CNN correspondent Oliver Darcy suffered a hysterical meltdown after X owner Elon Musk restored the account of radio host Alex Jones, whose account Darcy was instrumental in banning.
Sounding off to his paltry Meta Threads audience, the former Brian Stelter sidekick lost his composure asking if advertisers would stay on the X platform after Jones’ account was restored on Saturday.
“Companies, news organizations, public figures, government officials, and all the rest need to ask themselves: Is this the platform they want to hangout on?” a pearl-clutching Darcy asked Sunday.
“So weird seeing people casually post on the zombie bird site as if everything there is normal,” Darcy also noted Sunday following Jones’ account restoration, referring to the Twitter/X platform which he stopped using in July.
The CNN censorship czar also attempted to draw attention to Musk’s editorial control over X, despite Linda Yaccarino being installed as CEO earlier this year.
“Of note: This is yet another example as well of Musk, not Linda Yaccarino, being in charge and calling shots at X,” Darcy wrote on Threads. “Musk said he’d step aside and simply be the chief technology officer at the social media company. But that has clearly not been the case.”
In a longer screed, Darcy attempted to claim he was trying to hold Musk accountable for inconsistently applying X rules and for the past banning of journalists, when clearly his real gripe is with Jones personally.
“News outlets that are going to say Musk portrays himself as a ‘free speech absolutist’ really have a duty to their audiences to note that he has also taken steps to limit the free speech of his critics,” Darcy added.
It’s no wonder Darcy is infuriated — the banning of Jones’ and Infowars’ accounts was a crown jewel achievement that represented the culmination of his efforts to impose censorship on the social media landscape.
The banning of Jones’ account on X, formerly Twitter, happened after Jones confronted Darcy in the halls of Congress as the Infowars host was in Washington DC to attend the hearings of then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on censorship.
During the confrontation, Jones told Darcy, “Those are the eyes of a rat,” which the Twitter platform claimed violated their policies on off-platform behavior and harassment of public figures.
Jones discussed the incident in recent viral interview with Tucker Carlson on X.
Alex Jones tells Tucker Carlson the real reason he was banned from Twitter 1.0:
“I bullied Oliver Darcy… he was literally on Twitter taking my sponsors, calling for me to be silenced, so he’s been attacking me.. all I did was shove a camera in his face while he was waiting to… pic.twitter.com/w1eu5tVuMt

How removed from reality must one be to mock X’s relevance, as it makes global headlines any time someone breaks wind over here, while posting on Threads, which everyone forgot Zuck released, including him?

Will the CNN hatchet man, like others before him, out of desperation return to X with his tail between his legs ostensibly to counter Jones’ “misinformation” on the platform?
The globalists are increasing their attacks on Infowars and the stakes have never been higher!
