On the heels of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announcing Tuesday that he's planning a new program to air on Twitter, "NBC News NOW" guest host Tom Costello brought in former CNN host Brian Stelter for a chat about it all, NewsBusters said.
(snip)
Costello continued with a jaw-dropping question: “Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says? Or is this the point? It's just a free-for-all?”
Stelter didn't appear shocked by the "police" reference: “I think this is the point. It is a free-for-all. It's what Elon Musk wants to provide. This move by Tucker may cement the idea of Twitter as a right-wing website."

“But, but but WE are supposed to control what the masses see and hear! DON’T THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE??”
“brought in former CNN host Brian Stelter for a chat”
I had actually sort of forgotten about Stelter. He isn’t missed.
These delusional idiots need to be reunited with reality.
“Or is this the point? It’s just a free-for-all?”
Yes, that’s the point. Welcome to America.
The leftist attempt to silence Tucker backfired and now Tucker is self-employed and has more freedom to speak.
Tucker hopefully will be a fine replacement for Rush Limbaugh.
I can’t believe Tucker made of point of emphasizing the media was even factually correct. Why go into journalism if you don’t want to practice it ? At least use we are free to now use Community Notes to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading Tweets.
Free speech always threatens those who are in power.
Always.
Just like in the bad old days, heresy is punishable by death.
The names were Huntley and Brinkley and they were probably not as honest, even then, as we thought they were.
These people think they’re journalists.
The same people who police CNN - the viewers!
We the people will police Tucker. If we don’t like what he’s saying, we will move on. Kind of like what happened to CNN.
..especially when we know that Chronkite was a far left CFR One Worlder from way back... ymmv
Costello can cough up $10 for a blue checkmark and respond to Carlson on Twitter.
Oh My God! You mean there is actually free speech in this country????
How Horrible!
How will I silence my political opponents if there is a platform that allows them to speak?
Yep...tells you everything you need to know about the media. It’s “policed” all over, by liberals.
Now the alternative from NBC and their ilk: "Police" speech and the result is an "unfree-for-all," or simply a police state.
The totalitarians are showing themselves in plain view. Believe their words. They do.
Never forget, Brian Stelter is a potato.
You got that right!!! We are basically a light, low calorie version of the Soviet Union now, and getting worse by the day!🤬
Freedom of speech and the press are SO right wing.
Does NBC construe that its job is to spread the Democrats’/government’s approved line, whatever that might be? Apparently so. Were Costello’s questions “policed”?
