This was especially true when what I said was 100% correct with verifiable sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After becoming disgusted with Twitter, killing the account, and not looking back I don\u2019t really want to sign up again. Then there\u2019s the fun little thing that Twitter is perhaps limiting how much I can read per day? (Is that true?) and now they\u2019re not letting me look at any tweets behind the \u201cCreate an Account\u201d page.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was tuning in a couple of days a week to see what Mr Musk was proposing about the future of Twitter. I was actually thinking about rejoining the service. But now\u2026 Nah, I\u2019m not going to jump blindly into a service that drove me away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was tuning into Tucker Carlson on Twitter. That was another perk for me to rejoin the service. I hadn\u2019t quite decided when the Twitter folks locked things down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I can\u2019t see him at all and interestingly his Twitter show isn\u2019t being rebroadcast as widely as it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go to Tucker\u2019s web site and maybe view episodes. Although I\u2019ve not had that work either. It looks like the link it trying to take the user to Twitter or X (whatever,) but the linkage fails without an error and never plays either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while I\u2019m sure the number of people like myself who don\u2019t really want to play Twitter\u2019s game is vanishingly small, There are a number of us for whom Tucker is effectively OFF THE AIR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is just exactly what the folks who fired Mr. Carlson from Fox wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it\u2019s probably working for a lot of folks, but since I don\u2019t have a Twitter account and am really ambivalent about creating a new one I\u2019m not able to see Tucker Carlson.
