Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts
Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian
I'm the same
Good guy The Guardian. For my fellow Brits, here is your regular reminder that there are only two major independent news outlets in the UK: The Guardian and the BBC.
Not a fan of Musk but saying the BBC and Guardian are independent is a stretch.
BBC director and editorial standard setter Robbie Gibb is a rabid Zionist and owner of the Jewish Chronicle, whose funding is a secret.
The Guardian kowtows to the Israel lobby and the right.

Legacy media is inherently self serving and sets whatever narratives are in the interests of the powerful.
Keep pressuring all journalists, celebrities, brands, and influencers to delete their accounts or at least stop posting there (and publicly say so). Twitter’s only power to spread untruths is the eyeballs still watching it.
I know this will shock everyone, destabilize the entire Xitter platform, and here goes... I will no longer post there, either.

Well, shit, that's the platform dead to me then!
I got locked out of twitter years ago pre-musk. Would have deleted my account, but it was a hassle. So I left it behind like the POS it was and still is. Onward!
Responding to the announcement, Musk posted on X that the Guardian was “irrelevant” and a “laboriously vile propaganda machine”.
The Guardian is rubber, and Musk is glue.
Seems Vance threatening tariffs to nations that limit musks political bull.
Has made the political corruption so obvious it can't be ignored.
What took them so long?
Immediately critising someone/a group for doing the right thing but not doing enough/quickly enough is probably one of the main reasons its so hard to get traction for progressive politics. It's incredibly tiresome.
Agreed, it comes off as petulant and is really grating when fellow supporters get all smarmy when said individual/group doesn't immediately adopt the next thing in progressive politics the nanosecond it enters public discussion.
I'll keep an eye on the feddit.uk applications for grauniad@theguardian.com in that case!
We don't have a Mastodon server, do we?
I joined Mastodon years ago, but the server I joined was always a bit moribund and I sort of lost interest. Wouldn't be against someone doing a Fedwitter.uk...
(It should not be called Fedwitter.uk under any circumstances)
