Good. Musk was right to suspend these accounts. I\u2019m glad it happened, and I hope it keeps happening.<\/p>\n<p>And I say that as someone whose Twitter account\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/30\/twitter-locked-my-account-for-telling-the-truth-about-rachel-levine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has been locked since March<\/a>\u00a0simply for saying Rachel Levine is a man. I have no illusions that Musk is some savior for conservatives, or that under his watch Twitter will become a haven for free speech. But I do think it\u2019s about time the leftist corporate media got a taste of their own medicine, in part so their hypocrisy, mendacity, and craven power-grubbing can be exposed to a watching world.<\/p>\n<p>And boy are they obliging. On Friday morning, nearly every corporate media outlet lead with breathless stories (\u201cunprecedented,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/12\/16\/twitter-journalist-suspensions-media-elon-musk?utm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=editorial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axios called it<\/a>) lamenting that Musk was attacking \u201cjournalists who have criticized him,\u201d and pretending that what they were engaged in didn\u2019t count as doxxing \u2014 as if this is about freedom of the press and not ensuring the safety of Musk\u2019s family, or anyone else who might be targeted in real life by radical left-wing ideologues.<\/p>\n<p>And make no mistake, that\u2019s exactly what these suspended \u201cjournalists\u201d are \u2014 their ranks include former Vox journalist Aaron Rupar, CNN reporter Donie O\u2019Sullivan, New York Times reporter Ryan Mac, Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell, The Intercept\u2019s Micah Lee, and the absolutely ridiculous clown Keith Olbermann.<\/p>\n<p>But being a member of the corporate media doesn\u2019t give you a special privilege to target people. As Musk said to a group of journalists in a Twitter Spaces chat he crashed on Thursday night, \u201cYou\u2019re not special because you\u2019re a journalist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wVA9Gb5MVJ\">pic.twitter.com\/wVA9Gb5MVJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bradley Eversley (@ForeverEversley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForeverEversley\/status\/1603612770892918784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 16, 2022<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>There can be only one reason to promote or retweet real-time location information about a person or their family: You hope something bad happens to them. You hope someone acts on it. In this case, these reporters were amplifying a Twitter account that was posting location data about Musk\u2019s private jet, and doing so on the heels of a disturbing incident in Los Angeles involving a stalker\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1603190155107794944?s=20&#038;t=7qx43FLLj-_domFGLMZIxQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">targeting a car that was carrying Musk\u2019s toddler son<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the media elite who for years absurdly claimed that \u201cspeech is violence\u201d actually engaged in the promotion of violence and got caught doing it \u2014 and we\u2019re supposed to feel bad for them? I don\u2019t think so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Media leftists who for years have demanded online censorship of conservatives, don\u2019t care\u00a0<em>at all<\/em>\u00a0about free speech, and in fact actively work to quash it however they can are suddenly alarmed at Musk silencing their own?<\/p>\n<p>To quote Sen.
