A CNN talking head declared Sunday that if Elon Musk is allowed to buy Twitter, the platform will have to be government regulated to prevent ‘discourse’ being open and free, and not subject to establishment controlled censorship.
While discussing the Musk take-over on CNN’s potato time with Brain Stelter, “media analyst” David Zurawik proclaimed that Musk is “dangerous” and shouldn’t be allowed to restore free speech on the platform.
Zurawik suggested that the U.S. look to Europe, which has recently brought in new laws to limit social media, and even threatened to ban Twitter if Musk doesn’t play ball.
“There’s a bigger problem here about how we’re going to control the channels of communications in this country,” Zurawik frothed, panicking at the notion of the likes of CNN not being able to dictate what Americans think.
“This is dangerous! We can’t think anymore in this country!” Zurawik whined, adding “I’m serious! We don’t have people in Congress who can make regulations, that can make it work.”
“I think we can look to the Western countries in Europe for how they are trying to limit it. But you need controls on this,” the talking slap head continued.
“You need regulation. You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell,” Zurawik further suggested.
“We are there,” he added, further claiming that “Trump opened the gates of hell and now they’re chasing us down.”
“We gave over what amounts to our airwaves or our internet waves to Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and we are in so much trouble because those guys believe in making money,” he said.

Zurawik repeated a talking point that Hillary Clinton raised last week, championing Europe for cracking down on ‘disinformation’:

And now, just a week later, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has rolled out a literal Ministry of Truth, headed up by a deranged partisan who truly believes that anything she disagrees with is hate speech.
There is a lady that does the funniest Pelosi impression ever. Joe Dan Gorman features her in Intellectual Froglegs. I had to watch it a few times because it made me laugh at how close to real it is.
How are they going to control the channels of communications in this country? You aren’t.
This is really scary. I pray there are enough of us to shut down this kind of censorship.
The ones able to be brainwashed do not look in mirrors.
Here is a movie scene that pre-saved this event: https://youtu.be/BlEo8PQChG4
From the movie Shooter
Not to mention the strong rumor that psycho cut of his own nads.
Wtf was that???
Speaking of Germany, you would think all these LEFTISTS Jews would Not want this .....I dont get it.
Personally I think Twitter is for the birds. It amuses me how liberals are acting like the Musk takeover is the end of the world.
LOL, that would be right in line with everything else we heard about him-I had never heard that, but...sounds about right.
The aliens will provide for everything. Kind of thinking like Pelosi there, come to think of it!
Communists are not real big on free speech.
Really freakin’ scary that not only do these people think this way but they’re actually trying to control us all.....I believe now more than ever thstv90% of the covid mandates and the rest of it were just exercises in control and compliance.
The tipping point is close, and were I the media, I’d worry about keeping alive because we have lost our patience with them. There will be no mercy. Zip, zero, nada.
“The ones able to be brainwashed do not look in mirrors.”
True, but I’ll still remind them of just who they’re supporting on Ukraine when articles like this appear.
How is Elon Musk any different than Jack Dorsey or any of the other jackasses running American tech companies.
The left already controls essentially all the means of communication. Already. Now. Today.
The left has its iron fist around broadcast TV, most cable channels, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, most newspapers, banks, credit card companies, electronic payment apps such as PayPal, the irs and the fcc.
They controlled twitter until just now. Trump had been kicked off twitter. But suddenly, within 2-3 weeks the leftist nazis all had a collective stroke - they were losing part of their grip on communication - Trump started Truth Social and Musk bought twitter. The left’s world crumbled and millions of weak-brained leftists had a panic attack.
As a response, the nazis in the federal government decided to use their power to regain control. They created the Orwell Ministry of Truth to identify and neutralize anyone who dared oppose the left’s actions.
Posting what I really think about these people would get me banned.
“It’s amazing, Democrats have fully become the Republican Party of the 1960’s, who want to control every aspect of your life and dictate what you can and cannot see or hear. Crazy that the Right is now more liberal than the Left.”
that’s a very accurate observation ... the Dems have transitioned from supposed “liberals” in the 1960’s to hard left fascists, while the 1960’s Pubs have transitioned from supposed control freaks financed by big biz into what amounts to classic liberalism [at least the Trump branch of the Pubs has] ...
He’s afraid of the Freedom in Channels Of Communications In This Country and the Death of The Ministry of Disinformation
My bad, applewhite didn’t de-nad himself but one nut job did try it with not so great results.....a real shocker right?
See #6.......SMH
It’s not just the Trumpers, it’s most people The Left has left the common people behind and are now the party of the Rich Authoritarians who want to control every aspect of your life.
