Usually X makes me think the democratization of media was a mistake, the people are too dumb and ideologically poisoned to be trusted But then you see US legacy media desperately try to astroturf this CCP shill and you remember how we got here

A regime change war in Latin America based on absurd rationales about drug trafficking, no explanation of goals, and counter to everything Trump promised campaigning. And we’re not even a full year into Trump’s term.

The US has known for decades that any attempt to expand NATO to Ukraine would provoke a Russian response. Biden and Victoria Nuland wanted that. CIA Director Gates told Condi Rice this in a 2008 memo. And newly released transcripts of Putin and Bush's 2008 meeting contain this:

Free speech guarantees don’t mean a reporter has the right to run any story she chooses in defiance of her editor. Holding a story until it is fit to air is the editor’s job. Administration complaints that this CBS reporter is irremediably dishonest have considerable merit.

Might also be significant that this exchange seems to involve a meeting in Paris, and that Trump was President of the United States at the time. Somebody might have noticed.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: In a 2017 Email from what appears to be an Epstein victim the woman writes "I m at the door but I will wait for my time..I don't want to come early to find Trump in your house". Significant given that Trump has long claimed he cut off Epstein years before 2017.

Google should not have waited to acknowledge it was pressured by the Biden administration to block content on its platforms. Google condemns jawboning now, but it failed to stand up for the rights of its users when it mattered. FIRE will continue to call on private institutions

Also, I have no use for the leftists claiming the Kimmel cancellation makes them greater victims than the man who was shot for his articulating his views, and the family he left behind.

I have to agree the FCC overstepped its bounds by pressuring the cancellation of Kimmel, but it's totally different from Biden-era pressure on social media companies. The Kimmel cancellation was based on corporate interests, not silencing the dissent of ordinary people.

A man was just shot for his beliefs and Democrats are really out here with “first they came for Jimmy” signs. Are you people fucking nuts? Where have you all been for the last decade while people were debanked, deplatformed, and canceled??? You were cheering for it. That’s where.

If Carr had exercised just a little bit of discretion, there would be no ambiguity at all around the sequence of events that unfolded last night. But all the players in this drama seem to like the heightened state of national apprehension they’ve encouraged.
