Whatever one thinks of Elon Musk these days, his purchase of Twitter in 2022 was a major victory in favor of free speech. Because of that, stories like the horrific stabbing death of Iryna Zarutska won’t be swept under the rug.
X users are now asking the tough questions and having the uncomfortable conversations that were considered too hot for the previous Twitter regime. In a sense, X users are the new media, while the regime media continues to expose themselves as state propagandists.
In this free episode of the Check Your Brain podcast, Tony Mazur looks at how this tragedy is covered by the press and how their first instinct is to blame the MAGA movement (“Republicans pounce”) for noticing. That noticing goes from the patterns of violence in that demographic, as well as how the system continues to let scum like DeCarlos Brown Jr. out of jail after over a dozen arrests.
