'Orwellian Newspeak': Inside the Christian Post's Refusal to Bow to Twitter's Demands Over Gender Tweet

For months, The Christian Post could not use Twitter after the social media platform accused the news outlet of violating its standards with a tweet about U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, a biological male who identifies as female.Journalist Brandon Showalter comes on the show today to discuss why the Post refused to back down, why the truth matters, and how the outlet is handling persistent assaults on reality. Showalter decried the "Orwellian newspeak" raging in culture. "We refused to retract that truth," he said of the outlet's decision to correctly call Levine a man.  “Our Twitter account has just been reinstated after a 9-month suspension because we correctly called Biden official Rachel Levine a man — and we refused to retract this truth,” The Christian Post announced Dec. 31. “As journalists, we understand our ethical obligation to provide accuracy over narrative and truth over opinion. Calling a man a man is a scientific truth, not opinion. Editorializing facts is called commentary, opinion, or, in some cases, dishonesty.”Listen to Showalter break down the ordeal and the Post's bold stance.
