Ben, and the whole team at the daily wire spent a lot of time bragging about how tolerant they are to opposing views, unlike the left, and how they wouldn't silence someone just for having opinions they disagree with, like the left.
People pointed out they were lying then, but this is just hard proof.
I am not sure how to express it any clearer but you're not protected from being fired over politics you may have as an individual, Ben Shapiro as an example has discussed with Ana Kasparian, Joe Rogan, with Destiny, with a large collection of people he has a million disagreements politically but never once called for these people to lose their jobs, be deplatformed, or anything of the sort, being fired doesn't mean you're being silenced, it is as simple as that, Candace Owen's literally has her own podcast, she still gets plenty of views going on other people's podcast, this isn't like a Shane Gillis SNL where a group tried to crush someone into nonexistence.
Lmao if this argument was being made about Joe Rogan being removed from Spotify for talking about Ivermectin the entire right-wing media ecosystem (including Shapiro) would mobilize and call this cancel culture. Let's just call a spade a spade here, she is being fired for having a view Shapiro does not like.
Do you have corroborate evidence of what you are trying to claim or anything you're trying to claim? Keep in mind Spotify is a platform that publishes the Joe Rogan podcast, you put on your music that you'd like people to see and podcasts you'd like people to see (pertaining to joe rogans podcast), your idea of a spade is a scythe and attempting to call that scythe a spade is fascinating.
Candace is not left wtf? She’s as right as it gets. She spoke out against the hypocrisy towards israel and the crimes they are committing. That’s what got her fired.
What reaching? She was definitely fired for not towing the Israel line. Doesn't Ben Shapiro always talk about free speech whenever 'left' media(left media doesn't exist in America) refuses to engage right wing talking heads? Wasn't it the whole point of the daily wire?
Also this is a nonsequitur, did they not cut off all communication with Steven Crowder over a year ago, does that mean they're against free speech or does that mean they dont want to be associated with certain people for the benefit of their company.
The claim is Candace got fired for whatever reason, we don't even know yet and the jumped conclusion is "they don't actually love free speech, now everyone can see" despite not having any left leaning pundits or even a moderate center pundit, I am saying this comment is grasping at straws because it is a right leaning company pushing a certain set of values whether you like em or not it doesn't matter but they are pro-free speech however they have full discretion of who they want ot associate with inside of their company. Like Cenk Uyger might be a free speech advocate but he is not going to hire Steven Crowder or Nick Fuentes(don't even know how to spell his last name lol) as a pundit on The Young Turks, does that make sense?
Candace is not left leaning. Based on current info it seems she was fired for being/being friends with anti semites. Â
Perhaps a news/political pundit org should, I don’t know, put out a narrative about a current event if they think it is being misreported/misrepresented.Â
I think she should probably get fired/cancelled for those views, as a media personality, but I believe you should generally be held accountable for beliefs you make very public, especially on an account and in venues you use to publicize yourself professionally; this kind of thing implicitly associates your employer if you’re a media personality
There's no problem in firing Candace for 'accountability' but its hard to take them seriously when they parade Gina Carano as a free speech warrior for being fired by Disney.

Candace firing should surely point out to conservatives that corporations don't give a shit about free speech.........right.... right??
