MSNBC Freaks Out Over Musk-Twitter Situation

BUCK: The libs are freaking out about the whole Twitter situation. Here’s MSNBC’s…

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: I give CNN the rough stuff a lot. I gotta watch a little more MSNBC so I could pick up some great moments like this. Here’s MSNBC’s Katy Tur. Listen to this one.

BUCK: Notice, Clay, the assumption baked into all of this all along is that they have “the truth,” and therefore they can shut down anything that’s not “true.” These libs in the media lie all the time.

CLAY: Yeah. And, Buck, I think this has actually been wildly clarifying because what you are seeing happen in real time is the left wing in particular of the Democratic Party — which is wildly overrepresented among the blue checks on Twitter — is aggressively arguing that it’s too dangerous to let people say what they really think on social media.

They are saying, effectively, “Democracy itself is too dangerous. We can’t allow people to share their opinions and their voices in a wide manner without censorship or regulation.” They are telling on themselves. While they try to argue “Democracy Dies in Darkness” and all that jazz, the reality is, they are terrified of you and me and real people out there in America sharing our opinions every single day without filters added to it and without the algorithm deciding what we can and cannot see.

BUCK: I think it’s ’cause so many of their ideas are obvious garbage that without the ability to censor and control the conversation, they’d look stupid.

CLAY: Yeah. That’s a hundred percent right. And that’s why they go to not arguing on the substance but immediately saying, “You’re racist, you’re sexist, you’re homophobic, you’re transphobic,” attacks as opposed to actual debate.
