Wednesday morning on FOX and Friends, Ainsley Earhardt interviewed OutKick founder Clay Travis to discuss his reaction to Joe Rogan’s podcast with Bill Maher where they discussed Twitter’s censorship of the coronavirus lab leak theory.
Recognizing Twitter’s censorship, Travis suggested that Elon Musk should buy Twitter “to disrupt the existing algorithms and protocols [Twitter] has put into place” that are preventing full discussions in what is supposed to be “the marketplace of ideas.” With Twitter “driving narratives” that are discussed daily, Travis noted the specific restrictions placed on conversations that questioned topics pertaining to coronavirus, such as wearing masks and the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. Travis added that in order to have the truth come out, social media must allow for “open uninhabited discourse.”
