Steps are being skipped by Musk and those perpetuating the “government censorship” narrative. The FBI sent warnings, and in only one case do we have a single person (Yoel Roth) say that Hunter was mentioned ahead of time, and that was a “rumor” in his own words, and nobody else repeated this. Also, it’s clearly shown the government did not force or even coerce Twitter to take anything down.

The guy at TechDirt is not a partisan guy. He’s big on free speech and asserts that Musk can do whatever he wants with Twitter. But he’s calling out Musk and his merry band of “journalists” for inserting inferences masqueraded as facts.

The right wing has fully bought into the absurd notion that they are being censored by every media outlet and social media company in the world. So they VERY quickly make leaps of logic when presented with facts that seem to fit their narrative.

And I want to finish with: Taibbi claims the Trump WH sent takedown requests to Twitter. If this truly is an exposé, WHY do we have 7 chapters of leaks and not a single email from the Trump White House? This, plus the spin mixed with facts to try and fit a predetermined narrative, tell me we’re just getting the story Musk wants to sell to the public.

The post from TechDirt doesn’t contain anything that is abjectly wrong.

To say there is no evidence is abjectly wrong, despite your attempts to discredit the Roth affidavit.  That is evidence.  And his phrase "new lie" is a clear statement of bias; a lie requires intent.  He is free to disagree with it, but to call it a lie is biased.

The right wing is censored, and to think otherwise is absurd.  If you doubt bias in general, you can look at Tim's video in his "actual election interference" thread to see one of 54932785432 examples of such bias, in this case in the reporting on the vaccines.

Not sure why you bring up the Trump emails with Taibbi, we had that discussion, he doesn't have them.

Not sure why you bring up the Trump emails with Taibbi, we had that discussion, he doesn't have them.   

You selectively quoted the piece, leaving out what he said there was no evidence OF.

Quote

First up, we already did a huge, long debunker on the idea that the FBI (or any government entity) was in any way involved in the Twitter decision to block links to the Hunter Biden laptop story. Most of the people who believed that have either ignored that there was no evidence to support it, or have simply moved on to this new lie, suggesting that “the FBI” was “sending lists” to Twitter of people to censor.

As we saw in the quoted Taibbi emails, the decision to block the NY Post article was an internal discussion only. Unless, of course, Musk has emails that he didn’t release… which brings me to the Trump issue.

Musk is only releasing selected emails to tell the story he wants. For all we know, there could be emails directly contradicting the story he’s trying to tell. If he’s withholding the Trump WH requests, what else is he withholding? Knowing that he’s cherry-picking what to release destroys the credibility of the entire enterprise.

And I know you already believe the right wing is censored. Which is why you’re willing to so easily consider the Twitter files to be actual journalism.

I guess we could go into hypotheticals. Imagine if George Soros bought Fox News and had some freelance journalists release an “exposé” about liberals being “‘censored” there, but using only selected emails that George gave them, AND the story could only be carried on Fox News itself. Somehow I doubt you’d consider such an enterprise to be journalism.

Musk is free to publish whatever he wants. You’re free to believe it if you want. And I’m free to point out that he’s intentionally excluding specific emails that we know exist, and probably all sorts of other things that make his narrative fall apart.

Why repeat the part where he asserts that there is no evidence to support it, when I just described evidence to support it.  He, like you still (apparently), are conflating "evidence" with a smoking gun email.

The problem with your Soros analogy:  on a scale of 0-10, where 0 is liberal and 10 is conservative, Soros is a 0 and Musk is a 4 or so.  He's actually more liberal than conservative, but you Lefties have gotten so used to shifting your (and the MSM's) perception of the center to the left, that anyone right of Soros is a Magatard.  Elon actually tweeted an image about this a while back, you probably remember it.

No liberal would ever tweet: “My pronouns are prosecute/Fauci.” A tweet that simultaneously blasts Fauci while making fun of pronouns? That’s 100% into the far right camp. Whatever he may have claimed to be before, his tweets over the past months have proven he’s nearly into QAnon territory.

As for Musk’s cartoon, self-proclaimed centrists are NEVER centrists. Just look at this board. You have both liberals and far-right folks both claiming to be centrists. At least some of us are honest about being liberals or conservatives. Maybe in one way, I can concede that Musk is a centrist: he sees himself as the center of the universe.

As for the evidence, that evidence doesn’t show that the government was involved in the decision making process for taking down the NY Post story… Which is what the article says. The warning about potential disinformation came before the story, and there is no evidence that anybody from the FBI was consulted or weighed in at any point during the deliberations of whether to ban the story or the NY Post account. The only evidence of ANY government involvement in that decision making process was an email from a Democratic lawmaker recommending that they NOT ban the NY Post.

If there is an email to/from the FBI about whether or not to ban the NY Post story, surely they would have shared it. Instead, we get already-known stuff about FBI sending regular warnings to social media companies of whatever potential hacks or disinformation were coming down the pike.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-12-20/south-pasadena-police-investigate-alleged-assault-elon-musk-security

Quote

South Pasadena police said Tuesday the department was investigating whether a member of Elon Musk’s security team confronted a man the billionaire identified last week as a “crazy stalker” and hit him with his car.

In competing versions of the Dec. 13 incident, Musk claimed a stalker followed a car transporting his young son and climbed onto the vehicle’s hood. But a 29-year-old Connecticut man filed a police report claiming he had a verbal confrontation with a driver that night, who then struck him with his vehicle.

Police said an officer went to an Arco gas station in South Pasadena at about 10 p.m. Dec. 13 after a report of an assault with a deadly weapon involving a vehicle. The Connecticut man claimed he’d been struck, according to a news release and city officials. He did not have physical injuries, a South Pasadena police spokeswoman said.

“The victim indicated he had just exited the northbound 110 Freeway and stopped to use his telephone in a parking lot in the 700 block of Mission Street,” South Pasadena police said. “While parked, the victim stated another vehicle pulled directly in front of him, blocking his path.”

The Connecticut man told police the driver of the vehicle got out and approached him, “accusing him of following him on the freeway.” According to police, each party took video during the dispute.

The man said he was struck by the vehicle as he was leaving the parking lot, police said, and “when the officer arrived on the scene, the suspect had already left.”

Police said the man did not identify his alleged attacker. Two days later, officials “learned the suspect involved in this case is believed to be a member of Elon Musk’s security team.” Police said they did not “believe Mr. Musk was present” but didn’t know whether Musk’s son was in the car driven by security staff.

I didn't watch the video but I would suggest to think our culture is the most important thing we have. And changing and basically losing that so quickly is truly a downfall of a nation. It took 100+ years to achieve many things but now in basically a wink of an eye, half the country wants to discard it and change it into something else that they don't even know what the results will end up being. And immediately, over the past 2 years, it's already been a failure. If this keeps up, just think what this country will turn into in about 20-30 years.

Lol.  If Musk was a lib, this thread would be flooded with quotes like “another ‘conspiracy theory’ proven true!!!!”

Instead, they’ve all ignored this.  I thought the video of the alleged “attacker” was odd, he seemed awfully calm for someone that allegedly “jumped on the hood of the car looking for Elon.”  I’m not a lawyer, I wonder if he (or Sweeney for that matter) might have a possible defamation case.

In twitter technical news, Elon claims he is getting rid of bots, but I’m not sure that’s true:  I first signed up for twitter over a year ago but eventually deleted it because I was spending too much time there (probably should do the same here and may as a New Year’s resolution, but I digress), but then re-signed up a few months back.   i really only read and never tweeted much, and the first go round I think I had like 20 followers including a couple bots.  This time around, I’ve only tweeted once so far (on a random crime post a few weeks ago), and in the past 2 days, I’ve been followed by like 60 Chinese bots.
