The Rebel Media (or The Rebel) is a Canadian online conservative political and social commentary media platform founded in February 2015 by former Sun News Network host Ezra Levant following the demise of the 24-hour news and opinion cable channel. The Rebel Media broadcasts its content on the Rebel Media YouTube channel and the therebel.media webpage. The project emulates American conservative commentator Glenn Beck's subscription based online service ''TheBlaze''. Former Sun News Network parliamentary correspondent Brian Lilley and former SNN reporter Marissa Semkiw have joined the outlet. Former SNN host Michael Coren was briefly with the project but left after a week.〔https://twitter.com/michaelcoren/status/572119209649553410〕 Gavin McInnes is also a contributor. Levant argued that his online production would be unencumbered by the regulatory and distribution difficulties faced by Sun News Network and that its lower production costs would make it more viable.〔Gerson, Jen.'Former Sun News host Ezra Levant launching his own conservative website following network's demise'.

In August 2015 therebel.media joined the top one thousand of Canadian websites. As of November 4, 2015, it is ranked as the 455th most popular website in the country. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Rebel Media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
