John Nolte rips the lid off.
Nolte: The *Real* Reason the Far-Left Guardian Quit Xwitter
The Guardian claims it has 80 Xwitter accounts with about 27 million followers and its stated reasons for exiting are exactly what you would expect from the Frank Burns Left — dishonest, smug, superior, scolding…I’ll allow the Guardian to have its full say, and then I’ll tell you the real reason why the Guardian is fleeing the arena:
The Guardian said content on the platform about which it had longstanding concerns included far-right conspiracy theories and racism. It added that the site’s coverage of the US presidential election had crystallised its decision.
“This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism,” it said.
It added: “The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”
Yeah, no…
Take a moment to read the replies in the Guardian’s xweets. Sure, you might find some “toxicity” in there, but read the overall replies in these – three – xweets and you will see the real reason for the Guardian forfeiting its voice in the public square. If you think I’m cherry-picking xweets to make my point, choose any Guardian xweet and read the replies.
No, better yet, read the replies found in any high-profile, left-wing Xwitter account. Go to Rob Reiner, Stephen King, Jake Tapper, Elizabeth Warren, Joy Reid, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Atlantic, NPR, etc., and you will see for yourself what I’m about to point out…

Heh. Appears so, yeah. Fuggin’ little crybaby queefs. Nice to learn we’ve settled on “Xwitter” and “Xweets” though, finally. I’ve been pretty much at sea on that minor quandary up till now, it was getting to be somewhat problematic, if only for me and nobody else. New category for posts of this nature, it looks as if I’m gonna be needing one henceforth. Check the list below and see if you can guess what it might be. A-HEHN!
