Morning Joe On Musk Twitter Takeover: 'We All Believe In Free Speech, BUT...'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/26/2022 4:18:11 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

That free-speech thingy is okay, but not if it's mean to women! That was Morning Joe's general take today on Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.

There was an exchange between Mika Brzezinski and New York Times Washington bureau chief, Elisabeth Bumiller. The latter uttered that classic line, "we all believe in free speech, BUT..." Bumiller went on to fret about the "guardrails" coming down, and claimed Twitter has become "a platform for a lot of misogyny."

Brzezinski broke in to recite a litany of horrors ahead on Musk Twitter: "hate speech, defamation, misogyny!"

These liberals could care less about free speech. They’re only interested in the ability to spout their own views, and to suppress conservative ones.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

As I understand Twitter, don’t you have to “follow” someone to receive their tweets? Seems like it would be rather easy to just not follow “misogynists” in the first place if you don’t want to see their stuff.

free speech, means just that free speech! you are free to be a jerk or a communist, or a POS woke idiot, or a retard who is a man who thinks he can just pretend to be a woman and that will make it so!

There is no “but” with Free Speech, you either have it, or you don’t.

It’s the equivalent of, “I’m sorry, but,....” No you’re not sorry if there’s a but in there.

Sheee-it, there are misogynists crawling all over social media. Elon Musk didn’t have anything to do with that. There are several open and vocal misogynists right here on FR.

Suck it up, tell ‘em to stick it up their poop shoots, make fun of their tiny tallywhackers, but get out of here with your “guardrails.” Your stupid little “guardrails” are for silencing people who have opinions that differ from yours, Elisabeth. *Deal* with it.
