Seemed clear from the start this was the US goal for its involvement in the war in Ukraine. Seems clearer each day the US role deepens. Many other side benefits - a huge boon to weapons manufacturers - but weakening Russia is the goal. Sadly, Ukraine's destruction is the price. https://t.co/jpJsfS6TGv — PolitiTweet.org

@Viniaquinof Ele trabalha para a NBC News, uma das corporações de mídia mais ricas e poderosas do planeta. É incrível e triste que eles tenham propagandeado tantas pessoas da esquerda para acreditar que essas corporações gigantescas de propriedade de bilionários estão lutando por você. — PolitiTweet.org

Hi, I work at CNN, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, and I'm really worried about billionaire control of media. Hi, I liked the way things were before: with Soros, Omidyar, Google and Zuckerberg running everything - not a billionaire! This was in the Bezos-owned WP 2 weeks ago! https://t.co/rrVopnFeva — PolitiTweet.org

There are so many amusing aspects to the utter panic and meltdown of corporate media employees at the prospect of Musk's control of Twitter. Perhaps the funniest are ones who work at huge corporations owned by Bezos other billionaires are lamenting billionaire control of media. — PolitiTweet.org

@KFILE We must have different media timelines because the overwhelming view of corporate journalists I've seen is utter panic, indignation and horror at the prospect that Musk will take over Twitter and loosen the censorship regime. Can provide examples all day: https://t.co/dqEy57O3Qw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm not really sure how or why it happened -- and at some point it should be studied with the perspective of some temporal distance - but the neediest, most ardent, and most passionate censorship crusaders are the tattletale-employees of media corporations like this: — PolitiTweet.org

If this happens even to a small extent - if he is serious about following through and able -- it will be one of the best and most important developments in US/Western political discourse in some time. Expect a massive backlash from numerous power centers, which need censorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KFILE Have you really not seen widespread media panic over this possibility? I could show you them all day. https://t.co/hXoSyFxpeC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Corporate journalists deeply upset at the possibility of a mild return of free speech values to Twitter could always just build their own social media alternative that offers more censorship. Nothing is stopping them. — PolitiTweet.org

@generanalyst You have no fucking clue what you're talking about nor should you, since the private, consensual lives of adults you don't know is none of your fucking business. That both people can tell you that you're wrong about our lives, and for you to insist you know best, is insane. — PolitiTweet.org

@generanalyst Yes, we have a loving relationship that has produced beautiful things: our children, our dog shelter, our careers and so much more. We're more in love with each other than ever and it leaves a lot of loveless and unhappy people needing to malign it: https://t.co/hcRBMJxNxd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@generanalyst You're talking about my husband of 17 years, the 37-year-old federal Congressman raising 3 children with me? He was an adult who turned 20 two months after we met, and has made clear what he thinks of people like you trying to turn him into a dupe/victim: https://t.co/gcbHBDE3ve — PolitiTweet.org

How will we survive and function if social media is controlled by someone who won't submit to our demands and pressure to censor the views and people we dislike, especially those who are stealing our audience???😱😱 - Every neurotic corporate newsroom reacting to today's news. https://t.co/3dC3GM8gFU — PolitiTweet.org

There are very few places where you will find bigotry more overt and hateful than when the liberal-left speaks about members of minority and marginalized groups they think they own and should control, yet who refuse to submit to their decreed orthodoxies: https://t.co/R5HdGHgLlU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The US liberal-left keeps pretending they find it so horrifying that long-standing anti-gay tropes of "pedophile" and "groomer" are used against LGBTs. Yet I've had conflict with almost every political faction in multiple countries at some point; nobody wields it more than they: — PolitiTweet.org

Before everyone pens all their petulant, alarmist screeds on the dangers of billionaires controlling how news/information is disseminated, acknowledge the indisputable premise: billionaires control that *now.* The question: do you want them censoring it or allowing free thought? — PolitiTweet.org

**If** @ElonMusk a) succeeds in taking over Twitter and b) liberates this platform from the regime of censorship that has been imposed, it will be one of the most important - and positive - developments in a good while. On Fox Sunday I explained on why: https://t.co/VhAGPGfPOs — PolitiTweet.org

See Chomsky's response when a BBC interviewer denied anyone tells him what to say or makes him say things he doesn't believe: 👇 I heard this weekend from an on-air personality of an outlet I harshly criticize, insisting they try to tell the truth. In their minds, they do. But: https://t.co/CKlYI1iU1M — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Notably, Pogue's summary of Curtis Yarvin's views on how corporate media works is so similar to Chomsky's: employees of media corporations believe they're doing their best or whatever, but that system only accepts and rewards those who are True Believers in Establishment pieties: https://t.co/wQPfRHlTWR — PolitiTweet.org
