Let's try to stay on topic, please.

I said nothing about Musk. See?

I'm pointing out the use of lies and hyperbole. Ironic, that they are, isn't it? And that you'll defend them.

Yeah, we can discuss the hypocrisy that is Musk. But that has nothing to do with calling these clowns journalists.

Except you're attempting to legitimize the decision by calling journalists "clowns," as if you're the gatekeeper of "real" journalism.

People making these sorts of excuses are usually the ones who are most vocal about the importance of free speech. Ironic, isn't it?

Me? Gatekeeper? Nah. That's something real jouralists do / have already done.

But if you want to side with MSNBC, CNN and Mashable, go ahead. You're on the wrong side of the line. Orwellian is not a good look, no matter how normalized it might be.
