Yesterday we told you how Twitter founder Jack Dorsey leveled some pretty mild criticism at CNN and journos in general, which caused a bit of a meltdown.
ICYMI, here’s that post again:
Jack Dorsey’s question for CNN’s Brian Stelter & WaPo’s Philip Bump won’t (and CAN’T) be answered honestly https://t.co/PdJcmtP6da

But we need to be clear about one thing. Jack IS NOT the hero all of a sudden because of one reply to Brian Stelter.
Here’s Grabien founder Tom Eliot with the reality check:
— Funding Ibram Kendi
— Censoring Hunter reporting
— 1st to kick Trump off a social network
— Mass purging millions of conservative accounts
— Naming a far-left activist as his successor
— Voting for the anti-Elon poison pill
Don’t let @Jack pose as a good guy. His record:
— Funding Ibram Kendi
— Censoring Hunter reporting
— 1st to kick Trump off a social network
— Mass purging millions of conservative accounts
— Naming a far-left activist as his successor
— Voting for the anti-Elon poison pill https://t.co/qjHwMEMrHz— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) April 19, 2022
Oh, and then Jack went out and admitted that he’s been sitting on a story that CNN purposefully created content and then filmed it during the Ferguson riots.
A story in three tweets:
They're selling truth, which is hope-agnostic. It's supposed to inform you, not make you feel some kind of way.

even @CNN sometimes sell false news. I know this from covering Iraq events in 2019. People need to understand every media is prone to either mistakes or deliberate corruption. Do your own investigation before believing what they’re selling you.

From eyewitness Jack Dorsey himself:
Oh, and Republicans in the House still have questions on how the Hunter Biden story got censored on Twitter:
This would be a good time for @jack to answer why Twitter suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Jack says to “Check YouTube” for his answer:
I’ve already answered that 2-3 times in front of congress. Check YouTube.

Back then, he called it a “total mistake” but never explained how a total mistake of this magnitude could’ve been made in the first place:
Jack Dorsey says blocking Post's Hunter Biden story was 'total mistake' — but won't say who made it https://t.co/4TmgU6Ry3G pic.twitter.com/PPBITrRiob

Anyway, enjoy the GOP majority come January:
Calling it a “total mistake” isn’t an answer @jack.
Why did you do it?
