Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has been tweeting out some interesting things lately and on Monday he zeroed in on the media in a series of tweets that have drawn attention with the company dominating recent headlines as a result of billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover bid.

Dorsey, who is also the tech giant’s co-founder stepped down as CEO last year but has continued to serve up his hot takes on the platform, including his zinger directed at CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter over a tweet throwing shade at rival Tucker Carlson,

Stelter brought attention to a hit piece against the Fox News ratings king by Philip Bump of The Washington Post writing, “Tucker Carlson is always selling the same thing, @pbump says: ‘He’s selling doubt…,'” the latest anti-Carlson narrative in a line of constant attacks from establishment leftists.

Dorsey responded, “and you all are selling hope?”

Responding to another tweet, this one by Alex Salvi of Newsmax who said that he was defending Tucker, Dorsey denied that suggestion.

“not defending a thing. holding up a mirror,” wrote Dorsey.

Dorsey also responded to a tweet by investor, author, and former Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao who responded to a user defending Stelter and Bump’s cheap shot at Carlson.

“I thought his point was that the press does the same thing, sowing doubt to promote white supremacy and get engagement, often amplifying bad takes, but now I’m not sure anymore,” she wrote.

Dorsey replied, “yes,” keeping it short and sweet.

He also engaged with the user who added, “Its kind of weird to see that coming out of the founder of Twitter because I’d have a lot to say on that front…”

“i’m sure. and we certainly have seen what twitter does positive and negative. I think the common denominator is the current ad model for all media, not just social media,” Dorsey said.

@jack also responded to a tweet from television host and beauty pageant winner Sarah Idan, aka Miss Iraq who wrote, “even @CNN sometimes sell false news. I know this from covering Iraq events in 2019. People need to understand every media is prone to either mistakes or deliberate corruption. Do your own investigation before believing what they’re selling you.”

Dorsey then dropped a bombshell, writing that he personally witnessed CNN fanning the flames in Ferguson, MO during the violent unrest that erupted after the death of Michael Brown, the “gentle giant” who was shot while attempting to steal a police officer’s gun.

“I know this from being on the streets of Ferguson during the protests and watching them try to create conflict and film it causing the protestors to chant “f–k CNN,” he tweeted.

Twitter’s former CEO also waded into the company’s internal politics over the weekend as the board dug in to prevent Musk’s takeover bid, responding to a user who claimed that the board has historically been “mired in plots and coups,” suggesting that it would be great material for a Hollywood thriller.

“it’s consistently been the dysfunction of the company,” Dorsey wrote.

Dorsey’s candid tweeting just adds more spice to the boiling pot of corporate intrigue as the current board and leftist political establishment that it serves pull out all the stops to protect their ability to impose censorship from Musk who has yet to reveal what Plan B is.

  1. Dorsey is either trying to rewrite history or make us believe that now that he has spent some time away from the “cult” he can see things more clearly and has come to his senses…Either/or – No Thank you Jack!!

  2. The management of Twitter needs to be very careful, Elon probably has a plan B. Then a plan C and so on until they cry uncle. And I don’t mean Uncle Joey Biden.

  3. Well Jack may be having a small moment of lucidity I will not get trapped by it.
    All leftists are are always angling.

  4. And the plot thickens, can’t wait for the main attraction as the cards start fall. I just hope plan “B” as is entertaining as I hope it will be.

    Semper Fi 1969-1989

  5. Perhaps some of these tech bros from “SillyCon” Valley see what’s currently happening in the world that is directly part of their fault. The kitchen is getting hot so they’ve decided to get out of it.

  6. i always saw dorsey as a left wing bot, but apparently there are a few brain cells functioning after all.

  8. Where is Dorsey coming from? Could it be that he has a bit of a bad conscience over his fruitful attempt to influence the 2020 election? A day late and a dollar short as the old saying goes.

  9. Rejoice when your enemies are fighting each other. Jack is trying desperately to find himself in the midst of all thats going on. Hes still searching for what he doesnt have as of yet.Thats inner peace. Thats why hes changing his hair do. Going from one extreme to the other. Sad to say is that if he would allow it to happen,nature would guide him to the best image . However that image is not whats important. Its character that he needs.

  10. Stelter is such a moronic loser and he continues to ridicule himself as a typical bully and wannabe. He will sell his soul to be popular. I guess when you go through life some people never grow up and outgrow. Prime example.

  11. dorsey is antifa, white supremacist, racist, and a misogynist. He is everything Epong is not and dorsey is living doubt. If he loses tweeterer he may need to be restrained from hurting himself. Tucker is always right and covers everything fair and balanced and the left can’t stand it that he is the number ONE show in the world! The hairless hall monitor, aka humpty is quite envious and keeps his foot up his azz continually. Typical for cnn losers. The worst network in the world!

  12. I do not know any mainstream media that is objective and fair in their reporting. They are all biased and partisan-apologists and defenders of the Democrat Party. Mainstream media in this country has become nothing but and arm of the Democrat Party- FREE propagandists for the Democrats

  13. I defy any of you filthy libs to cite a single lie being told on Fox News. Waiting…

  14. Stelter is a hack that couldn’t find his way with a seeing eye dog. He fits right in with the fake news crowd at CNN!!

  15. Twitter this, Twitter that. It’s either going to be a leftist racist platform, or it’s going to be a platform for freedom of speech that everyone can share. Twitter has lost a lot due to its biases’ against a group of people that dares to use their rights given to them by the Constitution/The Bill of Rights. How much more can Twitter lose? They are on a downward descent. Will Twitter be here in 6 months this mess?

    1. With Jacks unstable character , Im surprised hes still here. The guy is headed for an emotional breakdown.
