In one stroke, no-nonsense Elon Musk exposed the Left-wing prejudices at the heart of Auntie’s reporting
Every so often, there comes along a piece of car-crash TV so deliciously excruciating that it affords hours of harmless fun. Think of Prof Robert Kelly in the middle of a solemn live interview on North Korea when his gleeful toddler, pursued by her horrified mother, came crashing through the study door to say hi to Daddy.
Even better for sheer comic embarrassment, I reckon, is the interview the BBC’s North America Technology reporter, James Clayton, did this week with the world’s second-richest man and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Generally, when a journalist is preparing for an encounter of that importance, you really do your homework. Young Clayton thought it was sufficient to turn up with a bunch of lazy, Leftist assumptions which probably quite accurately represent the group-think in the BBC newsroom. Elon Musk had other ideas.

And he wasn’t finished. Challenged by Clayton over Twitter no longer flagging up so-called Covid “misinformation” (aka, things posted by lockdown sceptics like me which usually turned out to be true), Elon inquired mischievously: “Does the BBC hold itself at all responsible for misinformation regarding masking and side-effects of vaccinations and not reporting on that at all?” You could cut the silence with a knife.
“And what about the fact that the BBC was put under pressure by the British government to change the editorial policy, are you aware of that?” Musk taunted.
“This is not an interview about the BBC,” spluttered Clayton.

I can’t even stand BBC america and they’re libtards talking down to us on PBS state sanctioned libtard fake media.
Layer after layer after layer of crap
I like it that he does not allow self-thinking “superiors” to walk all over him. And in fact, often walks all over them, shocking them.
Too bad Elon didn't use Jerry Seinfeld's response: "I think it is."
12 April: CNS News: BBC Reporter Cites Group Seeking to Censor Conservatives in Effort to Convince Musk Hate Speech Is Growing on Twitter
by CRAIG BANNISTER
Musk: “Give me one example. You literally can’t name one.”
Clayton: “The Strategic Dialogue Institute in the UK, they will say that.”
Musk: “Look, people will say all sorts of nonsense.”
Clayton was referring to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD). According to its website, ISD’s mission is to combat “hate, polarisation and disinformation.”
However, ISD is a liberal-funded organization known for advocating the censorship of conservative views, by labeling them hateful, disinformation or misinformantion, as an analysis of ISD by Influence Watch (LINK) explains...
***“In 2021, National Public Radio reported that the ISD led a coordinated effort to identify and censor criticism of climate change narratives during the run-up to the United Nations‘ COP26 climate summit.”...
“The Institute for Strategic Dialogue’s ‘partners’ include the left-leaning groups Anti-Defamation League, Demos, Fair Fight Action, and the Global Disinformation Index,” Influence Watch reports, listing some of ISD’s nonprofit funders:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
Left-wing billionaire George Soros’ The Open Society Foundations,
Left-wing billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s Omidyar Network,
The United States Institute for Peace, and
The National Democratic Institute...
ISD “frequently classifies typical conservative discourse and journalism as hate and/or disinformation and has received funding from the U.S. government,” according to a Daily Caller investigative report, “State Department Funded Foreign Think Tank Working To Censor Americans”...
“The State Department’s partnership with the ISD is problematic at best and unconstitutional at worst,” Internet Accountability Project President Mike David told the DCNF...
