In an interview that BBC reporter James Clayton conducted with Twitter boss Elon Musk on Tuesday in San Francisco/California/USA, the BBC professional was very embarrassed. The reporter took the challenge too lightly and burned his fingers. He just wasn’t prepared for this conversation.

The interview discussed Twitter’s leniency towards “hate speech” on the platform. The reporter accused Musk of the growing number of “hate speech” posts on Twitter. When Elon Musk challenged the reporter to provide at least one example of such an entry, he began to be evasive. He finally admitted he hadn’t seen anything like it himself, but other mainstream magazines wrote about it…

Twitter users put it well in the comments:

Totally destroyed him. It’s the BBC everywhere. Their news and current events are based on claims and assumptions, and then they ask people to talk about that claim with the premise that it is fact.

Reporter Logic: “I couldn’t stand all the hate speech I didn’t see because I couldn’t stand it so much I never really checked my feed.” There’s Lahm and then there’s this guy.

If you look at how information is provided by these media, you can clearly see the pattern. The situation is presented from a chosen angle, unproven claims thrown around and treated as proven because everyone, including our “experts”, says so. Whether it’s a dangerous virus, a climate emergency, a political threat (Donald Trump or parties not dominated by Klaus Schwab), voter rigging, a new kind of food (worms and bugs), more than two genders, child depravity, the strange war in Ukraine and distorted grammar rules. Nonsensical claims are made again and again, repeated again and again, and before long the same media are claiming these invented situations as proven facts.

Added to this is the pseudo-morality of most mainstream journalists and the discrediting of those who think differently. The same media doesn’t care at all that they were wrong about most things that are so “proven” in this way.
