Twitter/X Files Thermonuclear Lawsuit Against Media Matters

X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters, stating that the publisher “knowingly and maliciously” misrepresented the amount of antisemitic content on the platform.

The media watchdog released a report on Thursday that accused X of placing ads for brands next to pro-Hitler and white nationalist accounts.

Elon Musk vowed to fight and file a thermonuclear lawsuit.

“Not a single authentic user on X saw IBM’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to the content in Media Matters’ article,” X CEO Linda Yaccarino asserted in a post on X. “Only two users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters.”

The lawsuit is filed against Media Matters and the report’s author, Eric Hananoki, a senior investigative reporter at Media Matters.

The lawsuit claims the Media Matters article is “false, defamatory and misleading.” Musk alleges that the outlet did not “find” the offensive ads next to more reputable ones but “created” them via “inorganic” use of the site to “manufacture the harmful perception that X is at best an incompetent content moderator … or even worse that X was somehow indifferent or even encouraging to Nazi and racist ideology,” The Wrap reports.

Paul Harvey warned us long ago , the words of prophecy :
   PAUL HARVEY’S ‘IF I WERE THE DEVIL’ TRANSCRIPTIf I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.’
“To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’
“And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
“If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
“Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography — soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
“If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
And what do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work in Patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing.
Paul Harvey, good day.”

This should be interesting since Media Matters is owned by Soros. Two billionaires battling in the courts. I guess it depends on where the suit was filed since Judges now are not really judges…they’re activists.
