In the New York Post’s headline, “White House Chosen to Head Big Brother Board Spread Lies About Hunter Biden’s Laptop.”
The Democratic government created a council against “disinformation” to be led by a consultant who in 2020 had questioned, in tweets and interviews, the news about Joe Biden’s son’s emails, published by the same NY Post.
A consultant who two weeks earlier on the NPR radio network had said of Elon Musk: “I shudder to think of free speech absolutists taking up platforms.”
The government council was formed shortly after the purchase of Twitter by Musk, recalled a user of the platform, leading the businessman himself to comment on the action as uncomfortable or unsettling (discomforting).
It comes along with a series of questions about the takeover by the Washington Post, The New York Times and others, based in part on statements from the current Twitter team.
Musk went so far as to quip that WPost shoots him “relentlessly” and “the insults could be of higher quality”, giving Jeff Bezos’s paper a rating of “three stars on Yelp“.
But it’s hard even for him to keep his mood. In a tweet, he criticized the executive believed to be responsible for taking down the NY Post in 2020, when the platform helped to disappear with the news of the emails.
“Suspending a major news organization’s Twitter account for publishing a true story was obviously incredibly inappropriate“, wrote the businessman, about his new company.
CENTER RIGHT
In mid-afternoon on Thursday (28), Musk tweeted an image (above) to argue that he wasn’t the one who changed his position over time. It indicates that he was in the center left, but the left pulled the center of the scale — and, without moving, he moved to the center right.
DISASTER?
In US headlines, GDP “shrank 1.4%” in the quarter, but that “masks a broader recovery”, according to the NYT.
CNN, which under new management has been groping for more nonpartisan coverage, said: “Today is a disastrous day for the Democrats’ chances in 2022.”
INDIA VS. CHINA, BY RUSSIA
Amid Biden’s billionaire spending against Russia, Reuters reports that India’s government has called on its biggest oil companies “to consider buying Russian assets” today with Exxon, Shell and others — and that the Chinese want too.
