Doug Schweitzer is calling on other candidates to condemn Rebel Media for its coverage of the deadly clash between anti-racism activists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Va., as the Rebel's founder disavows the "racism" of the alt-right.
"What The Rebel suffers from is a lack of editorial and behavioural judgment that left unchecked will destroy it and those around it. For that reason, I am leaving." - Brian Lilley, co-founder of The Rebel
So despite making a career out of attacking the main stream media for not echoing his right wing extremist batshit, he can't help but gush about how some MSM outlets noticed him and wanted to use some camera footage? I bet Ezras having flashbacks to that one time in school when a popular kid held the door open for him, and for a moment Ezra thought he had a friend.
Oh for crying out loud, you 2. Read what the context of what he said was or stop pretending you're the experts on what's behind a link neither one of you clicked. Your ignorance makes me blush. I'm embarrassed for you.
Good for Lilley for pulling the pin and walking away. Hopefully the Canadian Jewish community and the conservative political machine start putting a lot more pressure on Levant to knock it off with the flirtations he's having with these scumbags in the US.

They might have used some footage, because no one else had it. But I bet not one of them used any Rebel reporting on that story. That's the true test, if other accredited media will use you as a source because they believe you are reliable and have integrity.

The uneasy relationship between Canadian conservatives and controversial news outlet The Rebel garnered renewed attention Tuesday after one of the site's co-founders and two of its contributors quit over its coverage of the Charlottesville protests.
Co-founder Brian Lilley said he was no longer comfortable working with an organization increasingly linked with the alt-right, the name most commonly used to represent the white nationalist movement in the U.S. involved in the incidents in Virginia over the weekend.
Among its leaders is Richard Spencer, whose manifesto written specifically for the Charlottesville event includes a call for states to be organized on racial and ethnic lines and speaks to the superiority of "White America."
The Rebel's coverage suggested Spencer and his followers ought to be afforded the same rights as left-wing protesters who massed in opposition, Lilley said, and that was a tipping point for him.
"They are not equivalent," he said in an interview.
"Black Lives Matter and (anti-fascists) need to be called out for their problems, but a Nazi, is a Nazi, is a Nazi. And I think we all agree that Nazis are bad."
Tension between The Rebel and conservatives erupts anew
So, virtue signaling at the right moment in the hopes to get work somewhere else.
Trevor won't be found unless he wants to be found.
Anybody interested in seeing some of the actual rebel footage though? How horrible is it, really?

So the Rebel gave you live coverage of what happened on the ground. The CBC offers you second hand opinion from people who didn't like it?
Which will make you better informed about what actually happened in Charlottesville?

Something from the last line is quotable:
"everyone from NBC to CBS to Reuters has asked us for permission to use our footage this weekend."
