A BBC “journalist” learned something the hard way during an interview with Elon Musk:
One rule of journalism, esp in a contentious interview: never ask a question that you already don’t know the answer to. https://t.co/fSR2toRkcK

Musk turned the tables on a BBC tech reporter attempting to forward the narrative that “hate” on Twitter has risen since the Tesla founder bought the company:
Interviewer: There’s been a rise in hatful content on Twitter.
Musk: Give me an example.
Interviewer: I can’t.
Musk: You just lied. pic.twitter.com/WnYeQV00XD

OOF.
BBC ‘journalism’ at its finest 🤦🏻♂️
BBC Journo: “There’s been a rise in hatful content on Twitter.”@elonmusk: “Give me an example.”
Journo: “I can’t.”
Musk: “You just lied.” pic.twitter.com/wOfzn5vGfJ— Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) April 12, 2023
The reporter went from “there’s an increase in hate on Twitter” to “actually it’s been a while since I’ve been on Twitter” in record time, and that was deeply awkward to watch.
This is absolute gold. @elonmusk does not back down from these leftists when using generalizations to demean and attack others. https://t.co/tDRBUsBTg1

More of this approach to “journalists” please!
They won't give specific examples of "hateful" content because it's usually just opinions, jokes, and even factual statements they don't like. They'd look like idiots if they got specific. This is why they speak in general terms about a rise in hate. What they really mean is that… https://t.co/c3t0XiBZHJ

Once one understands that establishment journalists are among the most vapid, conformist, buffoonish group of people in any profession, it all starts to make sense https://t.co/wkYMO5FnyT

Bingo.
This is hard to watch. So many lies told by the Woke left. This guy caught with his pants down. https://t.co/D2yTwHeHez

It’s another banner month for “journalism.”
