The “Committee to Protect Journalists” has identified itself more and more as a partisan group that despises conservatives. In the Trump years, it’s turned from its focus on journalists being harmed or imprisoned abroad to kvetching about Trump’s treatment of the press – as if any of it is jailing or harming journalists. On Thursday, a CPJ gala in New York city featured HBO comedian/activist John Oliver, who shared the leftist feeling in the room that things were “bleak” since Trump and the Republicans won. But Oliver did express joy over Elon Musk stupidly blowing a huge wad of cash on the “online sewer” of Twitter. At a Committee to Protect Journalists gala, John Oliver expresses delight that Elon Musk was "stupid enough to spend $44 billion on an online sewer."

For some people, that's as simple as watching a sunset or listening to the laughter of a child. Both of those things are fine. Personally, I have found that that genuinely the thing that brings me the most joy in my life is watching bad things happen to billionaires. All bad things, by the way, from midrange, physical harm on up from there. It all works for me genuinely. And this says nothing good about me. Nothing has made me happier over the last 12 months, nothing than watching Elon Musk set fire to Twitter. To watch the world's richest man get temporarily demoted to the world's second richest man. All because he was stupid enough to spend $44 billion on an online sewer has put a happiness in my heart that I honestly didn't think it could contain any more. It's all gone very badly. I think we all know that! We should note John Oliver and his show Last Week Tonight are maintaining Twitter accounts. The "online sewer" still has promotional value, apparently.  Let's not forget that billionaire-bashing Oliver isn't exactly a man of the people. He and his wife Kate snagged a snazzy $9.5 million 39th floor Manhattan penthouse with "panoramic views of the city skyline." Then they "used a tax loophole created by Donald Trump himself back in the 1970s.” PS: CPJ board chair Jacob Weisberg tried to claim his group was "nonpartisan" as they screeched that the Trump administration was an unprecedented danger to press freedom. That sounds pretty partisan. Leftist journalists boast about how they bring accountability to government. But where were they under Biden? They let Team Biden hide his glaring cognitive decline for years and shame any journalist that pointed out he was slipping.  Committee to Protect Journalists board chair Jacob Weisberg insists everyone must applaud the media’s alleged pursuit of “factual information” as essential for democracy. Fact: He also lauded BuzzFeed publishing the unverified Steele dossier in 2017. https://t.co/ThiOpcXbCb pic.twitter.com/m6Z5v0TSEd — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) November 24, 2024
