Rebel Media
Rebel Media is a far-right Canadian online platform founded by ex-tabloid editor and anti-Muslim activist Ezra Levant in February 2015.
It has been described as 'a global platform for an extreme anti-Muslim ideology known as counter-jihad. It’s a far-right fringe theory founded on the belief that Muslims are deliberately invading the West, biding their time, then overtaking communities and imposing Shariah Law'. [1]
In spring 2017 Rebel Media began filing reports from the UK.
Hiring counterjihadists, columnists and ex-political leaders
In 2017 Rebel Media hired Stephen Lennon aka Tommy Robinson ex-head of anti-Muslim street movements English Defence League and Pegida UK as a 'reporter', alongside ex-Chelsea bartender Caolan Robertson.
in January 2018 Rebel signed up notorious anti-Muslim media pundit Katie Hopkins, just months after Mail Online failed to renew her two-year contract.
Other regular Rebel Media pundits across the globe include the former Australian Labour Party opposition leader Mark Latham.
After leaving Rebel Media in 2017 former reporter Lauren Southern became heavily involved in the pan-European far right Defend Europe movement.
