Gosh, you know, we searched AOC’s timeline for tweets like this when Twitter locked both The Babylon Bee and the New York Post … can’t find any. Guess Sandy only really cares about speaking truth to power when it’s truth to power she agrees with.
She’s very fussy with NBC for suspending Ben Collins who acted like a jilted, angry ex-girlfriend in his coverage of Elon Musk. Hey, even they have their limits we suppose although if we’re being honest, we were shocked to see it.
Granted, it’s only ‘temporary’.
Journalism is supposed to speak truth to power, not bow to it. https://t.co/RRa3IqiQaN

Like Twitter, NBC is a private company, Sandy.
And that’s OUR truth to power.
Deal with it.
NBC news has been continuously covering Elon Musk. They just took this one douche off the beat because he couldn't do his job without sounding like an angry bitter baby. pic.twitter.com/BP5PEvwyO8

She really does.
The best thing about Musk’s Twitter takeover is the Leftist hypocrisy being brought to light. You had no problem with any of this until it came to your doorstep.
I sincerely hope he’s able to shorten your career and the rest of the careers in “The Squad.”

The media can't get a story about a bunch of kids in red hats correct.
The game is propaganda not truth.

Lol… Yes. And none of the mainstream media does. That's why we don't trust, read or watch them any more. They have no power.

BREAKING: AOC needs attention because her movie was a flop and she needs some assurance that some people still care what she thinks. 😂

Ouch.
Like when they were suspending accounts that talked about a laptop?

Let’s be real clear here, you’re not really fond of the truth unless in can be manipulated to increase your power/wealth.

Double ouch.
Journalism is supposed to NOT be 1 sided, but that’s where we are today.

Trust me. If journalism was legit, you would have gotten nowhere close to being in the House.

DING DING DING.
Speaking truth to power doesn't mean merely shouting insults at them.
Even NBC has standards.

We’re as surprised as you are.
