For years Democrats and their media allies have likened nearly every aspect of the ongoing witch hunt against Donald J. Trump to the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard M. Nixon. But none of them compare to the damning revelations contained in the ongoing release of internal documents from Twitter that show the government’s influence on the social media giant to censor and suppress information that didn’t fit the Democratic Party agenda.
During a recent edition of his popular Spotify show, podcaster Joe Rogan explained that the “Twitter Files” which have been published as new owner Elon Musk implements a new policy of transparency at the San Francisco-based company, is really comparable to the scandal that began with the 1972 break-in of the Democratic Party’s national headquarters at the Watergate hotel complex in Washington, D.C. and the subsequent coverup that ended with Nixon’s 1974 resignation only two years after his landslide reelection bid which he won by 520-17 electoral votes.
On Friday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the host sat down with political commentator Kyle Kulinski for one of his trademark, wide-ranging, extended interviews when the topic of the reporting of the Twitter documents by journalists including Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss and Michael Shellenberger came up during a discussion of free speech on internet platforms, the media and gatekeepers.
