.Twitter and Facebook have operated for years in the manner AriMelber described, but he didn't notice because they were part of his team, writes ZacharyFaria. 'Now, Musk buying Twitter is a five-alarm fire.'
“You could secretly ban one party’s candidate…secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else and the rest of us might not even find out about it until AFTER the election.”— Mary Margaret Olohan April 26, 2022 “You own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you, you don’t have to explain yourself,” Melber said. “You don’t even have to be transparent. You could secretly ban one party’s candidates or all of its candidates, all of its nominees.
Melber, like every other panic pundit on MSNBC and other liberal networks, is deeply concerned that Elon Musk will turn Twitter into the monster he just described. But to be more precise, he is concerned that Twitter will become the conservative version of it. He seems unaware that Twitter and Facebook have already been operating this way on behalf of liberals for years.
Twitter and Facebook suppressed a politically damaging story about candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter right before the 2020 election, even locking the New York Post out of its account for weeks over a story that turned out to be completely accurate. Twitter erroneously claimed the story contained “hacked materials” and that those were banned from the site. Yet Twitter was happy to promote stories with hacked materials when it served the political goals of liberals.
