OK, we don’t know how old this clip is, but regardless, it has to be seen to be believed. Watch as MSNBC’s Ari Melber spells out a terrifying but real dystopia where Elon Musk could use Twitter to interfere in elections: He could turn down the reach of a certain candidate’s tweets or even ban a candidate from the platform.
Wow, welcome to 2020, Melber.
Even before the Twitter Files spelled it all out in emails and internal messages, it was obvious that social media was doing what it could to sway the 2020 election. Donald Trump was banned, you couldn’t share the New York Post’s scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop, and conservatives were being shadow-banned left and right. Right-wing meme makers were banned. It’s almost as if Jack Dorsey had a dial he could just turn up and down to tilt the political bias of Twitter.
Talk about projection:

That is *actually* what they did. Going forward, this platform will be fair & transparent.

The gaslighting from the left is off the charts. They have a special talent for accusing us of all the terrible things they’re guilty of doing.

Indeed, and on MSNBC which itself creates propaganda

Amazing how blind the extreme left is now. Rules for thee, but not for me.

The projection is off the charts.

Imagine a world where Twitter would ban voices from Just one side.. 😉

Yep, they could turn the old dial over to "Conservative Candidate" on us, its a travesty!

The lack of self-awareness is disturbing.

Projection.
Always projection with these propagandists.

Is that a confession? That sounds like something they know about well.

Who would have guessed that @AriMelber knew what Twitter 1.0 was doing to Republicans…
— Andy Stevens 🇺🇸 (@mrandystevens) April 15, 2023
This is literally what Twitter did to conservatives for years.

Sounds like a confession.

“Oh no, now Elon Musk could do the exact same thing that Jack Dorsey did, except for the other side!” Just unbelievable. As we said, it doesn’t matter how old this clip is, it’s still jaw-dropping. There’s an impenetrable bubble around MSNBC. How can they call themselves journalists and have literally no idea of what social media did in 2020?
