Thoughts & Prayers to Parler, think of all the hard inherited money Rebekah Mercer must be losing. Or as they say en Parler - Pensée et Prieuré !
[CNN]Parler's CEO has been terminated by its board CNN Business)Parler CEO John Matze has been terminated by the board of the embattled social media company, according to Parler investor and right-wing commentator Dan Bongino. Bongino's announcement followed a report by Fox Business Wednesday afternoon highlighting a leaked memo written by Matze, in which the CEO reportedly claimed he had been fired by the owners of the social platform favored by some members of the far right. In a Facebook video Wednesday night, Bongino confirmed that Matze had been terminated. Bongino claimed not to have a "personal gripe" with Matze, but he disputed Matze's narrative surrounding his departure. "The relationship with Parler and the CEO did not work out because the CEO's vision was not ours," Bongino said. On that much at least, Matze and Bongino appear to agree. On Wednesday evening, the Wall Street Journal reported a statement from Matze in which he reportedly claimed to have "met constant resistance to my product vision, my strong belief in free speech and my view of how the Parler site should be managed. For example, I advocated for more product stability and what I believe is a more effective approach to content moderation." Parler did not respond to CNN Business' request for comment. In his response, Bongino repeatedly said Matze was being untruthful. "It is me and my co-owners who are resolutely committed to a free speech site," he said. "[Matze] is no white knight in this story." The exchange suggests a rift had opened between Matze and Parler's owners following Amazon's decision to stop hosting the company's service over dozens of examples of violent content and incitement in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol. Bongino claimed that after being ousted from Amazon Web Services, Parler could have been back up and running within a week if the company had simply agreed to "all the ridiculous Apple edicts to become a heavy moderation site to the left of Twitter." "We don't want garbage on our site either," Bongino continued, "but we are a free speech site and will remain as such." "We were handling it like gentlemen, and John decided somehow to make this public," Bongino said in the video.
Weird how theyll go full off tangent calling biden as a chinese agent. This is while turning blind to the reams of russian money the right uses to buttress their claims and like minded ideals (white supremacy, hegemonic ambition, pro fossil fuel agenda, suppression of minorities, or scapegoating with anti-Semitism)
Parler wanted Donald Trump, who demanded an ownership stake, which didn't happen A scoop from Buzzfeed News: "Parler wanted Donald Trump on its site. Trump's company wanted an ownership stake. Here's the exclusive story of their negotiation." Parler is the chat app founded in 2018 by former college roommates John Matze and Jared Thomson, and Rebekah Mercer, the right-wing political donor and daughter of hedge fund magnate Robert Mercer. Excerpt: The Trump Organization negotiated on behalf of then-president Donald Trump to make Parler his primary social network, but it had a condition: an ownership stake in return for joining, according to documents and four people familiar with the conversations. The deal was never finalized, but legal experts said the discussions alone, which occurred while Trump was still in office, raise legal concerns with regards to anti-bribery laws. Talks between members of Trump's campaign and Parler about Trump's potential involvement began last summer, and were revisited in November by the Trump Organization after Trump lost the 2020 election to the Democratic nominee and current president, Joe Biden. Documents seen by BuzzFeed News show that Parler offered the Trump Organization a 40% stake in the company. It is unclear as to what extent the former president was involved with the discussions.
