‘Those poor snowflakes’: Fox FM pulls Milo Yiannopoulos ads
Southern Cross Austereo’s Fox FM team have been dubbed “snowflakes” after pulling advertisements promoting controversial right-wing agitator Milo Yiannopoulos from air.
Penthouse Magazine’s radio ad promoting Milo Yiannopoulos’ second Melbourne event was pulled off air this morning, with Penthouse claiming the banned ads are worth $10,000.
“This is the same station that has Hamish & Andy , Fifi Box and Brendan Fevola on air every day”… So what? None of the above are renowned Nazi sympathisers, as far as I know.
Being banned worth twice the publicity of the ad itself. When will people ever learn that banning things to make a statement simply makes your target stronger. Every time the BBC bans a song it goes to number one!
Don’t take the bait. This is straight out of the Breitbart & RWNJ playbook. Don’t give him any attention, he’ll fade into nothingness eventually.
SAD Milo. The recent Buzzfeed story from emails leaked from Breitbart showed him for what he is, a shill and a conman.
Because buzzfeed is such a reliable news source. What a MSM cuck
The egg is well and truly on the foxes face….
This is pretty lame even for Fox FM. Person expresses some mildly provocative views and they’re banned? Milo is about as much a Nazi as Bob Brown is Stalin – ie, not at all. Just because people throw around ludicrous comparisons doesn’t make it so.
Exactly right, Lama.
Disgraceful decision – blithe generalisations that have hardly an ounce of truth don’t count for an argument.
It’s (another) blight on free speech.
‘Cynic’ is no cynic.
‘Cynic’ is a garden-variety conformist, and an ignorant one at that.
Lama – completely agree.
It’s the left once again refusing to hear views different to theirs.
They need to learn that shutting down a debate is different to winning a debate.
@Lama and Anonymous: neo-Nazis literally Hitler saluted him at a white supremacist karaoke night. His Breitbart passwords referenced Kristallnacht and Night of the Long Knives. He’s the walking definition of a Nazi sympathiser.
Which means we should let him promote / hear him speak and then ridicule his facts with facts — easy really that’s how it works… Unless of course his facts are correct!
He is hated by Neo Nazis, is himself Jewish, and recently ‘married’ a black man. Some white supremacist he is.
So many intelligent people showing so little discernment. Listen to the guy talk – not just read reports on what he says or supposedly says – and you’ll realise that yes, he’s provocative, but the slurs against him is because he’s an effective communicator when it comes to dismantling many leftist fallacies.
Wise up, people. This isn’t just about his freedom of speech, it’s about YOUR freedom of thought. Don’t be told what to think by those with an agenda!
Three drunken idiots at a pub doing mock Nazi salutes while someone sings America The Beautiful is hardly conclusive proof. Remind me again how many Gay Jewish Nazis there are? I’m guessing zero, which would also count Milo out.
He’s a troll and your reactions are precisely what Nazi references like these are intended to do.
It’s incredible people like you treat this stuff so seriously, it’s intended to stir you up. Don’t reply “but Nazism is no joke”, you’re missing the point.
Milo is an excellent troll and people like you are evidence of that.
I’m not a fan, but you do realize he is both Jewish and gay, right? Milo is lots of things but this Nazi sympathizer allegation is completely ridiculous.
@lama and anonymous (the person who used this as their screen name).
You sound like another leftist who knows nothing about history or Milo for that matter.
I would highly suggest that you limit your labeling everything and everyone Nazi’s, you will end up like the boy who cried wolf.
I find it interesting the media give anyone with rightwing views a title, in this case; “Rightwing Agitator”, but rarely give anyone with an opposing left view and title at all. Do you think there might be a little bit of bias here? I have watched this guy and I don’t get the impression he’s an agitator.
Why bring another village idiot to Australia? We have one already his name is Tony Abbott.
because we like seeing snowflakes like you melting
Such brave words coming from anonymous commenters..
Where have all of these trolls appeared from?
Surely they aren’t regular readers/commentators on Mumbrella
