At one time, as the largest producer of electric vehicles, Elon Musk wore a crown of royalty with the liberal left. However, after buying Twitter, and opening it up to all with the tenets of free speech, the progressive posse is calling him a charlatan.
Liberals once championed free speech, yet are now against it. Apparently, they believe that the intelligence of the American general public has diminished so badly, that they may be swayed away by the unfettered tongue. The average citizen should be appalled at progressive liberals for suggesting the public’s inability to digest and determine the merits of speech irrespective of the speaker.
The “wokistry” suggests that there be a permanent moratorium on misinformation and disinformation – the word “lies” has been purposely replaced. Of course, what they mean is that those they wish censored and canceled continue with that status because misinformation and disinformation is strictly conservative information.
Listening to talk on CNN and MSNBC we are told that Musk has turned the world of communication into an absolute crisis. They somberly disguise their admonition of emancipated speech as protection of and for the citizens – only self-the righteous liberal, who assumes he or she is next in line to an Einstein IQ would buy such a preposterous assertion.
This does illustrate, yet again, the collaboration, cooperation, and alliance between the legacy presses and the political left. Yet the founders of the Republic were so resolute in transparency that in the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights they gave the press unregulated freedoms in informing and educating the public – especially about the practices and actions of oppressive government - the more accommodating the media, the greater the government’s impropriety and depravity
It is the solemn duty of the press to inform, protect and enlighten the public. Now, however, the mainstream opposes, represses, and limits the public by protecting the government. In numbers, the media is difficult to fight and they demonize those who question, disparage those with skeptical assertions, demean external investigation, and question their tales of the status quo.
I am constantly appalled with inferential media as it relates to climate change. Most of them, without query or question simply regurgitate information from the advocate community. However, in everything, the legacy media is permeated with noble cause corruption where loyalty and allegiance to ideology is considered far greater than the devotion to their affirmed duty as the voice of the public.
In the linked article, the Whitehouse was fact-checked by Twitter on Social Security increases, corporate taxes, and costs of insulin. This would have never happened prior to Musk’s ownership. On a closing note, if the right gets legitimately fact-checked, where a lie, disinformation, and misinformation are proven, no one on the right will complain.
