Wut? Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Anti-CNN Tirade Defends the Last Guy You'd Expect – Tucker Carlson

We’d like to report that the earth’s ideological axis just went wobbly after a shocking tirade by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey against CNN.

Dorsey has come out of his hidey hole, feeling heat over the offer to buy out Twitter, the micro-blogging social media platform he launched in 2006. Dorsey still sits on the board of directors of Twitter, which tech billionaire Elon Musk — of SpaceX and Tesla fame — has offered to buy for $43 billion, a 20% share price premium.

Dorsey tweeted that the board is the most dysfunctional part of Twitter.

it’s consistently been the dysfunction of the company

The shaggy oligarch admitted he couldn’t say much more about his company, but he sure had some tea to spill over his low opinion of struggling cable news outfit CNN.

BREAKING REPORT: Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey on Monday accused CNN of CREATING “CONFLICT” during the Ferguson, Missouri riots so that the cable news network could film it..

— Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) April 19, 2022

Dorsey lobbed the accusation to CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, claiming that his network stirred up racial violence in Ferguson, Mo., after Michael Brown was shot while attacking a police officer. Brown’s death touched off violent riots, looting, and arson in the city for days in 2014. Dorsey said the network tried “to create conflict” in order to cover it.

Dorsey made the accusation in reply to Stelter’s amplification of a Washington Post hit piece on Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Stelter tweeted, “Tucker Carlson is always selling the same thing, [Philip Bump] says: ‘He’s selling doubt.'” Dorsey snarkily replied, “and you all are selling hope?”

and you all are selling hope?

Don’t be fooled. Dorsey is a Rat who is trying to get on the right side of the globalist algorithms he deployed in the elections of 2016 and 2020.

He called out the leftist media, but he did not defend Tucker.

Carlson has not yet gone down the road that O’riley and Savage did. I’m talking egotists that are all out for themselves. It could still happen. I wait for him to take a position on an issue we disagree on just to raise our eyebrows. McCain was another calling for ground troops immediately after 911 while Savage wanted to bomb. As I recall Rumsfeld was working on it pretty well but the attention getters wanted their say more.

Will Carlson go down that road?

Plus Dorsey would definitely benefit from a sweet tender offer.

Not surprising that the board and founder blame each other.

How can you even compare Tucker to McCain or Savage?
Do you even listen to Tucker at all?
Your post doesn’t make too much sense.

This makes sense. Dorsey is on the Twitter Board of Directors who ALL may be about to be sued INDIVIDUALLY for breach of fiduciary duty to shareholders for refusing Elon Musk’s offer.

Dorsey is probably trying to keep from losing his own fortune in these anticipated lawsuits.

Come on pal. Tucker’s in the same time slot O’riely was. McCain(+Linda) are publicity whores. Savage the same. At this point Carlsen is getting his message out effectively without the me-isms. I enjoyed him taking on Jon Bolton and exposing him.

The issue is the one-hour show. He only needs 30 minutes. The rest is too often filled with made-up issues.

So what?
What's that got to do with anything?

McCain(+Linda) are publicity whores. Savage the same.

And?

At this point Carlsen is getting his message out effectively without the me-isms.

That's why he is # 1 in all of cable.

The issue is the one-hour show. He only needs 30 minutes. The rest is too often filled with made-up issues.

Is that why he has super high ratings?
You are going to need to get over yourself.
