GET A GRIP: Reuters Editor Freaks World ‘Worse Off’ with Musk Twitter Ownership
NewsBusters ^ | 10/31/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 10/31/2022 10:26:22 AM PDT by JV3MRC

An editor for one of the most powerful liberal media outlets in the world is having a breakdown over the world’s richest man completing his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.

Reuters U.S. Editor Lauren Silva Laughlin mourned that Twitter, “its employees, its new owners, its creditors and the rest of the world are probably worse off” now that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is Chief Twit. One of her core complaints was that Musk won’t be as zealous to silence free speech on Twitter as his notorious predecessors were. “[I]f Musk reinstates divisive tweeters like former U.S. President Donald Trump and fails to crack down on misinformation, the rest of the world will feel the consequences,” Laughlin wrote. More free speech? Oh the horror!

But this ridiculous conniption should come as no surprise for the same outlet that once spent column space fact-checking a clearly altered video showing President Joe Biden mindlessly following an ice-cream truck during a speech made by his wife Jill.

More than 1 billion people worldwide reportedly see Reuters’s coverage, which means Laughlin’s Armageddon doom-mongering about a Musk-owned Twitter and its effect on the "world" could easily reach hundreds of millions of readers, if not more.

Reuters is a propaganda device. They have been for a 100 years. Elon should get rid of the blue checks. They are all propagandists.

Reuters U.S. Editor Lauren Silva Laughlin.

The above parasite has built nothing. She has created nothing. She produces nothing.

She lives off of others effort.

The Globalists hate Trump.

They are beginning to say they hate Elon Musk, when the issue is he does not tell them what they want to hear. The universal Great Lie.

The world has never seen a time when such a large scale cabal has been put in place. Satan himself is at the helm.

Many of the Useful Idiots have not chosen wisely.

Hardly surprising that Rooters isn’t down with a fellow propaganda outlet being disinfected.

It really seems like “they” collectively had a plan to take away our freedoms and call it democracy.
To bad for them it’s not working as planned.

He paid too much for it.

I thought blue check just meant the person was verified. Maybe I’m wrong. If I’m right, perhaps an organization shouldn’t get a blue check unless a specific person is to be held responsible for everything posted in that org’s feed.

Blue meant your voice should be heard and you're real impotent, which is why they handed them out like candy to the libs and not Conservatives.
