Bill Maher weighing in Friday night on Twitter and referencing the Babylon Bee. damookster Send a noteboard - 01/05/2022 05:02:32 PM

The Babylon Bee posted a video on Twitter mocking Twitter employees for being oversensitive about the Musk purchase. Twitter flagged the video as "sensitive content." Below is Maher's reaction.

“‘Sensitive content,’ Twitter said. In the video, they were making fun of Twitter for being too sensitive. This is so ‘Through the Looking Glass’!” “This is well within what satire has always been. And the fact that they flagged this for being insensitive shows their complete lack of self-awareness about what their own problem is. If that’s where the line is, you have failed Twitter. You do need a new sheriff.”
“I’d much rather have Elon Musk making the rules than a 23-year-old who can’t take the joke on Babylon Beeswax, or whatever the fuck that is. I mean, this is a generation that doesn’t know what the word ‘violence’ means. They think ‘violence’ means ‘anything I don’t like.’ Their standard of free speech is ‘I’m uncomfortable.’ That’s not where the standard is, right?”


“Has Twitter failed in setting itself up in the past as the judge of what can go out there? And I would say yes, you have,”
“You failed when you threw the New York Post off of Twitter for talking about Hunter Biden’s emails. And it turned out that was a real story. You failed when you said we couldn’t read about whether COVID had come from a lab. You failed!”

Bill Maher may be a classic liberal but he still uses his brain.
