Stop talking about the 2020 election fraud evidence or get fired!
That’s the message Cumulus Media, which employs a number of high-profile conservative talk show hosts, released as it apparently joined the effort begun over the weekend by social media to prevent any discussion of the 2020 election failings.
Hundreds of affidavits from election fraud witnesses were filed over the results that gave Joe Biden victories, mostly after vote counting was closed down and then dark-of-the-night vote dumps gave him the lead.
TRENDING: My vote, your vote, our vote was stolen!
Undisputed and key to the claims are that multiple states’ officials ignored their own state laws regarding election ballot requirements in order to count those massive dumps.
The censorship move got into high gear over the weekend, when social media companies killed off a number of accounts held by conservatives, and then conspired to try to kill a conservative alternative to Twitter, called Parler.
Now reports are revealing that Cumulus Media, which is one of the nation’s larger talk-radio companies, has ordered its on-air personalities to stop suggesting the election was stolen from President Trump or be fired.
The Washington Post said the executive issued the censorship directive “just as Congress met to certify Joe Biden’s election victory and an angry mob of Trump supporters marched on the Capitol, overwhelmed police and briefly occupied the building.”

The executive was identified as Brian Phillips, who said in an internal memo that, “We need to help induce national calm NOW,” according to the report
The memo first was reported by Inside Music Media and subsequently by the Post and others.
Phillips ordered that his company “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.'”
The threat followed: “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”
The Post charged that it was a “stunning corporate clampdown” on the type of provocative talk “that has long driven the business model for Cumulus.”
The report noted that Cumulus to date had been silent on the comments from his popular hosts, which include Mark Levin, Dan Bongino and Ben Shapiro.
Levin, for example, recently said, “You think the framers of the Constitution … sat there and said, ‘Congress has no choice [to accept the votes], even if there’s fraud, even if there’s some court order, even if some legislature has violated the Constitution?'”
The Daily Mail said Cumulus is second among radio station operators around the nation in size, with 416 locations, second to iHeartMedia.
The Mail said Jeremy Boreing, with Shapiro’s show, said, “Cumulus is not Ben’s employer and hasn’t told Ben jack sh*t about what he can or cannot say on air. Also, Ben never said the election was stolen. That’s at least three falsehoods in 280 characters or less, but pretty good journalisming otherwise.”
Levin said neither he or his staff had gotten the memo.
Talk radio star Rush Limbaugh is heard on some Cumulus-owned stations but wasn’t subject to the warning because he’s syndicated by Premier Networks.
