American Media Refuses to Cover Don Jr.’s Move to ‘Telegram,’ He Humiliates Himself Linking Article from ‘Hindustan Times’

First of all, we are laughing at Junior and American media sites’ unwillingness to cover his every breath – at least for now. We are not mocking the Hindustan Times, which – upon research, seems to be a perfectly acceptable and respectable English-language site/paper published in India. According to Wiki:

Hindustan Times is one of the largest newspapers in India, by circulation. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, it has a circulation of 993,645 copies as of November 2017. The Indian Readership Survey 2014 revealed that HT is the second most widely read English newspaper in India after The Times of India. It is popular in North India, with simultaneous editions from New Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Patna, Ranchi and Chandigarh.

So, those are some of the biggest cities in the world in an exploding country where English is spoken by most of the elite. We are sure that it’s perfectly respectable.

But it says a shitload when only a prominent Indian media outlet would cover Junior’s explanation as to why he’d move to Telegram. The story is nothing more than coverage of his tweet explaining why he’s moving to Telegram. We emphasize, he used Twitter to announce the move.

“Big Tech Censorship is getting worse and if these Tyrants banned my father, the President of the United States, who won’t they ban?”. “We need a place that I can connect to you guys that respects Free Speech. That’s why I joined Telegram.” tweeted Don Jr.

In answer to Junior’s question “Who won’t they ban?” we would say that they won’t ban people who abide by Twitter’s rules, especially those people who have been warned and warned and … We also note that evidently, Junior inherited his dad’s penchant for indiscriminately capitalizing certain words just for fun.

It is noteworthy that Junior was forced to link to the Hindustan Times for coverage of his decision. It seems to imply that American media didn’t find the announcement newsworthy. We don’t find his announcement newsworthy, we find his desperation newsworthy.

He will only get more desperate as his family finds themselves ostracized on the domestic front. It is this desperation, in part, that makes him dangerous and worth watching.

Peace, y’all
