yet something far worse occurred yesterday on left-wing rival MSNBC, with host Nicholle Wallace asking a correspondent (referring to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders), “How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck? Why can’t she just say if a staffer said that, we’re going to get to the bottom of it and she’ll be fired?”
“The Media Equality Project defends the First Amendment and stands with Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But we will not support Wallace’s violent and abusive rhetoric. Where is the left’s outrage here?” asked MEP Co-Founder Brian Maloney.
Wallace called for choking Sanders as a form of retribution for not answering a question to her expectations. And just last week, CNN’s April Ryan and the Baltimore Mayor challenged the latter to a street fight. This type of hateful and violent rhetoric on a national platform should not be condoned.
“In this environment, televised support for violence is simply not acceptable. We are calling on sponsors to discontinue advertising with MSNBC and Wallace. What if Ingraham had called for Hogg to be choked?” asked MEP Co-Chair Megan Barth.
And while Wallace apologized earlier today, we would note that Ingraham did as well, yet still faced an ongoing boycott campaign.
This double-standard in today’s media can no longer be tolerated.
The Media Equality Project’s 111,000 activists at StopTheScalpings on Facebook have created tweet packs and templates for our members on mediaequalizer.com. Our activists will target her sponsors with tweets, phone calls and emails.
The Media Equality Project believes the hateful, misogynistic rhetoric of Nicole Wallace should not be supported or protected by her employer, MSNBC, or its sponsors.
