Woke Users at Soros-Funded Wikipedia Cast Musk Suspending Lefty Journos as ‘Thursday Night Massacre’
NewsBusters ^ | 12/18/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Leftists at the George Soros-funded Wikipedia attempted to paint the elitist journalists who shared the real-time flight location information of Twitter owner Elon Musk as victims of a “massacre.”

Yes, you read that right.

A Wikipedia article was published with a babbling headline that needed no explanation: “Thursday Night Massacre (Twitter).” The article’s logic was just pure nonsense: “The ‘Thursday Night Massacre’ is a term that refers to the December 15, 2022, account suspension of several high-profile journalists from the Twitter platform.”

“at Soros-Funded Wikipedia”?
The same Wiki constantly begging for donations is funded by Soros?
If that is accurate I will have to dust off my old paper dictionary.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

File under Wikipedia. Never trust anything in it that is a cover up of the Left.

Many of those journalists have been reinstated (source):

Following the journalists' suspensions, Musk posted a poll asking people whether he should reinstate the accounts of users who doxxed his exact location in real time "now" or "in 7 days." The "now" option won, and Musk promised that those accounts will be restored. So far, Twitter has reinstated Harwell's account, along with the accounts of The New York Times' Ryan Mac, Mashable's Matt Binder, The Intercept's Micah Lee and CNN's Donie O'Sullivan. Keith Olbermann's account is still suspended, and it's unclear if Twitter will lift @ElonJet's suspension in the coming days.

There is no reason to trust Wikipedia. But it is still a valuable resource. It provides sources for the information it publishes that can be easily checked.

We live in a complicated world now. And there is a massive amount of information out there.

Sometimes we have to use things like Wikipedia because it summarizes that mountain of evidence. When it sounds "off" we have to check sources.

Leftists attempted to paint the journalists who were banned from Twitter as victims of a “massacre.”

Oh the horrors of it all. Can you believe that Leftists, those very Leftists who see free speech as evil and Musk as the Prince of Darkness, see victims of a Twitter ban as having been "massacred?"

Have they no shame?

This should be Headline News and screamed from every rooftop!

A movement should be made to create a bill banning foreign donations that tie into policy or politics for any reason or form.

The real massacre was when Gyorgy boy ratted out his fellow Jews to the nazis during WW2.
