CLOWN: CNN’s Oliver Darcy Wails Elon Musk ‘Misleading the Public’ with Twitter Files

CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy acted like a flunky for the FBI, throwing a conniption over Twitter owner Elon Musk’s revelations that the bureau paid the platform millions to censor Americans.

Darcy flailed in a Dec. 20 so-called “analysis” that Musk was “misleading the public — again.” He editorialized that “[t]he embattled billionaire, perhaps seeking to distract from the chaos he has wrought at his social media company, is making grossly misleading claims about Twitter and the FBI.” Darcy couldn’t handle Musk’s criticism that the FBI paying Twitter $3.4 million through a “reimbursement program” for staff time dedicated to “processing requests from the FBI” was related to censorship.

Darcy tried to portray Twitter as some kind of symbol of transparency. “Twitter’s guidelines for law enforcement, posted publicly on its website, openly disclose: ‘Twitter may seek reimbursement for costs associated with information produced pursuant to legal process and as permitted by law (e.g., under 18 U.S.C. §2706).’” This is the same platform that lied to the public about its shadowbanning.

End of story

Agreed. I believe Musk thought he bought a social media company but discovered he purchased a government propaganda operation. The Swamp thought he was one of them. Where he goes now will be interesting.

A communist walks into a bar ... ouch.

A second communist saw him walk into the bar and swears he wasn’t doing it right, this time it will work!

Who are you going to believe ... Musk, the twitter files and your lying eyes or some Marxist State Media hack?

The old "misinformation" trick for the zero-information sheep. America has run into an ice-burg.
