The Guardian announced that it will no longer use X, formerly Twitter, and fired CNN anchor Don Lemon says that he is doing the same.
Darn, how will we cope?
The Guardian says that they “think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere.” They say that the platform is rife with “far-right hate” but don’t specify what that means nor do they provide examples.
Trust in the media has been plummeting. Will The Guardian’s refusal to engage in anything other than its own rhetoric help this?
Don Lemon launched a show on X after he was fired from CNN and leaked memos show that he demanded millions of dollars and a Tesla Cybertruck from Elon Musk, which he never got. I can unequivocally say that his X show is horribly obnoxious. He roams the street, bothering people to ask about their politics and then lecturing them about why they’re wrong. He says he will continue his work on YouTube and Facebook.
