But wasn’t Elon’s entire schtick about Free Speech? How is his banning [bogeyman du jour] different than what he alleges that was happening previously? All the sycophants now are ok with banning users…..because…….propaganda?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You know the sad thing is thats a hard question to answer. There is so much propaganda out there.

It used to be the news would tell you what happened, and left it up to you to decide what to think
Nowadays the news tries to tell you what to think, and you have to figure out what happened

you forgot: owning the libs

it’s all so silly, and reflected in right-wing legislators. there is virtually zero policy offered other than “dems/liberals bad”
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

I don’t know if the randys of the world realize this…….they could take Animal Farm and overlay this Elon/Twitter saga and one would realize how prescient Orwell was. It’s crazy how Boxer represents the loyal MAGA rubes!

The opinions are admittedly one sided.
Yet the actual articles, which the paper is more composed of, are 70% factual, which is amongst the top scores amongst large publications.

Oh yes, Animal Farm is very relevant these days. You can see the sheep all around us with those still taking their 4th booster shot. The pigs making a fortunate off those sheep.

Musk is creating diverse fact checking team
All races genders political affiliations

And for some reason his life is at risk. Hes literally receiving threats, being stalked, his family has been in danger. Why??? Everyone should see this as a good thing

"All races genders political affiliations"

Except those "so called journalists" from places like The New York Times.

These people supported the 2020 riots of George Floyd. That is why they don't care. Wrong team in their eyes.
