Here is some front page news that isn’t because it shows corruption by a Democrat Senator aiming his big guns on Elon Musk, who is trying to give Americans their free speech back. Markey worked with The Washington Post to frame Musk and launch an investigation into Twitter.
The Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos competes with Elon Musk in space travel, so they probably loved the idea.
THE STORY
Democrat Senator Ed Markey blamed Elon Musk for allowing a fake account to be set up by a Washington Post blue check reporter.
The reporter said he was testing the verification system by impersonating a comic and Sen. Ed Markey, WITH ED MARKEY’S PERMISSION. Markey and the reporter planned it together.
Yes. Not sure why this isn’t front page news. Huge scandal

After the article was published, Ed Markey went for the jugular, claiming Musk was putting profit over stopping disinformation. He demanded answers in a threatening manner despite knowing about the ruse. He didn’t mention that. He warned Musk that if he didn’t fix it, Congress would fix it for him.
A @washingtonpost reporter was able to create a verified account impersonating me—I’m asking for answers from @elonmusk who is putting profits over people and his debt over stopping disinformation. Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again. pic.twitter.com/R4r7p6mduP

FASCIST MARKEY
“One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree,” Markey raged. “Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.”
Elon Musk joked, “Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?”

Markey doubled-down on sneaky sly dishonesty in that tweet, suggesting only Tesla is involved. It was a GENERAL ORDER. The NHTSA investigation is of all manufacturers with advanced driver assistance systems. That disinformation bolstered his effort to frame Mr. Musk.
It’s very fascist to have government collude with private industry — Markey with The Washington Post — to set up a Beria-style investigation of Elon Musk intended to frame the free speech guy, not stop disinformation or phony Twitter pages.
There were problems with Twitter Blue, in which a blue check on Twitter Blue only means you bought the service. Musk took it down to work out the kinks, but that isn’t what this was about. This was a trap set up by Markey and the Bezos paper while pretending Markey was only an innocent victim. In reality, they tried to frame Elon Musk.
It certainly looks like the Democrat government and their media partners are out to get Mr. Musk if he allows free speech. That’s how it looks to us.

There is no such thing as Disinformation. There is Information! Some True and Some False, that is for the Consumer to determine in a Free Society. Most information is opinion. The Founding Fathers created Freedom of Press to expose Government Corruption, not hide it or Legitimize it. With Corporate Media there is no free Media there are propaganda machines – Fake News!
When Politicians conspire with Media to Create Propaganda, both the politician and people in the Media involved should go to jail for Libel and Conspiracy. There was a time in America when someone who did this would find himself on a field of honor with a pistol. News Media is supposed to “print” news, not promulgate their opinions or propaganda as news. If it can’t stand up in court with evidence it is not news and belongs on the Editorial Page. The bar for taking news media to the wood shed (Court) needs to be very low. We just can’t continue having Media lying to us or being “Tools” of the Government.
If someone did indeed create a false Account impersonating someone else that is Identity Theft and Elon Musk should be taking the parties involved into court and sue them for actions that hurt his business and the Government should charge the Parties with Identity Theft, try them, and jail them. In this case there appears to be Conspiracy involving Jeff Bezos and Senator Ed Markey. We shouldn’t be allowing people to walk away from this kind of crime or just get a hand slap.
If you don’t want to be an authority or news provider you use a nom de plume to express “Your Opinion” as I do here. The use of an obvious nom de plume clearly indicates that you are expressing opinion and not Fact! When I want to indicate a Fact, I provide a Link to a credible News Source, but they are extremely hard to find today. I express my opinion in the hopes that true News Organizations which have far more resources than I will look into items that defy common sense and concern me. What Twitter was doing and FB seems to continue to do is suppress people’s opinions when the News is not making sense which absolutely contrary to the Spirit of Free Speech. Corporations, especially Media Corporations, don’t have the right to tell the little guy to just shut up. Media Corporations by Logic and Common Sense are an Electronic Public Square and thus are a “Public Utility”. The First Amendment is supposed to ensure the little guy is heard and his concerns are noted in the Public Square.
Marker is another leftist jerk. He goes way back ranting about global warming. He replaced Ted Kennedy. He brought a similar lack of dignity to the position. He speaks vacuously.
