"Accurate to who?," Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey asked.From the Left's POV, all news that doesn't come from the Left is hate speech. Case in point, I made a comment on Twitter over the weekend that free speech is important and powerful...and necessary for a clear perception of and connection to reality itself (knowing full-well that it would rankle Lefties).
I got back exactly what I expected.
Most retorts were along the lines of "we already have free speech, we just don't permit "hate speech." Those Lefties honestly believe that any opinions that differ from theirs is "hate speech." I suggested to one commenter that when politics infects all discourse, it blinds people to any unbiased points of view.
He/she immediately blocked me, calling me irredeemable.
“...widely diverse viewpoints.”

The implication is that this council will tolerate individuals who are: masculine/non-homosexualist, non-woke/anti-virtue signaling, non-modernist religious (authentic Catholic), culturally and morally conservative (countercultural), anti-propaganda/true antifascist, and 100% supportive of our country while only supporting our country’s government when it deserves it.
He’s going to require something like the Marshall plan to pull this off.
What Musk’s takeover of Twitter has revealed is that the Lefties are like people on a very isolated island who, having no contact with outsiders, have lost touch with reality itself.
“Accurate to who?,” Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey asked.
That’s always been the question Jack. It sure as hell wasn’t accurate before.
Google/Youtube and Facebook aren’t remotely accurate either.
You Twitter people must know which ads are missing? Post them and let the boycott begin.
Something to keep in mind...

The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won't Tell didn't worry about this when Commies ran Twitter. F 'em.
I think that all of the ‘news’ sources should be flagged that way I can block them all at one time.
The Biden administration is fraudulent and that’s a fact, Jack.
As if it was accurate before Musk took over.
Sounds to me like the Administration has ordered those who get government monies to quit Twitter. This did not happen in woke boardrooms. It was an order from the administration.
debate is a good thing
it is a competition of ideas
This question is the original source of the entire twatter problem, the left does not believe in absolute facts.
"My own truth" is now and always has been, pure bullshit.
If we can not agree on certain basic facts, rules of the road, then the question , "Accurate to whom" becomes the standard, and the twatter that Musk bought is the outcome.
The Founding Fathers said that the Constitution of the United States would only work with a religious people, and they were correct.
As the US population becomes more secular, the less that people respect the Constitution.
From my Free Republic experience, it appears that the alternative to censorship is blasted propaganda. If you can’t silence the opposition, you drown them with noise.
The Internet, as a source of information, has already passed its zenith. Long-trusted authorities like encyclopedia have been swept aside, by it. Newspapers have been fishwrap for decades.
It’ll be interesting to see if Musk can come up with anything, though I think that his belief that he should is misplaced.
When it comes to politics, most issues are opinion based, and not subject to objective truth. The use of statistics is the most common way for politicians to promote a policy that may or may not be effective in the manner presented. While the numbers could be accurate, the context is speculative. There is simply no way to independently verify most politically based discussions.
Gee Jack are you implying that Twitter was truthful on your watch ? GTFO.
“...sparking debate about how it would achieve that and who determines what is accurate.”
Well, well, well. Just listen to that.
I thought it was Jack Dorsey, and since there were no debates about his stated aims, he must have been perfect.
But now, since perfection is gone, the credentialing argument crops up.
The only way to be accurate is to permit free unfiltered speech.
