My friends-all those traditional news outlets that -for generations and generations-were known as trusted and pretty reliable news sources -really are now simply the propagandists and accomplices of the left.
The fact that-none-of those media outlets reported on the ‘big reveal’ Friday ...by Elon Musk...makes it official.
On Friday, Elon Musk had an independent journalist named Matt Taibbi release the findings of twitter’s internal review -and with all sorts of documentation, email proof and specifics-
And it laid out in detail how the democrat party colluded with twitter ‘content’ execs at the absolute highest levels of the company...to censor not only the Joe and Hunter Biden laptop scandal-but any content that the Biden campaign and/or democrat third party groups decided could hurt Biden’s chances for election.
This is based on thousands and thousands of internal documents that musk gave Taibbi access to...and they prove that the Biden campaign and the DNC directed twitter to censor users and content- and that this censorship was at its peak during the final days of an election that was believed to be super close-between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
And given what an important role social media pages like twitter and Facebook have played in our most recent campaigns-this absolutely-could have affected the outcome of the election.
For years-polls have made it clear that something like 60 percent of voters say that knowing about the Biden family business scandal before that election may have affected how they voted.
Some of the emails in those trove of documents even shows twitter censors and dem operatives admitting that the primary motivation of these moves was to ‘get Joe Biden elected’.
Twitter execs-flat out-rigged the information being allowed out onto their platform-to be seen by their users- and in the process, helped rig the election results.
Elon Musk called this a huge violation of the first amendment-in which government isn’t supposed to be involved in censoring or controlling speech...
Moreover, musk’s findings make it clear that the liaisons between the Biden camp, the DNC, and the twitter execs-knew that: they knew what they were doing was wrong. Clearly.
They just didn’t care.
At one point, there were uncomfortable discussions among some dissenting ‘content’ executives, saying...our content policy is-not-meant to be used this way...
And yet, the top-level execs ordering the scrubbing of the site on behalf of the democrats just kept going. In fact, the players involved at both the campaign and DNC- and- on the other side of the equation at twitter.... got so comfortable doing this that, after a while, they developed their own sort of comfortable shorthand...back and forth...
With the Biden campaign emailing notes to the effect of ‘here’s another batch of stuff we find problematic’...
And the twitter exec’s reaction back is one word ‘handled’.
That is far from being a careful and skeptical reviewer of content because of a complaint. That’s mindlessly doing the bidding of the Biden administration and the DNC.
If they can send daily batches of links to tweets to twitter’s content honchos...and without any push back or review just get a ‘it’s handled’ in return...
That tells you how egregious the censorship that was going on really was.
There are all sorts of smaller revelations here, too, but the bombshell is how fast and willing left wing twitter execs were to start censoring political content in favor of ‘one side’ in the final weeks of an election.
Another revelation Taibbi makes is that it took ‘zero thought’...and ‘zero reason’ for twitter to start banning and blocking anyone who dared to share a link related to the Hunter Biden business scandal.
It was a small group of twitter execs who-without the approval of the CEO, Jack Dorsey- decided to label the NY posts story on hunter’s laptop as ‘hacked material’...with zero evidence...
And then use that as a basis for banning the NY post from the site, along with any reporting they did on it...
And that flowered into banning anyone who dared to share any links related to the laptop-including people like Kayleigh McEnaney and Trump officials...
As well as people like James woods- a rare conservative Hollywood actor.
Woods was on Tucker Carlson’s show Friday and said that -based on the evidence that he’s already seen that shows Biden’s campaign and other dem affiliates specifically asking twitter to target him for censorship... He’s going to sue.
Woods says-the bully democrats have genuinely destroyed his career. He couldn’t get work after this.
There is-zero doubt- that it grew exponentially right thru election day...and Christmas of 2020....and then really exploded after January sixth.
I’d argue that by thanksgiving of 2020-after this successful campaign to censor conservatives had worked to help Biden win the election-they just kept it going and got more brazen with their ‘quick hook’ when it came to blocking and censoring conservative content.
But then after the January sixth riot-when twitter and Facebook had a more concrete excuse-
A concrete example they could use to claim that trump and conservatives were a ‘threat to democracy’...
And that ‘free speech itself was a threat’....
Well then, this campaign of censorship really kicked into high gear. And it has been ‘all bets are off’ ever since, at these social media companies- especially Facebook and twitter.
Since the Jan sixth riot of 2021.and right up until this point-
So-for nearly two years-we have had the Biden administration, the leaders of the democrat party, their activist organizations, and the heads of these social media companies, themselves, all engaging in a campaign that insists ‘free speech is dangerous’.
Right?
We’ve been putting up with that vile, anti-American suggestion for at least two years now: that free speech is dangerous. That a free exchange of ideas is dangerous.
That an open forum for the free exchange of ideas of the sort that musk is trying to create-be dangerous.
This has been a relentless left-wing jihad against free speech and a direct attack on our constitution. And ironically-they claim they are ‘standing up for democracy’ as they do it.
It is why I keep insisting: this is socialism. This sort of campaign- meant to convince the masses that stifling and taking away their free speech needs to be done ‘for their own good’ is what socialist and communist regimes do.
And for the last two to seven years...we have seen the left doing it here in America.
And why are the leftists so furious at Elon Musk and his release of the backroom dealings?
Well-because he is revealing exactly how the sausage is made in Washington, and on the American left, in general.
You see democrats both bullying-and working with-private companies and organizations to censor information and manipulate the masses.
And as one pundit put it over the weekend: you’d think that the news industry would be happy to receive this level of transparency and scrutiny.
But they aren’t.
Why aren’t they?
Because they are-involved. These major news organizations are true accomplices and propagandists of the left, now. They are involved in the scheme to censor and manipulate information. And have been for a very long time.
Musk is blowing up their machine...and their monopoly on organized misinformation and manipulation. That’s why.

I want to pick up where I left off earlier, talking about Elon Musk’s ‘big reveal’ Friday.
It proved that-as many of have suspected for years now- that there were back channels between twitter execs and the Biden admin and DNC that had them coordinating to block content and users- to manipulate election coverage in the dem’s favor.
This was happening so routinely that the emails, over time, reveal a shorthand developed in which left wing twitter execs in charge of content didn’t even question why the Biden campaign or DNC wanted something removed...it was just ordered removed...and ‘handled’...on twitter’s end.
Initially, a few other Twitter execs expressed an unease with what their ‘content controllers’ were doing...but any push back was brief and limited....as this censorship scheme quickly grew out of control.
In fact, part of what is ‘revealed’ here, is that this never even started as an attempt to be more careful and accurate about what was being put on twitter-
Even in its earliest stages, it looks like an attempt to protect democrat candidates. A handful of twitter execs were only too happy to start using their power to get Biden and other dems elected.
There was no ‘careful content management’ at all, demonstrated here, so far as I can see.
It happened. The thousands and thousands of documents Matt Taibbi reviewed, and Elon Musk has in his possession-prove-this all happened...
And they prove that this back-channel censorship continued with ‘direct links’ set up to the Biden white house.
I’d remind you that Jen Psaki, even slipped and admitted it during a white house press briefing related to covid misinformation.
She flat out said: we have direct channels open to the social media sites and are instructing them on what to take down as ‘misinformation’.
We know this manipulation of content -and of the American people-continued after Biden was elected and his cadre of young socialists had set up his regime.
It proves that this sort of propagandist activity is now a routine part of daily life in America, when not a single major network or major newspaper covered this document dump and these Elon Musk revelations on Friday.
Not a single network except fox: ABC, NBC, CBS. Not the NY Times or Wash Post. Not a single news outlet that we’d consider to be part of that ‘legacy left-wing media’ covered this story Saturday morning.
Isn’t that pathetic?
Not even though there are thousands and thousands of internal documents that prove that the Biden campaign and the DNC directed twitter to censor users and content- and that this censorship was at its peak during the final days of an election that was believed to be super close.
Molly Hemmingway was on Laura Ingram's show on Friday night...and said...yes...
Given how close this election was-yes-having twitter and Facebook block the dissemination of the hunter laptop/Biden family corruption story was a big deal leading up to election day.
Yeah, among other things-this review shows that twitter content managers took down posts and blocked users who were sharing photos of Hunter Biden naked, smoking crack, lying in bed with hookers-
Now-those photos were certainly real. They had nothing to do with ‘misinformation’. And yet, twitter content managers engaged in a campaign of blocking anyone who dared to post them, to help the Biden campaign keep a lid on the laptop story until after the election.
Actor James woods was one of the more famous people who got banned from twitter for an extended period...simply for sharing a photo of a naked Hunter Biden smoking a crack pipe.
None of those tweets had anything to do with Hunter’s business dealings or the Biden race for president. But the Biden team wanted them censored, anyway, just because they made Joe Biden look bad.
And twitter execs didn’t even bat an eye. They just complied. No defense of free speech or an individual’s rights. No argument over how far the company should go to honor the wishes of a political campaign that was clearly just trying to hide a scandal.
Nope. Twitter execs just leapt to comply and delete those tweets and ban their posters.
Folks....
Some of the emails in those troves of documents even show twitter censors and dem operatives admitting that the primary motivation of these moves was to ‘get Joe Biden elected’.
Twitter execs-flat out-rigged the information being allowed out onto their platform-to be seen by their users- and in the process, helped rig the election results.
Folks...the people controlling content at twitter got so comfortable doing this censoring on behalf of Biden and the DNC that, after a while, a shorthand develops...back and forth...
With the Biden campaign emailing ‘here’s another batch of stuff we find problematic’...
And a twitter exec tweeting back. ‘handled’.
As in. Done.
No need to ask twice. Consider it handled.
As I said earlier, that is far from being a careful and skeptical reviewer of content because of a complaint. That’s mindlessly doing the bidding of the Biden administration and the DNC.
If they can send batches of links to tweets to twitter’s content honchos...and without any push back or review just get a ‘it’s handled’ in return...
That tells you how egregious the censorship that was going on really was.
Twitter helped rig the campaign in Biden’s favor, and then just a few weeks later, after the January sixth riot-i would argue that that’s when -any-attempt to hide their growing censorship disappeared.
Folks, once twitter and Facebook had a more concrete excuse to censor Donald Trump and conservatives on their sites-they took it-and both sites started to censor content with abandon. To ‘save democracy’.
Correct?
And I’m going to make this point again, because it’s important: for nearly two years-we have had the Biden administration, the leaders of the democrat party, their activists, and the heads of these social media companies, all engaging in a campaign that insists ‘free speech is dangerous’...and they are ‘saving democracy’ by trying to censor our speech.
Correct?
This is a big step down any path to socialism: to insist that free speech is dangerous, and a free exchange of ideas is dangerous.
And yet- this is what America’s left has been doing for over two years- as they message to their moron masses that they are doing it to save democracy.
Don’t be a member of the moron masses.
