Once a respected aggregator of news, the Associated Press decided that journalism's greatest mission is to choose what information you should have and how you should think about it. Even their Stylebook has a far-left bias.
As you know, dear reader, the journalism industry worked diligently to destroy their credibility. Having recognized that they are now loathed, they endeavored to fix the problem - by attacking alternative media as "misinformation". They mocked citizen journalism, bloggers, Fox News, Substack and finally, Twitter under Elon Musk.
Which brings us to this epic Tweet.
Ever wanted to quit Elon Musk's X platform? Here's how you can do it https://t.co/7Rr5GW7sEF

What is this Tweet? Is it desperate plea or wishcasting? We think the best descriptor is "pathetic".
The Tweet is getting its well deserved ratio, so let's tune into the glorious responses already in progress.
First, the ones pointing out the incredible irony.
AP: delete X
