Jonathan Turley Roasts Joe Biden After Elon Musk Drops Good News About Twitter's Future









George Washington University law school professor Jonathan Turley, who has never been shy in his spot-on criticisms of pro-censorship forces on the left, responded accordingly to Musk’s announcement by roasting President Biden, who infamously declared just after the 2022 midterm elections and after being asked if he felt that Musk was a “threat to U.S. national security” that Musk’s supposed joint acquisition of Twitter was “worthy of being looked at” by federal investigators.


Turley wrote:

President Biden however, has denounced Musk as a guy who “goes out and buys an outfit that spews lies all across the world.” He then claimed “There are no editors anymore. There are no editors anymore.”
The President the added:
“How do people know the truth? What do they — how do they make — make a distinction between fact and fiction? There’s so much — so much going on. And we’re in the middle of this.”
Indeed, perish the thought that citizens might be left to pursue the truth on their own without the government or surrogates in the media framing it for them. How could we possibly “know the truth” without our social media overlords?
Apparently, millions each day are signing up to do precisely that.
As for Musk, he is predicting one billion users in a year. What a nightmare for many in Washington . . . one billion people discussing contemporary issues freely . . . without “editors” telling them what “the truth is.”

Whenever discussions about “misinformation” and “disinformation” take place, always remember that those who harp on the most about the dangers of both are usually the same ones who are the worst offenders (usually leftists) when it comes to mangling the facts, deliberately and otherwise. Not only that, but their real issue is actually with the free flow of information and how to better control it because not doing so might cause ordinary citizens like you and me to think differently and to question the government, and we can’t have that now, can we?

Twitter erupts after Elon Musk mocks CNN with satirical chyron about threats to free speech



Musk posted a picture of CNN’s Don Lemon on Monday alongside a satirical chyron that read, "Elon Musk could threaten free speech on Twitter by allowing people to speak freely."

Some Twitter users were confused about whether the meme was from an actual CNN broadcast. The image is originally from Geniuses Times, a satirical website that describes itself as "the most reliable source of fake news in the planet."


Nevertheless, Musk’s post prompted a wide range of responses, from conservative praise to liberal meltdowns.

CIA analyst decries free speech 'nonsense' on Musk's Twitter, claims it will benefit Russian disinformation



CIA analyst Bob Baer claimed that "Putin is going to be all over Twitter" thanks to billionaire owner Elon Musk’s policies for running the company.

He also stated that the "voice of the people" Musk claimed wants free speech is "Russian intelligence" looking to undermine American support for Ukraine.

During a recent segment on CNN, the analyst argued that Musk’s pro-free speech attitude towards operating the company, particularly in the way he has decided to reinstate banned accounts and not suspend users for any speech, means Russian hackers will benefit.

🔥 The Hill ran a story yesterday headlined, “Twitter Stops Enforcing COVID Misinformation Policy.” Uh-oh! Prepare for chaos!

After the announcement yesterday, professional fact checkers were upping doses of their antidepressants, fact checkers like Imran Ahmed, CEO of the the “Center for Countering Digital Hate,” who called the rollback of the covid-19 misinformation policy an “irresponsible decision” that puts lives at risk.

You mean, the policy’s rollback puts his POCKETBOOK at risk. Shut up, Imran, if that’s your real name.

Twitter also released the first statistics about banned accounts. Between January 2020 and September 2022, almost 12 million accounts were ‘challenged’ and over 11,000 accounts were banned for violating the policy. That’s a lot of ‘fact checking.’

Twitter also put up a new “transparency” dashboard. What do you think? https://transparency.twitter.com/

If I may ...
For your consideration ...

Have never quite understood why mutilating oneself is desirable.

Well, when it comes to piercings? Those women that get their tongue pierced? At least you know what they are good at performing. So that is at least one piercing that is ............ well, the most functional in its application.

Dark money network's anti-Twitter censorship campaign coalesces behind App Store attack vector




The Dossier has already reported on the origins of the campaign and its backers. We identified Arabella Advisors, a dark money progressive advocacy group funded through sister entities by the likes of Bill Gates, the Soros empire, and a far-left Swiss billionaire, as the network behind the anti-Twitter cancel and censorship campaigns.

Given the success of their ongoing advertiser boycott campaign, these same operatives have set their sights on a new mission: removing Twitter from the invaluable Apple and Google App Stores.

And there appears to be a coordinated campaign in major legacy media publications, many of which are influenced and funded by the dark money network, to convince the aforementioned App Store gatekeepers to pull the plug on Twitter. In recent days and weeks, The New York Times and The Washington Post, among other legacy media staples, have dedicated a considerable amount of opinion and pseudo reportage space to the App Store activism.
