In the first Place, Twitter was a left-wing propaganda machine before musk bought it. This is evidence by the fact that folks who posted things that went against left-wing dogma were de-platformed. For example, that the virus was probably a lab leak. That turned out to be almost certainly true, but Twitter was suspending peoples accounts for saying it.
Today, left wingers have just as much access to Twitter as right wingers. Paid content is another matter. CNN is not balanced in its paid content. Why should Musk be?

Me neither. It's not like Musk kicked him off of Twitterx altogether.
But Lemon's still a fraud for using canned cream soups in his etouffee recipe.
Etouffe is supposed to be simple, and feature the crawfish. All you need is crawfish, the holy trinity (onion, bell pepper, celery), garlic, red pepper, butter, flour, stock, and salt and pepper. Serve on rice, top with parsley or green onion.
Anyone using canned soup is just using River Road Recipes.

Thank God for a voice of reason and with a backbone sharing the top of the economic pyramid. Musk for Trump's VP and Musk would at the top of the political pyramid in 4 years, or less.

Just remember: Butter.
Oh, and I guess the real trick is cooking the flour down until thick without over-cooking the crawfish. And it's not a roux as such, just a thickener in this case.

What that commie trash. I remember him during Covid

He said Lemon is free to create content on the platform but Musk isn’t willing to pay him for it. Free speech ain’t free.

I like the idea of a free speech platform.
Let Don have a show and if he can sell enough advertising to keep it going then great if not then Don will walk away.
I don’t like anyone deciding can and cannot be heard.

thats not what happened here though.
Musk and Lemon were discussing a business deal. Lemon couldn't take off his mask long enough to seal the deal.

Besides which, the 1st Amendment is only supposed to limit the government's abridging the freedom of speech, not private entities.

That'll teach you to sober up.

Sounds to me like he just watched the interview playback and wasn't impressed.

So does Musk. Did you not read the whole post?

So CNN owes me a talk show, because "free speech?"
Good grief.

Good grief there are some mental lightweights on this thread.

Call up CNN or MSNBC and demand a your own show. Let us know how it goes.

Surely you're not that dumb. Then again, you did misspell the word "veil."

That was shorter and said the same thing.

Surely those networks uphold free speech and would never decide who does and does not get heard.

I'll take Musk's inconsistencies, such as they mite be, over the left's /Lemon's straightforward propaganda any day of the week. Lemon's resume' has remained the same for as long as he was on CNN. When one has the biden administration as an enemy, as Musk does, that pretty much speaks to who is more "truthful". And, funny, how the words "echo chamber" seem to be consistently a leftist term.
