It is comical the degree to which journalists treat everything as a both-sides debate until something happens to *them* at which point it's an unambiguous moral problem.
@seldo It's comical that conservatives are completely clueless about free speech.
The First Amendment applies to the government controlling speech--as in the Trump White House putting pressure on Twitter to remove links & unflattering stories.
Musk banning journalists critical of him is censorship, plain and simple. It's comical how conservatives support censorship while they claim to support "free speech."
But the next time conservatives have a coherent thought, it will be the first time!
@trueslicky @seldo Except, that's not what happened at all. That story is factually false.
Musk didn't ban journalists critical of him. He didn't ban anyone. His company, #Twitter, applied its terms of service against doxing, and whether I agree with those terms or not, it's a fundamentally different story than what you're promoting here.
But I recognize that your goal seems to be haranguing conservatives, facts be damned.
Personally, I'm liberal, but IMO part of being on that side of the scale involves calling out such nonsense.
But...but...they "violated Twitter's terms of service by doxing!"
Such nonsense. Elon is engaging in censorship. Obvious fact is obvious.
Clearly "free speech" = "whatever billionaires feel like letting people say today."

@trueslicky @seldo So all of the media outfits--fellow journalists, mind you--that have reported on the violations, they're all just lying?
It's all a big conspiracy among journalists to throw each other under the bus?
Or might it be possible that maybe, just maybe, some of these journalists aren't innocent and pure as the wind driven snow?
I really don't care about #Twitter. It was always a garbage site. I don't care about #Musk either.
But I really wish people wouldn't be so quick to deny facts and substitute their own realities for the sake of dramatic stories.
That does nobody any good.
@seldo @volkris Not even media outfits, but the LAPD has also not corroborated Elon's claims.
But if you post the LAPD's statement not corroborating Elon's claims, you're "doxxing real-tme location." Or WTF ever.
TIL that neither Elon Musk or his sycophantic Musk Rats know WTF "doxxing" means. Sad.
Als, will someone check Elon's laptop all ready? We all know it's 100 percent full of child porn.
@volkris @trueslicky literally no media outfit has corroborated Musk's claims. There's somebody lying but it's not them.
