Why did Conservatives wait so long to renounce The Rebel? - Aug. 25

The Rebel has been one of the few remaining popular voices of conservative thought in today's Canadian media, and has long been a thorn in the flesh of most mainstream media and leftist politicians.

So it comes as no surprise that Ezra Levant and The Rebel have been dumped on from all sides after the Charlottesville incident. According to The Rebel reporter who covered the event, she was there against Ezra's wishes, and when it came to light that she had also gone on a podcast produced by the Daily Stormer, she was fired. Levant has renounced the alt-right and vowed to take steps so this sort of thing never happens again, but unfortunately it appears only leftist media can be forgiven for making mistakes.

I have watched Levant's shows for some time, and find him to be mostly fair and truthful. I have never heard him make a racist remark. Unlike mainstream media, he is often critical of Islamic extremism, but also has on his shows moderate Muslims who share his views.

Levant and The Rebel don't always get it right, but I will continue to support them in order to get perspectives that are not found in today's politically correct mainstream media.
