9/18/25 - Social Media's Role in Kimmel's Suspension

Mark Levin Podcast

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. These late-night hosts are untalented bigots whose opinions don't affect most people. But their content matters due to their reach, especially online, where misinformation spreads. Kimmel's false claim that the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin was a MAGA supporter is a demonstrable lie that influenced audiences online.  Social media algorithms create echo chambers reinforcing biases, with 54% of Americans getting news from such platforms, leading to distorted realities. The left is whining about free speech. It was the Democrat party that targeted and silenced conservatives online by threatening big tech and social media companies to suppress stories like Hunter Biden's laptop. Later, there’s a disturbing trend of assassination culture and societal trends on the left -  the UnitedHealth CEO assassin's terrorism charge being dropped amid public support; a Discord chat where Kirk's assassin confessed to friends without reports; a Christian singer losing 30,000 followers for similar comments; and polls showing up to 55% of left-leaning Americans justifying assassinating Trump or Elon Musk under certain circumstances. The left has abandoned core values.
