Independent journalist Tim Pool was leaked an email showing Slate journo April Glaser appearing to threaten Chase Bank with negative press if they don't deplatform the right-wing activist group The Proud Boys.

From Tim Pool:

Following the Vox controversy with Steven Crowder, or #VoxAdpocalypse, and mass censorship hitting youtube I found it pertinent to show how these activists in media operate and how they use framing devices to target people like conservatives and other political groups.

The reporter in question has advocated for government regulation to restrict speech and I believe this shows her to be an activist acting to target and cause harm to political rivals.

The email was confirmed to me by Chase bank on two occasions and the contents of the email were referred to in my correspondence with Slate. While not directly confirming the email I believe this with Chase bank's confirmation is sufficient to confirm the authenticity of the email.

UPDATE: Slate has provided an official comment

"In the course of her reporting about banks providing financial services for 1776.shop, an e-commerce site associated with the Proud Boys, April reached out to those banks for comment about their policies of providing services to a designated hate group. In both her email and in the subsequent reporting, April provided important context and we stand by her reporting on this newsworthy topic."

Pool's analysis was on the money. The key line is Glaser saying: "The Proud Boys are designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group and members have engaged in group violence in Portland and New York City."

All these journ-ists use the same tactic. They're telling you they're going to accuse you of supporting a "SPLC designated hate group" if you don't give in.

After Pool started digging into this story, Glaser locked down her Twitter account and allegedly started deleting tweets showing her bias:

Note, this is the same April Glaser who said last year that she wrote to Google to complain that the top search results on YouTube for abortion were anti-abortion videos she deemed "dangerous misinformation" and "YouTube changed the results after I asked."

Why is YouTube (Google) manipulating its own search algorithm in response to left-wing partisan lobbying? https://t.co/RD837vSbbe
