The Lie-Able Sources Podcast: Taking a Long Look at the Elon Musk-Media Matters Feud

Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.

In this episode, there is a solitary topic as we address the story of Elon Musk vs. Media Matters for America. The left-wing activist outfit worked to “prove” that despite assurances from Xitter, advertisers had their brands featured alongside hateful content. MMFA then raced to the corporations with the evidence of this, all in an effort to have them pull their business and choke the platform of revenue.

Musk responded with an instantly compiled lawsuit against the outfit, and battle lines were drawn across the users of the social media site. Musk’s contention is that MMFA manipulated things to work the site’s algorithm, setting things up in an unrealistic fashion in order to fabricate the results it was seeking to find. Part of the irony is the members of the media who express outrage that Musk is threatening freedom of the press — despite previously applauding when Dominion voting systems filed a near-identical defamation suit against FoxNews.

What MMFA performed was a classic case of activism over journalism. It remains to be seen if Musk can prove there was actual malicious intent in their efforts.

Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem and malpractice.
