X (formerly Twitter) is no longer an impartial and independent social media platform

[myata]

And just in case: no we cannot forget the reality, no other then Vladimir Putin (aka international thug, war criminal under international warrant) simply loves to do such "interviews" annually. In a fully controlled, assuredly friendly environment, no hard questions - and how else, in a "democracy"? Reminds us of something?

There's no need to draw parallels: they are right before our eyes. There's nothing here we didn't know.

Every politician loves doing interviews in a friendly environment. Well, except Kamala. She can't even take softball questions.

Quite possibly. I'm not a fan of that platform either way, but it just shows how easily these things can be turned into ideological and political instruments. And now Musk came out of all pretense of impartiality as its owner.

No it wasn't 'quite possibly', it absolutely was biased against conservatives. Not just Twitter either, all of big tech worked with Democrats and the mainstream media to suppress one side. Perhaps the most blatant example was the Hunter laptop story. The story was real and it could have been very relevant had it not been suppressed.

Trump was banned from Twitter, but not the crazy Ayatollah's or the Taliban? Trump has faults to be sure, but it's not reasonable to suggest that he was ever on the same level as the Ayatollah's and the Taliban.

Trump literally was in front of the National Black Journalist group last week for crying out loud. Taking hard adversarial questions from them. 

You are not a serious person. You are a lying person who won't engage directly with people on here when you are repeatedly called out. 

Harris has yet to do anything to answer questions, let alone a friendly interview.

Not only this. They both like water as well.

There's a thin line between persistent lying and perpetual mental degradation (aka, dumbness) just in case. The connection between these performances is of course obvious to anyone who can see and think for themselves: they have nothing to do with the reality; honesty; objectivity; and truth and everything, with propaganda.

This has nothing to do with honest journalism. Putin, Kim and every decent thug around has people and shows for that. There's nothing here we couldn't have known.

Every politician does these kinds of interviews when they get the opportunity. Pretty weak, myata.

So... how close are you to that line which way? Is it persistent lying for you or mental degradation?

Is that why you can't see how obvious it is what you are doing here with your dishonest games?

Elon Musk is not a journalist. This was never framed as journalism. 

Trump was in front of the entire National Black Journalist group a week ago taking adversarial questions. 

Stop lying Myata. Be a better person. Engage directly with people and stop hiding.

Just in case, I didn't use it much anyways cancelled it today.

 

LOL - they said she was offered the same thing, and that's true   

Now you're having a freak out becasue you don't like it being true.

This is again an assertion, not a fact. Not all politicians are all same. Not all politicians are compulsive liars. Not all politicians refused to acknowledge their defeat in democratic elections; not all made efforts to overturn them. Not all politicians are felons convicted by their citizens.

So no: not factual, false. A stretch of a lowest standard, like who cares and why. As usual, of course. Nothing great as arguments go.

You're a hypocrite and an illiterate fool.

For the record I don't worship Biden and Harris; they are far from prophets and I don't agree with all they did or propose. And I couldn't care less if they went for an election promotion in a friendly talk show, sure many politicians do that. But then, it has to branded honestly as such, a political promotion event, nothing to do with normal journalism, "an interview". And recorded as such, under all the rules, in democracy.

Liars always lie and will try to throw smoke and confusion. Why? Because they have nothing to say. This the reason why they avoid any meaningful, rational discussion.

[WestCanMan]

Again, leftards, I'll point you in the direction of T.N.I - the propaganda network that works for the Dems in the US and the Libs in Canada. They also worked to shove covid propaganda down our throats.

T.N.I includes CBC, BBC, NYT, WashPoo, Google, FB, Reuters, AP, etc, etc, and somehow, despite having the most massive "braintrust" in the history of the media they got every covid narrative wrong and they all participated in banning and/or shadow banning the truth about the BSL4 lab and the Hunter laptop. That's not just 'wrong', that's fascist and wrong.

The entire T.N.I conglomerate tells lies constantly and then just moves on to the next lie without shame, and Twitter used to be a part of the official T.N.I. fold, and now they're not. 

The reason that leftards are so butthurt about X being owned by Musk now is that the left's complete stranglehold on social media platforms was broken. They had Twitter, FB, Google and Youtube all to themselves, and now they just have a 3-1 ration instead of a 4-0 monolpoly.

Every good little cultist is supposed to fling the message far and wide now "STOP USING TWITTER! STOP USING X!"

It has nothing at all to do with Musks's bias, and everything to do with regaining their hive's total monopoly on social media platforms.

So, this is your confession. 

You started in this thread pushing lies about what this was and what was happening. You hide from our repeated responses to you pointing out the facts. 

You are the one who is not interested in reason, meaningful, or rational discussion.

we assume you do it because you like it.  Its certainly easier than knowing things or telling the truth for you,

One has to be either of: a) impaired b) confused or c) deliberately misrepresenting (d, all of the above) to pretend to forget that he was suspended for a reason: like peddling the lie of the "stolen election" and inciting the crowds that caused real harm.

I've no idea about the latter. But to pretend, innocently that it had anything to do with political censorship is quite dishonest. And I see no point in engaging with anyone who is either incapable or not intending a genuine discussion. There's so much cr*p around already and would be the point on wasting one's precious time on it?

You have not been engaging honestly here with us anyhow or giving us a genuine discussion before now.

Also, being a genius he timed it right next to his suit against advertisers. Now the service can be perceived as politically affiliated and advertisers will have a material cause to avoid it. If a porn site attracted 100M subscribers could it sue for an ad revenue share from baby powder businesses?

For some reason, there's a recurring pattern of misrepresenting, debilitating impairment (like total memory loss) and dumbness associated with this agenda. Why could that be?

I wish Donnie wouldn't have attacked Ron DeSantis. Good guy who's really led the way on protecting kids from Marxist indoctrination.

Hopefully they come together for the good of the country

[gatomontes99]

The left should really listen to it. It is probably the most informative and honest conversation you will ever get with a politician.

You just bounce from one outlandish claim and lies to the next thing. 

Advertisers don't need cause to avoid anything... they can avoid all they want to. What companies can't do is collude with each other in the marketplace in certain circumstances under anti-trust laws. 

Not sure what legal weight Musk will have here, I am no expert, but on the surface it certainly doesn't look very good when you have corporations colluding together to boycott certain agencies like they did with X. Now, acting on their own, they can do as they please...

They have... DeSantis endorsed Trump as soon as he dropped out and has been actively supporting the campaign.

If Musk wants to use his platform as a tool and platform for political promos for a certain cult sure why not. Maybe his shareholders will be excited or otherwise. But surely it's got very little to do with an impartial and objective information source and social network. Sure, he can.

Anyone can use X for a political platform. The mechanism he used can be used by others too. It is a feature offered. 

Musk has no obligation to be impartial or objective. None. 

You are conflating what Musk is doing and what the policies are of X.
