Perspective is important and based off this week’s whining on the World Wide Web- it is sorely lacking in our society right now. It simply means that you did not get your way. It does not mean that you, or democracy, or America, are in grave danger.
Today it might be that Twitter reinstated Donald Trump.īut just because you don’t like something, that does not mean you have been a victim of injustice. Last week, it might have been that Ticketmaster melted down and you weren’t able to get your tickets to The Eras Tour. On a serious note, everyone would do well to remember that in life there will be things that you don’t like and things that you disagree with.
TRUMP PSYCHOTIC BREAK FREE
This is only the beginning of companies and celebrities “leaving” Elon’s free speech-filled Wild West. Plus, the possibility that anyone at the highly respected network might be exposed to real news while scrolling through Twitter- well, that is simply too risky. It is bad form to make promises you can’t keep.
I suggest that CBS, out of an abundance of caution, uphold their end of the deal and stay away from the social media platform. In case CBS’ hypocrisy wasn’t obvious enough-less than 48 hours later, the news network returned to Twitter. Of course they could have verified the laptop but that would have required actual journalism, something that the principled geniuses at CBS are not familiar with. Trump should have asked Leslie if Dan Rather had been made aware of this company policy. “You know, this is ’60 Minutes,’ and we can’t put on things we can’t verify,” she told the former President. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard.Īnd who can forget when Leslie Stahl dismissed Donald Trump’s concerns over Hunter Biden’s laptop during an interview in October of 2020? The irony of CBS’ act of heroism is not lost on anyone who has even the slightest knowledge of the network’s checkered past.Īfter all, no one at CBS used an abundance of caution in 2004 when “journalist” Dan Rather reported on four “fake but accurate” documents that contained bogus allegations about President George W. The network’s national correspondent, Jonathan Vigliotti, said on Friday evening that, “In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform.” I have a feeling their performative outrage is reserved for special occasions.ĬBS News could not wait to get in on the unfolding drama. Good thing they are ex-employees then, right?īy the way, were any of these ex-Twitter workers “horrified” when their former company censored the NY Post for accurately reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop? On Sunday, Fortune magazine released an article titled, Ex-Twitter employees are horrified by Elon Musk reinstating Donald Trump’s account: ‘Incredibly upsetting.’ It didn’t take long for the left’s virtue signaling to begin. After over 15 million users cast their votes-and the results were in Trump’s favor- Musk brought back the one who shall not be named. He ran a poll asking users whether Donald Trump should be reinstated on the platform. Then on Friday, Musk did the unthinkable. He’s failure incarnate,” he tweeted.Īnd who can forget the fact that since Musk took over the company, he has been hell bent on getting Twitter staffers back into the office? His banning of remote work for employees (with certain exceptions) was not well received by the masses. Now he’s planning to starve the rest of them. Democrat activist Andrew Wortman expressed his outrage at this shocking development.
