The same leftists who claimed social media isn’t censoring conservatives are melting down over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter. Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion dollars last week and the left is not taking it well. Musk has stated that he believes ‘free speech’ on social media should match the law of the country.“I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law,” Musk said.The Biden Regime is so frightened over Musk’s decision to buy Twitter that they responded by creating an Orwellian, unconstitutional “Ministry of Truth.”Twitter censored the Hunter Biden laptop story shortly before the 2020 election so Joe Biden is working overtime to make sure

The leftists have done such a fine job. We’re heading for WWlll and they still can’t get over President Trump winning 6 yrs ago. They are just so afraid of free speech. Btw- everyone knows President Trump won in 2020 also. Get over yourselves and start being a good role model- act like adults and put the country first.

So we should let CNN and the WH control the discourse? Don't think so.

"You Cannot Let These Guys Control Discourse"
Translation: with free speech we are screwed.
We're not supposed to hafta fight for free speech.
It's not supposed to cost somebody $44 billion to give us free speech.

I see the new CEO of CNN is not cleaning house fast enough. It's time to turn that news media around and fire all of them. I see Elon Musk is the new Donald Trump.

Another perfect example of why I do not associate with leftists. Twisted lies and projection are their stock in trade.

The correct response: Now that you've shown us what life is like when Democrats control all discourse, even hell would be an improvement.

Free speech to democrats is what Holy Water is to vampires. Democrats need to have the speech they do not wish to hear censored or regulated. This is an important issue for the country. In fact, it may be the most important issue of our lifetime. It is the foundation upon which the rest of our rights are built. Let leftists wail and gnash their teeth. It is a beautiful thing to watch.
The problem we have today is that leftists cannot tune out what they don’t want to hear while the rest of us have been tuning out the crazy speech that has been ongoing for centuries. In fact, I remember distinctly being taught in high school about how it is so important to allow everyone to have a voice especially those voices you disagree with. I truly did not realize how much my education has formed my thoughts, opinions and beliefs until now. When the left screams and cries about free speech, it becomes clear that they have never been taught the importance of free speech is in a free society. We can look back on the educational system in this country and know exactly when everything started going wanky. It’s when liberal ideology was inserted in the classroom. Now it has become the norm and we are spitting out good little communists who do not know the truth.

When the jig is up, they know what happened to Mussolini. What they have done to the people of this nation will not be quietly forgiven and forgotten, and they know it.

He rants, but he has a good point. No platform can have totally free speech or they would get all kinds of toxic BS coming on there, like race supremacists, racists, and other people who bait and harass minorities, women, and anyone else not like them. It would be better if the government established standards, like they do in the FCC, than it would to expect these companies to control speech themselves. Elon Musk is right. He should let all the speech that's legal on Twitter, but legal speech needs to be within reason.

I'm of the opinion that everything should be free speech...if you don't agree, or don't believe, just don't pay any attention to it..there will always be nay sayers out there, so just carry on....sort of like guns, if you don't like them don't buy one, or EV's, if you think the whole thing is a scam, don't buy one, or CNN,ABC.CBS or whoever are lying desperate scoundrels, don't listen to them...people should be free to speak their minds, and people should be free to not listen...

Trump indeed opened the gates of hell for Democrats by forcing them to expose themselves for who they really are.

Typical demonrat projection - accuse Musk of doing exactly what they have been doing for decades when he is actually doing just the opposite.

FTA: “You Cannot Let These Guys Control Discourse in This Country Or We Are Headed to Hell”
This statement by a CNN Analyst is extremely ironic. We cannot let CNN and the rest of the MSM control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell.

The turnaround that CNN executives wanted like reporting news didn't mean a live leftist rant against freedom of speech for 'everyone'. Nothing has changed at CNN as long as Potato Head Stelter is still there.

NOBODY should be able to "control discourse" in a free society! Free speech is just that, FREE speech. Anyone, EVERYONE(!) should be free to put their ideas and opinions, no matter how unpopular or offensive, out into the marketplace of ideas to be evaluated, accepted or rejected by a free people.
“If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”
If you disagree with this, you are a tyrant. Period. Full stop.

Zurawik typifies the typical lefty who has chronic TDS. The still shot of him in the article is fitting and portrays him as a crazy demented fool. Zurawik, so what's stopping you from continuing to use tweeter now that Elon owns the platform?

I am glad to hear that this leftist believes in hell.
However, you don't have to believe in it to go there.

Simple Fix for Big Tech including Twitter.
"For an interactive computer service to maintain liability protections granted under 230 (c) (2),

Well, let me see. Guess what ... you ( the libs) controlled and caused the discourse for a while and we are in hell. News flash- free speech is not discourse. Without their brand of censorship, I guess the liberals will have to start dealing with facts and not with emotion. A very unnerving place to be for a liberal. They fear free speech.

“You Cannot Let These Guys Control Discourse." Those people are either in denial or just plain ignorant if they think discourse is not already controlled; or, they could just be lying. The whole idea of Elon buying Twitter to create an outlet for open, free discourse.

While it could have been prevented, sadly, most are already headed for Hell and none of it was Musk's fault. Where did you or your folks stand on ''Prayer in School?'' Or on opening bars but closing churches and schools during COVID-19? ''The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” ― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

So sorry to tell you Davie but you guys at CNN, other fake news media organizations along with your political allies have been heading to hell in a tinny tiny handbasket for decades. You guys really started down the "Highway to Hell" (thanks AC/DC) back when President Donald John Trump (PDJT) took over. So all of you clowns can POAD as far as I'm concerned.

Hate to be reduced to quoting a Democrat... (but from when some were still pro-American at least)....
Harry S. Truman had a comment, often misquoted something like, "I don't give them Hell. I just give them the truth and
they think it is Hell."
