The Spin

Narrative A

The company that built its brand on promoting free speech and debate has, through a secret arbitration hearing, shielded itself from having to engage in free speech and debate. They fired one of their most popular hosts over a disagreement on Israel, but they then publicly accepted the debate, and now they're legally muzzling Owens so she can't expose their fraudulent enterprise.

Narrative B

As Candace Owens has gained more notoriety, she's decided to use her platform to defend virulent antisemites like Kanye West, blame Israel for defending itself, and direct antisemitic dog whistles — such as 'Christ is King' — at Ben Shapiro when he calls her out online. Owens' career has been built on bullying racial and religious groups rather than thoughtful, intellectual commentary.
