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.

Glad to hear CNN is tanking but we all know that the liberal democrats and liberal media will never let anything positive be reported about President Trump. They will continue to berate our President until he is out of office and will do this to any Republican President from now on so we better get used to it. It’s a shame that the Republican’s have more class and don’t play their game of destruction and refuse to stoop to their level.

I think it is too late for CNN to change their reporting habits and bias against Trump. I will never watch CNN again, even if they change.

Mr. Piers Morgan, Sir, I will SCREAM, A BIG TIME “AMEN” TO WHAT YOU HAVE SAID, SIR, I WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF THE MSM (FACEBOOK AND OTHER FORMS OF COMMUNICATION, TO START TREATING THE LEGALLY ELECTED US PRESIDENT MR. DONALD JOHN TRUMP AND HIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION AND EVEN THE VOTERS THAT VOTED HIM INTO THE WHITE HOUSE VERY FAIRLY, LIKE HOW THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS TREATED #44 = MR. BARRY OR IS IT BARAK HUSSEIN SOETORO ALIAS SOEBARKAH ALIAS DUNHAM ALIAS OBAMA, BECAUSE THE WHOLE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS DID NNNOOOTTT THROW TEMPER TANTRUMS, DID NNNOOOTTT HAVE OR START ANY TYPE OF DANGEROUS, DEADLY VIOLENT AND OR DESTRUCTIVE ATTITUDES OR ACTIONS, WHEN HE BECAME THE US PRESIDENT! I DO BELIEVE THAT “WE THE LEGAL CITIZENS/PEOPLE AND THE LEGAL IMMIGRANTS OF THE USA” NEEDED TO BE TREATED A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THOSE DANGEROUS, DEADLY VIOLENT AND DESTRUCTIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT-ALIENS, WHO CONTINUOUSLY ILLEGALLY USE THE USA’S SOUTHERN BORDER LIKE IT IS A UNSECURED OLD FASHIONED DEPARTMENT STORES REVOLVING FRONT AND BACK DOORS!!!

FOX should buy CNN and turn it into a conservative news station. I’m sure a lot of liberals would cry over that.

CNN tanking, suites me fine. They are already known as the most dishonest in news reporting on about everything. I just saw on TV a CNN reporter asking Joe Biden this question. Mr. Biden, President Trump has a slogan “Make America great again” what is your slogan and Joe fired back “Make America moral again”. The reporter was a lady, is colored, and a lesbian. Can you imagen how she must have felt. It took my breath away how unsensitive this Joe Biden character is.
