CLOWN: CNN’s Oliver Darcy Wails Elon Musk ‘Misleading the Public’ with Twitter Files
NewsBusters ^ | 12/23/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 12/23/2022 1:13:33 PM PST by JV3MRC

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.

Is Darcy an FBI asset or a CIA asset?

In before the anti-Musk trolls come out of their caves.

One can now watch US mainstream media exactly like one used to read Pravda or China’s People’s Daily - to know what the US deep-state politburo is thinking.

Making a record of events public is never mis-information.

I’d bet $5 that CNN got some money, too.

Musk isn’t a conservative, he isn’t by his own witness that I’m aware of a Christian, and he’s something of a con artist who bellied on up the the federal largess (which is not constitutional) to build an electric car company that would otherwise not be able to operate without the subsidies.

But Musk understands that the only way his investment works is if he restores confidence in Twitter. And despite the Left howling about him censoring them (when they are really upset he’s not gonna censor conservatives) that means actually playing fairly, fairly with them too, which means going after folks who break the rules no matter who they are.

So-called Progressives apparently can’t handle there being consequences when they misbehave. Look at how they went after a kid defending his life from criminals.

Left seethes as Elon Musk calls Democrats ‘the party of division and hate:’ ‘TERRIBLE AMERICAN’

The fact that one of the most powerful elites in the world had completely rebuffed woke, politically correct etiquette and slammed the left, sent his critics into an even more dramatic rage than previously. Liberals and Democrats swarmed his “party of division” tweet, dropping anger-filled comments.

“Musk isn’t a conservative, he isn’t by his own witness that I’m aware of a Christian, “


He is anti-woke

He is anti-union

He is anti-democrat

He exposed corruption in Twitter and the FBI

He followed on a promise to a friend to fix Twitter

He endorsed DeSantis, a solid conservative and Christian

That still doesn’t make him a conservative or a Christian.

Musk is Musk. He does his own thing.

I have been saying for a while now that the only way to deal with the Woke is to be happy when you offend them. If, for example, they wand a statue down or the name of something changed then put up another statue or take back a previous name change.

In fact, when the Woke say they are offended just smile warmly and say “You are welcome!”

If we have a media who can’t even get worked up about intelligence agencies running surveillance operations on the mass public, they are lost forever...
