Andrea Vance is desperate to kill X (formerly Twitter) because the masses are preferring it to her media.
She is right to call out the AI-generated porn and deep fake images. [...]
But it’s also on all the other social media platforms and across the internet. Andrea only hates X.
“Political content on X is not diverse; it is overwhelmingly right-wing. (To be fair, as Twitter, it appeared to skew left.)”
Media didn’t seem to mind Twitter then. Funny that.
“Luxon made his first public statement on the tragic Mount Maunganui landslide on X, then directed journalists to the platform rather than issuing a media statement through the usual channels of email or direct communication.”
Annoyed that people bypass the lying media.
“They also profess to care over these issues – especially Luxon, who wants to restrict social media for under-16s and confiscated schoolkids’ cellphones, and Peters, who hounded Benjamin Doyle out of parliament over half-baked child safety concerns over an Instagram post.”
Confiscated kids’ cellphones? Half-baked? You can see her cognitive dissonance just in that last statement alone.
“Many journalists (your writer included) and media outlets have long since abandoned the platform because of abuse, threats and disinformation.”
Remember – this is the journalist that insulted female MPs she disagreed with the c-word.
“That [Musk’s] tenure at Doge included major cuts to USAID, while allegedly using AI to surveil government workers for hostility to President Trump? That he used his vast wealth to influence US elections, raised an outstretched arm reminiscent of a Nazi salute, and allegedly supported Germany’s far-right AfD, labelled extremist by its intelligence agency?”
Lots of ‘allegeds’ and porkies in that paragraph. [...]
Andrea – we stopped listening – a long time ago. That’s why we’re all here on X.
