First of all, Judd Legum is doing himself absolutely no favors by defending David Hogg, who is always wrong. As Biden would say, “You think I’m joking,” but no, Hogg is always wrong. Spectacularly so. And now on Twitter 2.0, people like Hogg (and Legum) are getting tagged with “Community Notes” which add context the reader might like to know.
.@davidhogg111 has the right to express his opinion about the second amendment without @CommunityNotes attaching commentary.
Hogg is not disputing the Supreme Court has recognized an individual right to bear arms. He’s saying the Supreme Court is wrong. pic.twitter.com/QrL96CXG52

We thought Twitter was a private company that could do what it wanted. We’re not sure where Hogg’s “right” not to have Community Notes appended to his tweets comes from.
Why has @CommunityNotes turned into a slightly more polite version of the NRA. It’s supposed to be reserved for MISLEADING tweets. Hogg’s tweet is not misleading. https://t.co/XEYAn52YM9

I’ve had my own ACCURATE reporting on classroom libraries in Florida targeted by a @CommunityNotes
Musk has said he has taken steps to ensure @CommunityNotes does not have a left-wing bias
He has certainly achieved that https://t.co/RarnDExwF0

"Targeted." Translation: Debunked.

There’s nothing more convincing than someone calling their own reporting accurate.

You’re a propagandist angry that another propagandist got fact checked.

Your reporting is filtered via your bias so, yes, it needs context added.

Lol. So you acknowledge that not having a leftwing bias lead you to this sad point in your existence in which you publicly shat yourself weeping into your phone.

Shouldn’t Legum and Hogg just move to Mastodon with everyone else? Twitter’s obviously too tough on them.
