Subject: Glenn Greenwald on the Elon interview
Just lays waste to corporate, state-run media:

What went wrong here is not what Elon Musk said. It's so revealing that so many journalists are aghast that anyone would dare tell Disney and major corporations to go f**k yourself when they're trying to limit, censor, and control the flow of political content.
If you aren't willing to say that to corporations who are trying to limit what you can say, don't bother calling yourself a journalist.
We need way more journalists willing to say, go f**k yourself to people who try and limit what they say.
The problem is, is that the people who are hired by these major media corporations, and who thrive in them and succeed in them are people who have the opposite instinct.
Their instinct is to assuage and serve and placate establishment power, not to defy it. Even though the purpose of journalism is to be adversarial to establishment power.
Glenn's wrong on one sense: When there's a Republican in the White House these people all of a sudden are Champions Of The First Amendment because dEmOcRaCy DiEs In DaRkNeSs or something.
Of course, when a lib is in charge the lights go right out again.
