I'd really like someone to justify this to me. This is weaponizing government against freedom of the press.

Do we have to add that Musk is now calling for CBS's 60 Minutes journalists to be imprisoned because he didn't like what they reported?

How is this not anything but fascist? And if you agree it is, how are you okay with this?

Their actions show they want nothing but party line state media.


Twitter and Truth Social are the new state media.

First they doged the government, but I did not speak out because I wasn't a federal employee. Then they doged the media, and I did not speak out because I use Twitter. Then they doged me - and there was no one left to speak for me.


Big Brother says, why do we need AP when we have the Ministry of Truth (social)?
