'WTF'? Why hasn't Twitter flagged viral — and 'wildly out of context' — video painting Tucker Carlson as a fan of democratic socialism?

You may have seen this tweet making the rounds since last night. In case you missed it, Cornel West totally converted Tucker Carlson to democratic socialism:

Tucker Carlson finally met Jesus, turns out it was Cornel West the entire time. pic.twitter.com/grNTEKr8os

Cornel West needed only 39 seconds to persuade Tucker Carlson to explicitly embrace democratic socialism. https://t.co/5N3O1HjGfq

Explicitly!

Or … not:

How can @jack and Twitter claim to care about fighting misinformation when Twitter is itself actively spreading misinformation?

1) Tucker Carlson interviewed Cornel West in July 2018, not last night

2) The clip is wildly out of context. See full intv:https://t.co/2w1hZR29Iw pic.twitter.com/D7nusKfYq7

Here’s the interview, posted to YouTube on July 6, 2018:

Gee, it sure doesn’t sound like Tucker Carlson’s a fan of democratic socialism …

This may shock you, but the "New York Socialist" account is misleading in a way that makes socialism look good

We’re definitely shocked.

No "Missing Context" label here?

weird

maybe @Politifact can get to the bottom of it https://t.co/ZoNTflZPqe

WTF @jack? You gonna control your product or what?

Jack’s product is doing just what it’s supposed to, thank you very much.

It's almost as if the rules only apply to certain people
