As Twitchy has reported, Vox’s Carlos Maza has been on a crusade to have Steven Crowder “punished” by YouTube, either by having his videos banned or his channel demonetized.

On Tuesday, YouTube announced it had reviewed Crowder’s flagged videos and determined he hadn’t violated any terms of service; on Wednesday, YouTube announced that it was going to demonetize Crowder’s videos because he had violated YouTube’s Partner Program policies through “a pattern of egregious actions” that had “harmed the broader community.”

One of those sympathizing with the self-described thick-skinned Maza was Media Matters editor-at-large Parker Molloy, who probably knows Maza from his MMFA days. The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra dug up an old tweet that shows Maza’s long been all about shutting down opposing viewpoints.

I mean it’s a free country so whatever … but it seems a stretch to call @Gaywonk a journalist. He never *really* left Media Matters https://t.co/ZoCtp64kbL — Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) June 5, 2019

This is 100% correct The guy is from Media Matters, his goal is to ruin conservative people's careers and restrict free speech https://t.co/n0S6q8UoVl — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) June 5, 2019

Nah, he’s just concerned that YouTube is a welcoming environment for LGBT content creators like himself. That’s his current line, anyway.

Wait….this dude worked for MEDIA MATTERS?? That's a MASSIVE conflict of interest — Average American Podcast ▶️ (@AverageAmer1can) June 5, 2019

Wait … do you think Vox considers it a conflict of interest hiring a dude from Media Matters? That’s like interning for them.

Not just his, but also the goal of Media Matters. Their mission isn't to "comprehensively monitor, analyze, and correct conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." It's to take down Fox News. — Rogue Badg3rman (@Badg3rmanTTV) June 5, 2019

YouTube out there hoping it gets eaten last. — Smokin Monkey (@ARaised_Eyebrow) June 5, 2019

Hahaha… take down Fox News… he’d have a better shot turning Donald Trump gay. — Drew Cochran (@DrewCochran76) June 5, 2019

Fox News still dominates the prime time cable ratings, which means it has nowhere to go but down. The pins are all set up for you, Media Matters.
