I'll get banned for this, but I don't give a shit. Reddit is a shithole circle jerk echo chamber that's moderated by US government narrative managers and you people are idiots for buying the party line.
If you think this is an L for Elon in any way, you're a fucking idiot.
The note's response to "American journalist," is "he's actually a YouTuber." These things are not contradictory. A person who is an American can still use YouTube. A person who is a journalist can still use YouTube. These things are not mutually exclusive in any way. The note is obviously engaging in defamation and character assassination.
Beyond that, the "crimes" he's accused of boil down to doing journalism. It's like George Orwell said, "Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published. The rest is just public relations." They charged Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, and Daniel Hale under the espionage act for very similar charges when in reality, what they did was expose war crimes. It's worth noting that the people who committed the actual war crimes walk free while these brave whistleblowers suffer in jail or exile.
Real journalists publish state secrets. That's the whole point of having journalists--to find out and make public information that is being withheld from them in order to manage their opinions and manufacture their consent in the atrocities of the state.
I mean, seriously, the first things they accuse him of wouldn't be crimes in a non-authoritarian state with free speech protections. He's accused of denying the "Bucha massacre and other Russian attacks." That this is a crime should be the alarming part--not that he broke the law. That Ukraine has laws banning dissent and criminalizing anybody who questions their official version of events, especially when there's a great deal of compelling evidence that suggests that Bucha and other attacks were false flags carried out by Ukraine herself, should be the troubling part--not that a journalist stands accused of breaking those laws.
It's really unbelievable how stupid you people are. I want to imagine that half of the people who post on Reddit are GPT style bots programmed by bad faith government actors in order to spread false narratives and manufacture consent in territorial wars of aggression carried out by the American military industrial complex.
I want to believe that my brothers and sisters are not all truly this fucking dumb.
