Mainstream Media Hypocrites Meltdown Over Elon Musk Bringing Free Speech Back to Twitter

Shortly after we told you that Elon Musk’s deal to purchase Twitter went through, Left-leaning news outlets began a full-fledged meltdown, seemingly at the prospect of conservatives having a voice on the platform again.

For example, MSNBC host Ari Melber is receiving criticism over this following statement:

If you own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you, you don’t have to explain yourself, you don’t even have to be transparent, you could secretly ban one party’s candidate or all of its candidates, all of its nominees. Or you could just secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else and the rest of us might not even find out about it until after the election?

Did he forget that the scenario he described literally happened with Donald Trump? The hypocrisy keeps going. CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter doubled down:

If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually go to that party? Or do you decide to stay home? And that is a question for Twitter users. Some Twitter users might love the idea there’s going to be absolutely no moderation and no rules at all. Others might not want to be anywhere near that.

The freedom party is the party that Americans are interested in, and Elon Musk realized that. ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell explained the hypocrisy of these news outlets:

What I said on Twitter was happy birthday to Ari Melber, who seems to have been born yesterday, because he’s been living under a rock. He’s complaining that Elon Musk just may shadowban people that he doesn’t agree with. . . . He is suggesting that somehow Democratic politicians may now be canceled off social media, despite the fact that Charlie Kirk right now is off Twitter – he has been banned from Twitter. You’ve got Donald Trump, who has been off for a long time. Where is the MSNBC crowd? Where have they been living? What have they been reading? Because they clearly have not been reading anything outside of their newsrooms. For Ari Melber to go off and suggest that Elon Musk may do this and miss the fact that Jack Dorsey has been doing this is the height of the problem of Washington, D.C.

Ric also mentioned a critical situation that has not made the headlines. The Biden Administration has reportedly encouraged Germany to delay their Russian oil ban until after midterm elections to keep gas prices down. Ric pointed out the political motive behind this:

It is truly outrageous. It is a total manipulation of the politics of government power. I am concerned that what we have here is a willingness by the Biden team to allow Russia to continue getting money, to continue being on the offense through this gas and oil money that they receive, even though they are sanctioned. They are doing this to make the pain not so bad at the pump in the United States. The terrible situation is that we already feel this incredible pain at the pump. People can’t afford to fill up their cars at this price. . . . Now what we see is the Biden team allowing Russia . . . to get more money just so that they can do better in the midterms.

ACLJ Chief Counsel and my dad Jay Sekulow summed it up:

So, you’ve got a war going on in eastern Europe right now between Russia and Ukraine, and eastern European countries are in the midst of this, and the United States is giving a lot of aid . . . to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the way to choke off the Russian juggernaut economically would be to stop the oil imports. But instead of stopping the oil imports now . . . they are saying, don’t ban the oil imports until after the midterms. . . . This is repulsive. People are dying in these countries on both sides. . . . This is a real war and eastern Europe could implode here and an easy way to have some economic impact would be the Russian oil exports stopping. But the Biden Administration is saying wait until after the midterms because that will help us politically.
