Dissident Candace Owens Still Stuck in the MSM

Last Updated on May 9, 2024

After conservative commentator Candace Owens’ dismissal from the Daily Wire, her dissident side slowly diminished, aside from some “degeneracy” remarks. It is almost as if she is tepid to be independent, leaning towards the mainstream.

Anyone and everybody in the news media knows well that questioning Israel or Jews is a “no-no” and will render you canceled. Owens, among other black conservatives, including the Hodge Twins, thought she could win the gamble.

Now that the Daily Wire has placed a gag order on Owens, it is very unlikely we will see the earth-shattering debate between her and establishment con Ben Shapiro. So then, where is she headed? Will she be independent? Or will she bow and return to the mainstream media?

The go-to-news-aggregator, AF Post, posted that Owens had unfollowed TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk and deleted all images of the two on her social media accounts. She refuted the claim by saying, “We have a lot of discussions offline, and we’ve both grown a lot since the early days of TPUSA. There’s just no beef between us.”

Kirk is known for his staunch pro-Israel stance and had not supported Owens when she was heavily ridiculed for alleged antisemitism. She has also reposted from several previous colleges, like Matt Walsh, who did not come to her defense. It appears she doesn’t want to burn bridges and wants to remain in the mainstream while somehow retaining her Dissident Right voice. That seems wholly unlikely unless she starts up a new brand.

On Wednesday, Owens posted a Wall Street Journal editorial advocating for Christian Nationalists. What is ironic here is that this is a News Corp outlet. News Corp is Zionist to the core and has had no problem in the past blasting the Dissident Right and Christian Nationalism. For Owens, it seems very difficult to realize her stance is diametrically opposed to the people she praises and the outlets she promotes.

It is too early to predict where she is going with her career, but it is easy to see that she, in a sense, manipulates the Dissident Right for her own defense. Groypers and the Dissident Right act as a collective and never fold. With that, this audience works toward her advantage.

If Owens was truly devoted to the America First cause, she would help her supporters in media — the columnists and reporters that backed her and became blacklisted, rather than elevating content from those who referred to her as an antisemite.

Another perspective is that she is simply trying to retain those contacts to build her brand in the future. Dissident Right or America First outlets are continually dwindling, but this could be a big chance to even the score.

Candace Owens Takes Aim at the Jewish Lobby

There’s a lot of hope for Candace Owens, but understanding the dynamics of news media puts her at odds with America First. The question is whether she will compromise in the mainstream and be forced to dismiss America First conservativism. Or will she open an outlet that will be truly free speech and allow the canceled to have a chance at their journalistic profession? It may take months to find out, and certainly don’t expect an appearance at AFPACIV — she’s booked for the adjacent event, Turning Point Action.
