Facebook admits that it could have been an “error,” but we all know that Big Tech “mistakes” nearly always include subjects with a conservative slant.
In an exclusive email to Newsweek, the actor said that Facebook was once again restricting free speech and choosing what content was appropriate for us to see and hear. This time, however, it was also limiting the actor’s ability to promote and advertise his film on Ronald Reagan.
“Quaid’s comments align with a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, the chairman and CEO of Meta Platforms, Facebook’s parent company, detailing the “many issues” marketers claim to have encountered while attempting to promote or “boost” Reagan-related material. According to a letter from the movie’s director of digital marketing, Eric McClellan, the most “egregious” example is a post that has Quaid’s picture and the movie title, coupled with a statement from the forty-first president.”
The quotation asserts, “Don’t allow anyone to persuade you that the American spirit has lost its strength or that America’s greatest days are over.” “It’s too often triumphant in our lives for us to not believe it now.” According to the letter to Zuckerberg, Facebook approved the post but refused to enable the marketers to “boost” it with a sponsored commercial.
We seem to be back in the USSR. Quaid composed. “Are we becoming a nation of tech billionaires who control the platform of groupthink to suppress the individual or ‘other’ groups, like the former Soviet Union?”
On Tuesday, he co-starred with Trace Gallagher on “Fox News at Night.”
While the entire exchange is fascinating and well worth watching, Quaid made the following amusing comment at one point:
“Reagan hasn’t been on a ballot in forty years, according to the last I heard. Additionally, because he served two terms, he is not even qualified to run. Given that they haven’t even seen the movie and it’s prohibited, I must admit that I find this situation perplexing. I suppose this means they don’t want other people to see the movie either. However, as you know, we can arrange for them to view it for themselves at any time through a screening.”
As RedState’s representative, I had the honor of attending the Reagan Library to mark the 20th anniversary of his passing.
We must consistently expose Big Tech’s subtle attempts to sway voters’ opinions at every opportunity. Dennis Quaid deserves praise for his courage in taking a position, but he has had enough success in his career to withstand the expected criticism from Hollywood liberals over this.
Meanwhile, I’m uncertain if historical dramas will effectively capture the essence of their subject—in this case, Ronald Reagan. According to the trailer, this movie appears to be a hit, and Quaid seems to capture Reagan better than anyone else. In a massive jab at Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, I plan to purchase tickets along with many others.
