Trump-Musk interview at press briefing may be censored by White House, suggests WaPo reporter.

The Washington Post reporter proposed that the Biden administration censor "misinformation" during the interview between Elon Musk and former President Trump.

In the press briefing on Monday, Cleve Wootson Jr. of the Washington Post mentioned Musk's upcoming conversation with Trump, stating that misinformation is not just a campaign issue but also an American issue.

What is the role of the White House or the president in stopping or intervening in the spread of that? Wootson Jr. asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, with some of it being related to campaign misinformation, but it's a broader issue.

Jean-Pierre stated that social media companies have a "duty" to control false information on their platforms, while acknowledging that the Biden administration is "aware" that they are private enterprises.

It is crucial to highlight that, as you're doing. However, I lack specifics on our internal activities, Jean-Pierre stated.

Critics slammed the exchange on social media.

"My God," RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan reacted.

Podcast host Noam Blum stated something insane, according to him.

""You are a White House reporter for @washingtonpost and you think your job is to collude with the White House press secretary to censor Americans with whom you disagree. That's truly pathetic and shameful, @CleveWootson," conservative lawyer Mike Davis told the liberal journalist."

Tim Carney, a Washington Examiner columnist, expressed hope that everyone else at the Post would renounce the anti-free-speech campaign.

Charles C.W. Cooke, a senior editor at National Review, stated, "Democracy Dies in Darkness," echoing The Washington Post's slogan.

Sunny, a conservative X personality, similarly quipped that "The Washington Post is trying to get the government to shut down private citizen interviews with presidential candidates because democracy dies when people are not allowed to speak freely."

Stephen L. Miller, the host of Versus Media, stated that these individuals must lose their jobs.

Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist, wrote that Cleve Wootson, a Washington Post propagandist, is an anti-speech activist who is calling on the Biden administration to punish Elon Musk for practicing journalism.

The Washington Post declined to comment on Planet Chronicle Digital's request.

The Space immediately crashed during the Trump-Musk interview Monday night, leaving X users with the message "This Space is unavailable."

The crash was caused by a "DDOS attack on 𝕏," as claimed by Musk. The interview began 40 minutes later and lasted over two hours.
