They tried to protect the nipple Nazi and alleged rapist (BTW, are there any legal actions against Platner for these allegations even being conducted?). But Big Tech, did all they could to shield this piece of shit by hidden all bad stories about him, up until it became clear that he would get trounced by Susan Collins.
Two of the most popular news-aggregating services systematically suppressed scores of articles about disgraced former Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner for months during his ill-fated campaign, until the weight of his scandals finally became too much to ignore, a shocking new study has found.
Media Research Center (MRC) revealed that both Apple News and Google News published exactly zero stories between last November and May covering controversies, including Platner’s Nazi tattoo and his offensive Reddit posts.
The study also found that the tech giants failed to promote “at least 112” news stories published by conservative-leaning outlets that investigated Platner’s disturbing history during that November-May period.
MRC President David Bozell went so far as to accuse the tech platforms of running a “protection racket” for Platner by memory-holing unflattering coverage as it slowly became obvious the left had erred in holding him up as a blue-collar “everyman” in his campaign to unseat Sen. Susan Collins.
The MRC study said the coverage blackout began after a poll released in October called Platner the Democrat with the best chance to defeat the incumbent, and didn’t let up until the New York Times’ May 30 report about him sexting women outside his marriage.
