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.

It’s all in how you view things. Perspective. Perhaps, with all the violence, plundering, murder, arson, he covers, this is mild. Also, since MSNBC posted for people to help “protest”, he believes this is mild.
Thought, the police have guns. People need guns. I would sure be using them to protect my family and business.

Fake news is getting caught more and more on the lies they tell. Maybe you all need to look into what Michael Moore wrote. If it was up to him we would have nothing left. He encouraged them to steal, burn everything up, hurt the law, and more. Democrats and the fake media are encouraging violence. So called Hollywood elite are bailing out bad rioters not burned businesses. Maybe You need to look into who is bringing in people by the bus loads to start tearing up these cities. And who is paying them to do it. The real protesters are being blamed for it. The real protesters need to start catching them and hand over to authorities. The law and true protesters need to work together to get the bad apples out of law and rioters. Find out who is paying these rotten rioters.

From being an investigator for more than 30 years can say certain people are more violent and uppity than the rest of us, which leads to these events. Not all of them, but most of them. The police and good citizens should either let them go or shoot them. In that way their numbers could be reduced from 13-14% of the population to 1-2%, and crime rate would go drastically down.

New York has the dumbest laws…police arrest and new laws allow immediate release with no bail. Hey if you can’t afford bail no worries your libtard actors will bail you out. I hope one of these idiots has there house burned down and maybe they will have a change of heart. You can’t fix stupid. Vote these idiots out!!!
