I’ll fix this headline for them:

“When [a] Billion Viewers Tune In, it becomes nigh impossible for the media to spin it their way”

What do we think of the timing. Should he have held this until after the convention because she’s about to get another billion dollars worth of media praise.

Another brilliant end-run around the corporate media, which has been scooped once again.

Was the objective achieved? We won’t know for several days, or perhaps not until the election is declared closed and the votes properly counted.

But well worth it to see the collective anti-Trumpers soiling their underwear.

They are very good liars. They will figure out a way whether it makes any sense or not.

Any second now there will be some kind of emergency order signed regulating the internet and free flow of data. It don’t matter that it will be struck down, that will drag on til past the election of course.

The Enemedia can’t force people to watch the treason-laden Demonicrat National Convention. All the Enemedia can do is orgasmically repeat the lies told by Kamalamadingdong, Tampontim, Slick Willy, She-who-will-not-be-named, Traitorbarry, Big Mike, and any other Zombiecrats.

“Journalists are well aware Twitter replacing them”

*************

It can’t happen soon enough. Last night was a good start.

We don’t need them filtering and shaping our news, and trying to tell us what to think.

When others look back on this era, some will call Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter his $40b contribution to the GOP. Because issues otherwise buried by big media receive oxygen on Twitter, and many of these issues are GOP-friendly in that the Democrats have some really obviously crazy policies that make things worse.

If Kamala wanted to go on X to have a conversation with Musk, that could be easily arranged. But we know she won’t because she is afraid of potentially tough questions.

Perfect timing, opportune. Any big MSM praising Kamala is going to be obvious and copycat. Trump and Musk conversation was anything but contrived and fake.

Musk invited Harris to have a similar interview; of course, she refused, because she knows what an air head she is.

It is a bad idea to allow the adversary to determine when and how you take action. The media will be sycophants regardless of what anyone does. Reagan taught us to go direct and not to be obsessed with the adversarial MSM.

I don’t think Elon could stand a conversation with her.

It would be like talking to a giggling Yogi Berra.
