Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: From limbs of TikTok. This is just incredible. Brian Stelter
- 0:07Speaker 1: is attacking Elon and Zuckerberg for committing to free speech.
- 0:12Speaker 1: He says Zuckerberg's announcement is a mega makeover and will
- 0:16Speaker 1: turn away liberals. So what he's moving towards is what
- 0:20Speaker 1: Elon talked about when he took over X. I know
- 0:22Speaker 1: it's not been perfect, it's certainly much much better, a
- 0:26Speaker 1: different universe of better for free speech on X since
- 0:29Speaker 1: Elon took over. So what he's obviously talking about is
- 0:31Speaker 1: you knows. Zuckerberg is moving meta towards legal speech being okay,
- 0:38Speaker 1: which is what Musk talked about. He says, legal speech
- 0:40Speaker 1: is not going to get banned right, which is obviously
- 0:45Speaker 1: a big problem for platforms like CNN right now. They
- 0:49Speaker 1: get so angry because they want to control the narrative,
- 0:51Speaker 1: like they want to be the ones doling out the
- 0:54Speaker 1: misinformation right and actual information, accurate description of reality. Tends
- 1:01Speaker 1: to show them up a little bit, tends to expose
- 1:04Speaker 1: there the fact that they're nothing more than a narrative machine,
- 1:08Speaker 1: totally unconcerned with objectivity and truth. So of course they're
- 1:12Speaker 1: going to fight it forever let's take a look.
- 1:15Speaker 2: It gets in this broader sense that when people like
- 1:17Speaker 2: zucker Elon Musk or mar Zuckerberg talk about free speech.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Everybody wants free speech, but it oftentimes seems that these Texans.
- 1:25Speaker 1: But you don't. Oh, we know you don't, cause you
- 1:28Speaker 1: guys are constantly complaining about free speech. Right, you're constantly
- 1:33Speaker 1: trying to manipulate the public by calling accurate descriptions of
- 1:37Speaker 1: reality misinformation. We know this. Let's continue, CEOs.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Actually you're favoring or preferring a certain kind of speech, right,
- 1:46Speaker 2: They're favoring their own speech or their own political preferences
- 1:50Speaker 2: and not the actual entire user or the community's speech.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Is he talking about CNN? There is that what he saw?
- 1:58Speaker 1: It sounds like he's talking about see it ed or
- 2:00Speaker 1: MSNBC or the legacy media in general. Weird.
- 2:04Speaker 2: You know, the changes announced by Meta today are very
- 2:07Speaker 2: much a MAGA makeover, a pro Trump makeover, and that's
- 2:10Speaker 2: gonna win medicine conservative users, but it may repel some liberals.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Why not say it's like a First Amendment makeover, because
- 2:17Speaker 1: that's what it actually is. He's talking about not banning
- 2:21Speaker 1: things in the public square that deserve to be discussed right,
- 2:26Speaker 1: normal things like discussions on immigration, for instance, things that
- 2:32Speaker 1: you know, conversations that obviously have a place in belonging
- 2:35Speaker 1: in the public square. Why not say a First Amendment makeover? Well,
- 2:40Speaker 1: we know why, because they don't want free speech. They
- 2:42Speaker 1: don't like the First Amendment right. They want to be
- 2:45Speaker 1: the voice, they want to push the narrative. They don't
- 2:48Speaker 1: care about objectivity, they don't care about truth. They care
- 2:51Speaker 1: about their job, which is manipulation, and they don't like
- 2:55Speaker 1: that job being challenged.
- 2:57Speaker 2: That's the same thing we've seen happen on El Musk's X.
- 3:01Speaker 2: He's turned into more of a right wing platform where
- 3:03Speaker 2: he's pro free speech.
- 3:05Speaker 1: When more of a right wing platform. Let's see, last
- 3:07Speaker 1: time I checked, there was forty eight percent Democrats on
- 3:10Speaker 1: there and forty seven percent Republicans on there in the
- 3:13Speaker 1: United States. Okay, does Stelterer not know that? I'm willing
- 3:17Speaker 1: to bet that he does. But again, you know, we
- 3:20Speaker 1: were talking about that whole manipulation thing, narrative thing that
- 3:23Speaker 1: they do, you know, instead of like reporting objective truth
- 3:28Speaker 1: and accurate descriptions of reality.
- 3:30Speaker 2: It's really pro Musk or pro Trump speech.
- 3:34Speaker 3: All right, Brian Stelter, Thanks as always, and you mentioned
- 3:37Speaker 3: those changes over at Meta. That is me fascinating to
- 3:40Speaker 3: watch moving forward because obviously Facebook and Instagram places like
- 3:44Speaker 3: that have also been accused of being super spreaders of
- 3:47Speaker 3: disinformation misinformation. We'll keep our eyes on that.
- 3:50Speaker 1: It gets It's amazing they hired back. I mean, how
- 3:52Speaker 1: hilarious is it that CNN re hired Brian Stelter, the
- 3:57Speaker 1: narrative potato Brian Stealth. They re hired him again after
- 4:03Speaker 1: firing him, re hired him. I mean, that was just
- 4:06Speaker 1: a confession to the world that actually, yeah, no, we
- 4:10Speaker 1: are just gonna keep doing what we always did. They
- 4:12Speaker 1: were not interested in actually being an actual deuce channel.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Now we're just gonna do We're gonna do misinformation potato again. Anyway.
- 4:22Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and subscribe. Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you
- 4:28Speaker 1: for that. I will see you next time.
