Accountability: Still Elusive

Commentary

I have devoted considerable space writing about the elusiveness of accountability; how those in high places are not held accountable for their actions.

Most recently, I repeated my demand that Hillary Clinton be held accountable for the four Americans who died during the Benghazi raid and added President Biden’s botched withdrawal of Afghanistan that resulted in the death of 13 service man and women, and the injuries of a hundred more.

On Monday, while commenting on Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said she wasn’t going to speak about hypothetical policies that might result, however, what followed was a statement that caught my attention, because it was so unbelievable.

“President Biden believes,” she said, “that technological companies must be held accountable for their influence on people’s daily lives, explaining that this was not specific to the Twitter deal.”

“Our concerns are not new,” Psaki said. ‘We’ve long talked about, the president has long talked about his concerns about the power of social media platforms including Twitter and others to spread misinformation, disinformation, the need for these platforms to be held accountable.”

When it was revealed that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about the Biden family corruption scandals that were suppressed by big tech and the mainstream media, the White House was silent.

I could not find a comment from Biden or Psaki about this specific censorship. Seriously, can you imagine Biden holding them accountable for helping him win?

“This was not happenstance.  This was not coincidence.  This was not oversight and this was not just a mistake,” said Brent Bozell, president and founder of Media Research Center. “These were deliberate decisions that were made thousands of times, literally thousands of times, to either twist or to not cover it at all.”

In the swing states Pennsylvania and Georgia, 15 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for Biden.  In Michigan, it was 14 percent.  In Arizona, it was 21 percent.  In Wisconsin it was 13 percent and in Nevada it was 18 percent.

Yes, there were voting irregularities in a number of states, but it was the suppression of anything negative about Biden by Twitter, Facebook, the other social media outlets, and the leftist mainstream media that gave Biden his victory in 2020.

Now, more than ever … may God continue to bless the United States of America.
