CNN Tries to Shame Companies That Haven't Pulled Ads From X Over Elon Musk's 'Antisemitism'

X owner Elon Musk is such an antisemite that he traveled to Israel Monday to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu, visit one of the towns ravaged by Hamas' invasion on October 7, and to view a screening of Hamas atrocities. Nevertheless, the mainstream media is certain that Musk is antisemitic.

We've been through this before — media outlets trying to "name and shame" companies that haven't pulled ads from social media sites. It's extortion: rather than just report the ones that have pulled advertising, they report on the ones that haven't pulled their advertising — yet.

Back in 2020, CNN attempted this with Facebook and the "Stop Hate for Profit" campaign, a month-long advertiser boycott of Facebook over supposed hate speech on the platform. CNN duly noted which companies hadn't pulled their ads:

These are the big brands that haven't pulled ads from Facebook yet https://t.co/Nh9BQwX0nO

It's 2023, and CNN is at it again. Oliver Darcy last week outed some of the major companies that were still advertising on X, despite Musk being antisemitic.

Exactly. It's activism. These companies aren't living up to Darcy's expectations and he's going to punish them.

Darcy is among the cadre of self-important internet hall monitors. Unsurprising headline.

Tortious interference

CNN can't stand a platform that counters its propaganda.

Journalism is dead. Journalists believe that withholding information from the masses, or simply lying, allows them to shape history by distorting what's honesty happening as they're "documenting" it. THEY don't want US to make informed decisions.

Göbbels would blush.

The lines aren't even just blurred anymore.
They're blatantly crossed and giving us the finger from the other side.

Still proudly displays the "X" link right under his name.

"These journalists are still posting on X despite Elon Musk's antisemitic endorsement."

Thanks @oliverdarcy , those three companies now move up on my list when considering where and how to spend my money.

Of course it's the sellout, @oliverdarcy
He sold his soul years ago.

CNN corrupts absolutely.

This, my friends, is called a grift.

Darcy is lying. There was no endorsement.

But worse, it’s activism for the purpose of suppressing speech. From people who are supposed to be the biggest defenders of free speech.
— Pudge (@pudgenet) November 26, 2023

Not even activism. It’s propaganda.

How many major companies still advertise on CNN even after peddling fake news for years? We don't know if there's a list, because it's liberals who are into making lists.
