Owens Exposes Shapiro's Hypocrisy, Claims Victory

Candace Owens' departure from The Daily Wire has manifestly become a watershed moment in history in the ongoing debate about free speech, ideological diversity, and the mechanics of "cancel culture" within conservative media.

Owens’s sacking from the Daily Wire is far from a contractual parting, rather it exposes the turmoil of censorship and selective championing of free speech, particularly by figures like Ben Shapiro.

Shapiro is a bully and hypocrite - offensively unsavory - evident when you see how he selectively picks his targets in all debates - usually weaker intellectually which is typical behaviour of any bully who prey on the weak and defenceless.

However, Owens is different. She’s not only intellectually superior but refused to be intimated or silenced - someone Shapiro or that other interesting piece of work Jeremy Boering couldn’t contain.

A woman of principle - something Shapiro and his sidekick Boering and fellow clown Andrew Lavin, know nothing of or fail to conceptualise its meaning.

Her incisive commentary and refusal to bow to overwhelming demands of the narratives on issues such as Israel, embodies the authenticity of what free speech is and what it really means.

Owens parting with The Daily Wire came after piercing revelations about the constraints and expectations placed on her as a commentator.

Owens’ openness about the restrictions The Daily Wire tried to effect, reveals a troubling inclination toward ideological conformity, which is at odds with the values of free inquiry and speech espoused by conservative thought leaders, like Shapiro would say he stood for and built and based The Daily Wire on.

Surprise, surprise, surprise as the alter ego of Jim Neighbors, Gomer Pyle would say, Owens stance on Israel and their criminal behaviour and quest for Genocide exposed that for being a lie.

But should it have been a surprise given Shapiro and Boering are neocon ultra conservative Zionists?

The irony at the core of the affair is palpable. Shapiro, who has been outspoken about the left's desire for "cancel culture," has behaved identically to those he has condemned, when confronted with dissenting views within his own camp.

Shapiro obviously speaks with a forked tongue.

The selective application of free speech principles, where criticism and divergent viewpoints are only welcome when they align with a specific narrative, exposes a hypocrisy that undermines the tenets of conservative media.

Owens' boldness in calling out this inconsistency, particularly around geopolitical issues like Israel’s reign of terror on the Palestinians and the genocide enacted, not only highlights her commitment to principle over platform, but raises critical questions about diversity of thought within conservative circles.

Her assertion that adherence to a pro-Israel stance is a condition of acceptance in certain conservative circles is a damning indictment of the performative nature of free speech advocacy by some of its loudest supporters.

The circumstances surrounding Owens' exit — from her assessment of the enforced silence on contentious issues to her planned reporting trip to Israel and Gaza — illustrate a courageous pursuit of truth.

Her efforts to provide nuanced, firsthand accounts of complex geopolitical realities stand in vast contrast to the echo chamber mentality that permeate throughout the conservative media.

More importantly though, Ownes’ frank discussion of the welfare state and its impact on black communities in America showcases her willingness to tackle difficult topics with depth and personal insight.

The differences between Owens and The Daily Wire, spearheaded by Shapiro, is typical of a larger more telling crisis that now exists within conservative media — its a crisis of consistency and commitment to free speech and intellectual diversity.

Owens' departure opens a new door to bigger and better things - Tucker Carlson’s sacking from Fox proved that - Fox is now suffering and Carlson has gone from strength-to-strength outperforming Fix and every other major cable news network.

Like Carlson, what happens from here for Owens isn’t just a new chapter but a litmus test for her ability to embrace true ideological diversity without resorting to the tactics of cancellation that often beckons - duplicity is a fervent ideology they value without a care for integrity.

Candace Owens' determination to continue using her voice, unencumbered by the demands of conformity, enshrines her as a formidable figure in the ongoing debate on free speech and thought diversity.
