Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is facing an exodus of advertisers due to the abundance of allegedly anti-Semitic content on the platform.
But the problem is that, as usual, the exodus is driven primarily not by facts, but by propaganda from far-left agitprop companies like Media Matters.
“[A] The report by… Media Matters on Thursday found ads from top brands including Apple, IBM, Oracle and Xfinity from Comcast, a telecommunications company, and Bravo, the television network, alongside posts promoting points of “pronazi” view. Financial Times reported
“Media Matters published another report on Friday showing that ads from companies including Amazon, NBA Mexico and NBCUniversal’s branding agency had appeared alongside content with white nationalist labels,” the paper added.
As a reminder, media only matters recently smeared a conservative Jewish commentator as “anti-Semitic”. Make this meaningful.

However, despite the group’s history of pushing lies, businesses are clearly eating up the group’s propaganda. On Friday evening, Apple, IBM, Disney, Comcast/NBCUniversal, Lions Gate Entertainment, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount had reportedly suspended their ads on X. axes.
The European Commission has also suspended its ads on the platform.
“Johannes Bahrke, spokesman for the European Commission, confirmed at a press conference on Friday that it would freeze advertising on X,” notes Axios.
Musk, the owner of X, was not satisfied. In a post published early Saturday morning, he promised to file “a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters” on Monday.

In addition, according to Fox Business Networkan X executive told them that the platform “didn’t intentionally actively place a brand next to this kind of [anti-Semitic] content, nor is a brand actively trying to support that content with placement.”
“Ads follow people on X, in this case the Media Matters research that was going to actively seek out that content – that’s how user targeting works. In terms of the platform itself, there are control settings for to every user and every brand,” the executive said.
They added that groups like Media Matters “aggressively search for posts and then go to the accounts, and if they see an ad … they keep clicking Refresh to capture as many brands as possible.”
That said, there’s another element to this controversy: Musk’s decision earlier in the week to personally like an allegedly anti-Semitic post that accused Jewish powers such as the Anti-Defamation League of condoning and promoting anti-white hatred.
“You have spoken the real truth. … The ADL unfairly attacks the majority of the West, despite the fact that the majority of the West supports the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own principles, criticize the groups minorities who are their main threat,” he wrote in response to the controversial tweet.
“It’s not good and it has to stop,” he added.

Those tweets drew loud applause from the Biden administration.
“We condemn this abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitic and racist hatred in the strongest possible terms, which goes against our core values as Americans,” the White House said in a statement Friday, referring to Musk’s tweets.
“It is unacceptable to repeat the horrific lie behind the deadliest act of anti-Semitism in American history at any time, let alone a month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust,” he added. the white house

The great irony of all this is that on Friday, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt PRAISED Musk for his efforts to “combat hate,” including anti-Semitism, in X.

This is an important and welcome step @elonmusk. I appreciate this leadership in the fight against hate. https://t.co/N1tMHa1M1j
