Freedom is Frightening to the Left?

Shortly after we told you that Elon Musk’s deal to purchase Twitter went through, Left-leaning news outlets began a full-fledged meltdown, seemingly at the prospect of conservatives having a voice on the platform again.
For example, MSNBC host Ari Melber is receiving criticism over this following statement:
"If you own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you, you don’t have to explain yourself, you don’t even have to be transparent, you could secretly ban one party’s candidate or all of its candidates, all of its nominees. Or you could just 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?"
Did he forget that the scenario he described literally happened with Donald Trump? The hypocrisy keeps going. CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter doubled down:
"If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually go to that party? Or do you decide to stay home? And that is a question for Twitter users. Some Twitter users might love the idea there’s going to be absolutely no moderation and no rules at all. Others might not want to be anywhere near that."
The freedom party is the party that Americans are interested in, and Elon Musk realized that. ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell explained the hypocrisy of these news outlets:
"What I said on Twitter was happy birthday to Ari Melber, who seems to have been born yesterday, because he’s been living under a rock. He’s complaining that Elon Musk just may shadowban people that he doesn’t agree with. . . . He is suggesting that somehow Democratic politicians may now be canceled off social media, despite the fact that Charlie Kirk right now is off Twitter – he has been banned from Twitter. You’ve got Donald Trump, who has been off for a long time. Where is the MSNBC crowd? Where have they been living? What have they been reading? Because they clearly have not been reading anything outside of their newsrooms. For Ari Melber to go off and suggest that Elon Musk may do this and miss the fact that Jack Dorsey has been doing this is the height of the problem of Washington, D.C."
