Leftists Meltdown After New York Times Loses Its Twitter Blue Tick
Oh no, how awful.

Published
6 months agoon

After the New York Times lost its blue checkmark on Twitter, some leftists proceeded to have meltdowns, while others coped by suggesting the NYT looked ‘better’ without it.
Twitter announced last month that legacy checkmarks would no longer be maintained unless companies and individuals signed up for Twitter Blue.
While the fee is $8 a month for individuals, news outlets have to pay $1,000 a month, something the NYT refused to do.

The New York Times’ @nytimes account duly lost its checkmark on Saturday, with Elon Musk declaring that its feed had become “unreadable propaganda” anyway.

The NY Times losing its blue tick means tweets will no longer show up in the “for you” tab, meaning its followers will have to go direct to the account to read tweets.
This apparent war crime has enraged leftists on Twitter, who are acting like Musk personally shut down the newspaper.
“Elon Musk should step down and sell this app,” tweeted PoliticsVerse. “Today, he stripped New York Times, an account with nearly 55M followers of its verified badge, and decided to boost Catturd2 by giving him a legacy check mark.”
“The bias is unreal and we are living in dangerous times where the owner of this platform controls a social media app with political bias.”

Yes, after everything that’s happened with social media bias up until Elon Musk purchased Twitter last year, only now does it become important because some pixels next to the words ‘New York Times’ disappeared.
Others were mad that a Twitter user called CatTurd was verified and the NY Times wasn’t.

Other leftists invented the cope that the NY Times looked ‘better’ without the blue checkmark anyway.

Some claimed the whole thing was a conspiracy to prevent the NY Times’ reporting on Trump’s ‘arrest’ from reaching a wider audience.
Let’s just sit with this for a few days watch it start to bubble up especially given tomorrow is such a big day. How can anybody really believe what they’re reading in the New York Times tomorrow on such a historic day without that checkmark how coincidentally convenient

Apparently, some mainstream journos are planning to commit blue checkmark hari-kari in solidarity.
my two former employers the New York Times & the Washington Post have said they wont pay for Twitter’s blue checkmark.
I will follow the suit.

Others made fun of the whole situation, with some pretending to be the NY Times (perhaps in an effort to create a new controversy around ‘impersonation’, which could mean the newspaper gets it blue tick back again).
Woo hoo! Now that the NY Times has lost their verification badge, I AM THE NEW YORK TIMES
— The New York Times (@thatbilloakley) April 3, 2023
REMINDER: The New York Times lost its verification badge so now I am the New York Times at least until I get banned
— The New York Times (@thatbilloakley) April 3, 2023
One Twitter user expressed the sentiment of many by simply suggesting the NY Times cough up and pay the subscription fee like everyone else.
If I have to pay for my badge, so do rich leftist celebrities and the New York Times

“Don’t Be Intimidated” By The Censors – Tucker Carlson Urges Americans To Fight Back By ‘Telling The Truth’
Published

25 September, 2023Zero Hedge

In a brief clip of him speaking in Utica, MI, Tucker Carlson expresses his deep concern over widespread acceptance of dishonesty in public life, lamenting, “what’s true? The true things are the things that you can’t say.”
The former Fox News man rages at the lack of penalties for public figures who lie or display incompetence; contrasting this with the societal backlash against those who aim to speak their own truths, suggesting that in today’s society, “the only penalty is for noting what’s true.”
“Every society penalizes something…” In America, “it’s telling the truth.”
Drawing a parallel with foreign (banana republic) governments, Carlson recounts a recent experience in Buenos Aires that exposed the government’s dishonesty about the Argentine peso’s exchange rate. He emphasizes, “so the government lies about the value of its own currencies,” reflecting on the economic lies and falsehoods and manipulations (think non-farm payrolls jobs data revised lower every month this year for instance) of the US government.
Further into the speech, he points out the pattern of backlash he believes truth-tellers face, noting, “first they’ll tell you you’re hurting someone’s feelings… then they call you insane… the third thing they do is just criminalize telling the truth.”
He raises concerns about the role of significant U.S. institutions like the FBI and CIA, alleging they are partisan, and mentions, “when federal employees… take an aggressive position on the side of one political party, you can’t have a fair election.”
Lastly, he touches upon the 2020 U.S. presidential election, suggesting potential irregularities and fraud, blasting tech oligarchs’ influence in silencing the truth-sayers.
“If some oligarchs… spent nearly half a billion dollars to control the mechanics of the Bolivian election in 2020, we would say it’s not a legitimate election.”
Tucker closes by encouraging Americans to stand up against the censors: “don’t let them,” he exclaims, urging listeners“don’t be intimidated, your children’s future depends on your bravery.”

Netanyahu Tells Musk He Hopes He Can Work Within The ‘Confines’ of the First Amendment to ‘Stop Anti-Semitism’ on Twitter
Musk responded by saying he’s “against attacking any group, doesn’t matter who it is.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s met with Twitter/X owner Elon Musk on Monday as part of a public discussion on the dangers of artificial intelligence.
The Washington Post reported last week the meeting was going to be to discuss “anti-Semitism on X,” whereas Musk said it was going to be about AI.
Though it was mostly about AI — which Israel is seeking to take a leading role in — Netanyahu also told Musk he hopes he can work within the “confines” of the First Amendment to “stop anti-Semitism” on X.

Musk responded by saying he’s “against attacking any group, doesn’t matter who it is.”
“Obviously I’m against anti-Semitism, I’m against anti— really anything that promotes hate and conflict,” he added.

As I reported in May, the Biden White House’s first-ever “National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism” — which was developed in concert with pro-Israel groups like the Anti-Defamation League — called on “all online platforms” to ban “extremist websites,” ban “hate speech” and institute “zero tolerance” policies to protect Jews from anti-Semitism.

There’s nothing in the First Amendment about banning the criticism of certain groups or banning the promotion of “hate” and there’s nothing in there about prohibiting “hate speech.”
It was reported last month that X partnered with an Israeli digital ID company to provide premium users with an “optional” way to verify their identity by sharing selfies and their government ID.

Last week, X CEO Linda Yaccarino pledged to expand X’s censorship policies and appears to have banned multiple accounts to please the Center for Countering Digital Hate — which X is actively suing for defamation.
The weird thing about this is X is currently suing the CCDH, but still apparently banning accounts on the basis of their reports. https://t.co/oI9k30Opeo pic.twitter.com/KulfmtRGWS
