Nothing says don’t hate the player, hate the game quite like Bill Maher’s politics.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s mission to reinstate free speech on Twitter is drawing criticism from the political left, but the Real Time host is going against his party’s perspective, yet again, and calling the Musk-Twitter association a step in the right direction.
Taking questions from viewers on YouTube for his Overtime segment , Maher and two of his guests were asked about the good or bad news that comes with Musk recently becoming Twitter’s largest shareholder (9.2 percent) and what his inclusion means for the company’s standing regime.
“What’s the panel’s thoughts on Elon Musk becoming Twitter’s single-largest shareholder,” Maher was asked, alongside author Nancy MacLean and New York Times writer David Leonhardt.
“We’re not living in 1980 anymore,” Maher said. “This is a different world we live in where social media controls this.
“We live in a different age where Twitter is the public square now. If you deny someone’s right to speak on Twitter, you’re basically saying you don’t have free speech rights,” he added, backing Musk’s past complaints aimed at Twitter’s restriction on speech.
Maher’s guests weren’t fully sold on Musk’s cavalier attitude toward changing Twitter. Maher argued that only the wealthiest man on earth could shake up the restriction on free speech and opposing views that Twitter has committed.
“[T]hey banned you talking about whether coronavirus came from a lab,” Maher contested, “and it may well have.“And even the Biden administration admits that now. We don’t know where coronavirus came from, but there’s no reason to think it couldn’t have emerged from a lab. They have a lab in Wuhan that was studying coronavirus. And you couldn’t even discuss this! I mean, that’s outrageous.”Though independents and conservatives frequently agree with Maher’s assessments of America’s current social climate, a […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
