The corporate-controlled media is apoplectic over the possibility that Elon Musk could buy Twitter.
Musk’s offer to buy the social media giant has exposed the Left’s real motives.
In fact, this Washington Post warmonger-in-chief even said Elon Musk buying Twitter is a threat to “democracy.”
The hypocrisy of the radical left seemingly knows no bounds.
It’s quite alright for billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, and George Soros to buy up newspapers, TV networks, social media platforms and even district attorneys.
But heaven forbid when someone not in their socialist sphere decides to join the fray.
Just look at the media’s attacks on Elon Musk over his attempt to purchase Twitter in order to restore it to its free speech origins.
You actually now have members of the 4th estate screaming that we must accept the end of free speech to ‘protect democracy.’
That’s right, members of the so-called “free press” are coming out in defense of censorship all because it’s not one of their own buying Twitter.
We’ve really reached that low point in American history.
And nowhere has this been more evident than at Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post.
The Post’s resident warmonger and pretend conservative Max Boot went absolutely nuts over Elon Musk’s potential Twitter buyout.
After tweeting out that he was “frightened” at the prospect of Musk buying Twitter, Boot then doubled down in a Washington Post column attacking Musk’s offer to buy the social media behemoth for more than $43 billion.
And of course, the sycophant Boot took pen to paper to defend himself for believing that the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire shouldn’t have a hand on Twitter because he “engages in online bullying and traffics hyperbole.”
“Anyone who thinks the problem with social media is too much content moderation, rather than too little, should not own one of the most powerful platforms online,” he wrote.
Boot said Musk, who seeks to end censorship on Twitter, will not bring “badly needed reform” that the phony conservative columnist believes needs to occur on the platform.
Boot furthermore said that ultimately Musk’s takeover bid will pose a threat to “our embattled democracy.”
That’s right, Max Boot, the man who many say never met a minority he didn’t want to bomb, a country he didn’t want to attack, a conservative he didn’t want to muzzle, is suddenly “worried about democracy.”
Boot began his ridiculous column with his explanation of his earlier anti-Musk tweet, which was rightfully met with scorn and derision from what he described as “an online flash mob” of Twitter users.
Boot’s original tweet read, “I am frightened by the impact on society and politics if Elon Musk acquires Twitter. He seems to believe that on social media anything goes. For democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less.”
Adolf Hitler and Joesph Stalin would be proud of Max. They too believed in more content moderation.
Boot cited the criticism he received for his tweet from figures like Mollie Hemingway and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, (R-GA), he wrote, “too much name-calling, too much dishonesty, too many conspiracy theories. And there is a disturbing tendency for online flash mobs to create an echo chamber of crackpot opinions.”
Boot of course was an enthusiastic proponent of the anti-Trump Russiagate conspiracy theories, even appearing on CNN to promote his column outlining 18 reasons why former President Trump could be a “Russian agent.”
Max Boot is a perfect example of the hypocrisy and idiocy of the radical left.

Not sure about watching Fox any more. Although Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham are still doing their level best to hang on to sanity.

The management and board at FNC had better wise up, and soon! If they don’t know by now, the viewers, me included, have a big problem with Ryan on the board, Wallace, Sheppard, Napolitano, Brazile and a few others not quite as bad. The good hosts had better start letting mgt know their feelings or start looking for a more reliable job. Fair and balanced used to the motto. That doesn’t fit now, so pick another. I hate to stop watching programs I’ve watched for years, but I’ve about had it.

Lou Dobbs on Fox Business is good, Trish Regan has a good show, Kennedy is mainly middle of the road entertainment, also Judge Jeanine and Steve Hilton on the weekends have very good conservative guests and commentary, otherwise, I watch One America News (OAN)

He stupid read the treaty that Clinton signed the Pres is required to look into corruption besides Biden is the corrupt bastard and he bragged about it.
US and Ukraine Treaty doc 106-6, signed by then President Bill Clinton with then Senator Joe Biden voting to ratify contains the following:
“The Treaty is self-executing. It provides for a broad range of cooperation in criminal matters. Mutual assistance available under the Treaty includes: taking of testimony or statements of persons; providing documents, records, and articles of evidence; serving documents; locating or identifying persons; transferring persons in custody for testimony or other purposes; executing requests for searches and seizures; assisting in proceedings related to restraint, confiscation, forfeiture of assets, restitution, and collection of fines; and any other form of assistance not prohibited by the laws of the requested state. I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to ratification.”

Pencil neck is either too stupid or too corrupt to admit that he participated in ratifying that treaty. I personally believe the latter is in fact true.

Who paid off Napolitano? Juan is a nut job but the judge used to be ok. There is no shred of evidence to impeach or they would have brought it forward and not had to fake his phone call. The Unites States investigates Crimes all the time with other countries. What, we aren’t supposed to investigate the crooked Biden’s because he’s running for President? Didn’t stop them from investigating and spying on Trump now, did it? Didn’t stop John Kerry when he ran, did it? Doesn’t stop any Democrat from taking foreign money, does it. The President’s job is being the number 1 law enforcement officer. The left and Fox is trying to take the narrative away from crooked Biden and his crimes and the crimes of the Obama Administration and Hillary and the DNC and pushing it toward Trump. How did we get so backwards in our morals and truth-seeking? The left has pushed their lack of morals and hypocrisy on society to make it normal, that’s how.

Good riddance to Shepard Smith, never have liked him. I can’t stand to watch The Five whenever Juan “the a-hole” Williams is on . Find a permanent replacement for him.

I also like OAN. What bothers me about ALL the female anchors is their eyebrows. That is all I see when I look at the screen. OVERDONE maybe. I don’t like the way they speak either. As though
I do like Liz Wheeler. Also a very bright person. And even if I’m wrong, I’m right.
