Washington Post Hit Piece Paints Elon Musk As ‘Uniquely Dangerous’ For Standing Up For Free Speech

Who knew Stephen Colbert was so funny?
“The Late Show” host uncorked his best line in ages during his Monday night chat with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. The two were attacking President Donald Trump and celebrating VP Kamala Harris when Colbert hurled this killer quip.
“I know you guys are objective over there [at CNN], that you just report the news as is,” Colbert began before the live audience began to howl.
“Is that supposed to be a laugh line?” Collins asked.
“It’s not supposed to be, but I guess it is!” Colbert responded.
This Colbert guy is one to watch. Here’s hoping he shares more howlers this week.
The Last Walz
Now it all makes sense.
Stolen valor-adjacent Tim Walz is hitting the Hamptons Thursday for a tony fundraiser.
Nothing new there. The catch? The musical act chosen to lure people to see Captain Folksy and friends.
Mumford & Sons.
Yes, the same band that hung founding member Winston Marshall out to dry when he had the gall to support brave journalist Andy Ngo’s anti-Antifa book in 2021.
Marshall decided to leave the band and start a new career where he could speak his mind sans consequences. He’s done that and more.
Now his remaining bandmates are stuck with the unenviable task of making the Democrats forget Walz’s disastrous record.
If they play “I Will Wait” LOUD enough, they just might pull it off.
Life support for terminal Terminator
Audiences have spoken. We’re so done with “Terminator” movies.
The last two “Terminator” films, including 2019’s “Dark Fate” co-starring OG players Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, fizzled at the box office. The latter lost a reported $120 million.
Franchises end. It happens. MoveOn.org.
Tell that to James Cameron.
He teased yet another “Terminator” in a recent interview.
The self-described “overbearing” director has struck it rich, again, with the “Avatar” franchise. He’s booked for "Avatar 3, 4 and 5," but evidently has enough time to revive a franchise already read its last rites.
Why did he have to take "I’ll be back” so seriously?
Clooney a movie star? QT calls BS
George Clooney has it all. Looks. Money. Fame. A thin skin.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” lead is sore at Quentin Tarantino for saying he’s not a “movie star.” The two worked together on 1996’s “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn” but apparently grew apart after filming.
We’re siding with Tarantino. If anything, Clooney is a TV star first and foremost. Who else could rock a mullet like his “Facts of Life” do?
You're Sorkin in it
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin of “West Wing” fame is getting attention for a provocative attack on today’s GOP. Sorkin says it would be impossible for him to write a “reasonable” Republican character were the NBC series on the air now.
“People would watch that and it would be unfamiliar to them as the country that they live in. On the show, while the Republicans were the opposition, they were reasonable, the Republicans that they dealt with.”
Remember how Sorkin’s party demonized Mitt Romney, the most “reasonable” Republican in sight? Methinks the celebrated court scribe of the Democrats doth protest too much.
Something else Sorkin could never write today? The climactic monologue of 1995's "The American President," in which the titular character (Michael Douglas) makes a full-throated defense of free speech:
America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours."
Nowadays, Dems like Sorkin know better. Those words that make your blood boil are called "misinformation."
Coy George
With Kamala Chameleon making a run for the presidency, now's as good a time as any for "Karma Chameleon" crooner Boy George to return to the spotlight. An adaptation of the pioneering gender-bender's autobiography is headed to the big screen.
Don't expect an unflattering "warts and all" treatment. In an era in which singers routinely sell their song catalogs for millions, biopics, and documentaries are elaborate exercises in brand management.
Just ask Pink, Taylor Swift, Elton John, and others. Who needs a publicist when you have entire movie studios shaping your image?
Meanwhile, actress Christine Baranski is threatening a third “Mamma Mia!” movie. To paraphrase the great Boy himself, "Do you really want to hurt us, Christine?"
Aaron Sorkin Is The Real Villain Behind The Senate Sex Scandal

It's dumb, it's pointless, but it feels so good.Director Aaron Sorkin lashes out against cancel culture, says Twitter mobs are no different from the McCarthy era
Aaron Sorkin, famed screenwriter and director, hit out at cancel culture during a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
Sorkin made the remarks while interviewing about his forthcoming project, "Being the Ricardos," starring actors Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem.
What are the details?
In an article published on Thursday, Sorkin said that he believed there are parallels between cancel culture and McCarthy-era Hollywood.
"The bad guys during the blacklist, it wasn't just Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn," Sorkin said. "Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn would have been powerless if it wasn't for this other committee whose job it was, if the network wants to hire me on a television series, it was their job to tell the network whether that was OK, whether a guy who owned a couple of supermarkets on Long Island was going to be OK with the network advertising their product during my show."
He continued, saying that if media heads "told these groups to take a walk," things would have been very different.
"If the studio heads and network heads had told these groups to take a walk, and had just not listened to them, everything would have been fine," Sorkin reasoned. "And so, for instance, if we were to talk about Dave Chappelle for a moment, I certainly could make a rebuttal argument against a number of the points that he makes in his special, but I have absolutely no argument with Netflix and Ted Sarandos for putting it on their platform."
Sorkin also blasted Twitter mobs and said that canceling or banning things isn't contributing to healing a heavily divided culture — such as the one in which we live.
"What we need are more people to say no to — and that's what Twitter is, Twitter is that committee that says whether or not you can abuse someone, and they must be ignored," Sorkin added.
"I just strongly believe, and now more than ever when we're living in a frighteningly divided culture, that people talking to each other is the way out and that banning things isn't," he insisted.
What else?
Elsewhere during the interview, Sorkin said that his play, "To Kill a Mockingbird," was shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and said that important films and productions need to be preserved for the integrity of education and cultural evolution.
"My play, 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' had to shut down along with everyone else a year ago March, when COVID came along, and during that year and a half, five different school districts in the country banned the teaching of 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' along with 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' and 'Of Mice and Men,'" Sorkin said. "And people will point out to me, 'Well, they use the N-word in To Kill a Mockingbird.' Isn't it better to have a discussion in class about this? Isn't it an opportunity to talk about that word and why that word is almost holy in its power?"
Netflix Trailer for Aaron Sorkin's 'Trial of the Chicago 7' Takes Anti-Police Tone, Invokes BLM Protests
Netflix's upcoming movie "The Trial of the Chicago 7," written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, takes place at the height of the anti-Vietnam War protests during the late 60s. But the first trailer bears an unmistakable resemblance to today's Black Lives Matter protests and features a distinctly anti-police tone.![]()
