so what dictators, strongman and demo because one is control over the people to say whatever they want and challenge their power. that s the way dictators work, isn t right, robert reisch. he s a lifelong leftist. you can imagine the robert ration of 1970 when he was a college applicant would be a little bit surprised to see the robert ration of nearly 80 calling for a total crackdown on the opinions of ordinary people. people get power and they change. that doesn t make any sense as an argument you can see why they stick to called elon musk a racist on cable news. stick to the same old script and that s what they are doing at cnn of course. watch. i think in some ways it s a good thing that elon musk is tweeting, livening up twitter and making it more entertaining. he is a funny guy. but there are serious questions behind what happens next. as he pushed for a full acquisition? we don t know. some of the memes he posts on twitter, anti-trans memes,
memes, trolls. elon musk uses twitter i think if you had to pick someone who uses twitter in the style of trump, elon musk would be the guy. kara, what do you make of dean s message to the newsroom saying report more and tweet less. he can do whatever he wants. i m not an employee of the new york times just so you know. i know. i don t know, i guess he is the editor, he can say whatever he wants. is that a smart strategy for news rooms, for journalists do they use twitter too much? people are on twitter a little much, like oliver and myself and claire, i don t know if claire is quite as addicted as we are and, you, brian, should get off of twitter a little bit more. i guess. i don t know. i m not an editor and there is a reason i m not an editor because i would say tweet all you want, whatever you want. he s head of the newsroom. i think the idea is are they embarrassing themselves in some way if they re beat reporters. these are good questions that news organizations sho
