For years, New York Times reporters used their “reporting” to encourage social media companies to drive conservatives off of YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook through blacklisting, censorship, hysterical fearmongering over what liberals consider “misinformation,” even attempts to eavesdrop on suspected gatherings of wrong-think. Now, with Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter (now X) and Trump…

Technology columnist/reporter Kevin Roose made Monday’s New York Times with “Business Is Buzzing Again for the Meme Makers of the Left,” thanks to Kamala Harris’s emergence as the all-but-guaranteed Democratic candidate for president. Roose is notorious for his years of stories nudging social media platforms toward anti-conservative censorship. But on Monday he voiced no concerns or…

New York Times tech reporter/columnist Kevin Roose is notorious here at NewsBusters for hailing a gay-Marxist activist who successfully “demonetized” a conservative comedian’s YouTube account, and for nudging social media platforms toward anti-conservative censorship. While Roose surely surprised readers with his reluctant approval of a TikTok ban in his Friday piece, “TikTok Is Its…

Bad news for the media often feels like good news for conservatives. So word that Vice and BuzzFeed are laying off hundreds of journalists, weeks after the complete collapse of The Messenger, won’t elicit much sympathy from the right. Then again, it’s not just conservatives who disapprove of the news business today: Gallup last year found a paltry 32% of Americans say they have “a great deal”…

Laura Paddison, senior climate writer for the CNN Wire newe service, wrote about the “dangerous” threat of social media “wellness influencers” having unapproved opinions about the weather, and like to think for themselves: "A strong thread of individualism runs through wellness accounts, alongside a deep distrust of authorities."

On Tuesday, ousted CNN host Don Lemon announced that he would be attempting to break out of his newfound obscurity and irrelevance with a new show on X (formerly Twitter). The X Business account also said that in addition to Lemon, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), and veteran sports commentator Jim Rome would also be getting shows. But Lemon’s willingness to jump at a new gig on X…

Reacting Thursday morning to Wednesday night’s bombshell Elon Musk interview at The New York Times DealBook Summit, NBC’s Today co-host Hoda Kotb and CNBC’s Squawk Box co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin, The Times columnist who interviewed Musk, described it as an illustration of Musk’s “demonic side” and “version” as Musk blasted corporations who’ve pulled…

On May 2, 2011, American soldiers raided Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and recovered an undated letter to the United States. It was a propagandistic letter calling for endless wars against American imperialism. It circulated on several news sites including The Guardian. On the day Chinese dictator Xi Jinping met with American President Joe Biden in San Francisco, the letter began…

Having already made himself infamous for his pathetic defense of the mentally and physically-impaired Democrat John Fetterman during the latter’s 2022 senatorial campaign, NBCNews.com tech editor Ben Goggin has spent the days and weeks since Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel shilling for the radical Islamists, taking them at their word. This is be no means a complete list, but it…

Since there’s evidently nothing else going on in the world worth commenting on, economist turned partisan hack columnist Paul Krugman is again going after the left's current public enemy No. 1, Elon Musk and his ownership of X (formerly Twitter). Krugman wrote a similar rant in December 2022 about how Twitter was doomed under Musk’s leadership, concluding by pushing his own esteemed presence…

On the newest episode of tax-supported PBS’s notorious left-wing series Frontline, they spent two hours obsessing over Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. Twitter was never this problematic when it was suppressing conservative speech. Now they're forwarding former Twitter censor Yoel Roth's ridiculous denials of the platform's ideological bias before Musk.

Popular pro-free speech Libs of TikTok account said the account has been canceled by another platform.

Biden’s censorship regime can’t catch its breath after being hit with yet another amicus brief from a legal watchdog group fighting for free speech.

Foreign Policy magazine hysterically condemned increased free speech on Twitter under Elon Musk.
