Early in his career, Crowder worked for Fox News and posted satirical videos on conservative media platforms. He then began hosting Louder with Crowder, a daily political podcast and YouTube channel with commentary segments. It includes a recurring segment called "Change My Mind", in which Crowder invites passers-by to converse. In December 2012, Crowder and members of Americans for Prosperity were involved in an altercation at a demonstration in Michigan concerning the state's recently passed right-to-work law. Crowder's YouTube channel has been demonetized twice, first in 2019 after repeated use of racist and homophobic slurs. His channel was re-monetized after YouTube said Crowder addressed his behavior and content, and it was demonetized again in March 2021, with uploads suspended for a week, after violating YouTube's presidential election integrity policy against advancing false claims about the election's integrity.YouTube suspended the channel again for two weeks in October 2022 for violating its harassment, threats and cyberbullying policy. The channel had 5.8m+ subscribers as of May 2023. Crowder moved his show to Rumble in March 2023.
Steven Crowder Appears to Issue Veiled Threat in Response to Abuse Claims
Right-wing web talker Steven Crowder took to Twitter late Friday to apparently vow retaliation for the release of footage purportedly showing him verbally abusing his now ex-wife. Crowder did not comment on the video directly but said that in response to “recent misleadingly edited leaks to the tabloid press,” he has filed a motion to unseal all legal records in his divorce. His comments appeared to come in response to claims that he emotionally abused his wife, Hilary Crowder, with whom he has been in divorce proceedings since 2021. A day earlier, video was released that showed him slinging aggressive, threatening statements at his then-pregnant wife. In that video, released by Hilary’s family via writer Yashar Ali, Crowder can be seen forbidding her from using their car and demanding “discipline and respect,” while berating her for not doing “wifely things.” (Yahoo 4/28/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Fox News slapped with defamation suit for smearing innocent man as 'neo-Nazi murderer'
A Texas man has sued Fox News, Newsmax and other right-wing media outlets for falsely smearing him as a "neo-Nazi murderer" following a mass shooting last year at an outlet mall. The lawsuit alleges that Fox News, Newsmax, Univision, Timcast, Steven Crowder, Owen Shroyer, Simon Ateba and Hollywood Unlocked all falsely identified 36-year-old Mauricio Garcia as the gunman who killed nine people and wounded seven others May 6, 2023, at Allen Premium Outlets. The actual shooter was a 33-year-old man with the same name who was later killed by police in the same area on an unrelated call.

Fired News Anchors Who Wouldn't Just Go Away
Several news anchors on this list were fired as the result of sexual assault allegations. CNN's Chris Cuomo is among them, but the allegations against the anchor weren't the only reason he was fired. Instead, Cuomo was axed after it was revealed that he was involved in stories about allegations against his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. "When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly," CNN said in a statement. He'd declined to report on the allegations on his own show, but behind the scenes, he was apparently passing information about coverage back to the governor's office. "This is not how I want my time at CNN to end," the anchor said in a statement.

Newsmax Touts Dubious Trump Trial Facebook Post: ‘This Needs to Be a Mistrial Immediately’
Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj reported on Merchan’s letter as news of it broke, passing off the comment as fact. Meanwhile, guest and attorney Mehek Cooke bit hook, line, and sinker. “Apparently a juror alerted a relative, his cousin, about the verdict a day before the verdict was delivered,” Curanaj said. “And then that cousin of the juror posted on Facebook that Trump was going to be found guilty. It’s unclear as to how this could possibly impact the ongoing legal proceedings. Judge Juan Merchan notified Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche. What do you think about this? Is this a big deal?” (MediaIte 6/7/24) READ MORE>>>>>
