We’ve seen a lot of meltdowns from leftists abandoning Twitter because Donald Trump hurts their feelings. We can’t even recount them all, but most recently, human tub of goo Rob Reiner has both deleted his Twitter account AND apparently checked into a mental institution.

Yikes. Clearly, that guy needs professional help, so we hope he gets it. 

It’s one thing, however, for individuals to quit the platform. When dead media organizations do it, it’s like seeing a wonderful white flag of surrender from a corrupt institution that has been thoroughly defeated after lying to its audience for years. A couple of weeks ago British rag The Guardian showed up at the Twitter airport to announce its departure.

Then yesterday, the European Federation of Journalists, which represents hundreds of thousands of individual media hacks, melodramatically announced that it would stop posting on Twitter effective January 20, the day that ‘literal Orange Hitler’ would become the 47th President of the United States. 

LOL. At first, we weren’t sure this was real, but then we saw the tweet from the EFJ itself. 

Get a load of this coping and seething:

Why January 20? Trump is effectively POTUS right now, so why not quit immediately? 

More importantly, why do they think anyone cares? They’re only hurting themselves. 

The statements from the EFJ President and General Secretary are pure schadenfreudeliciousness: 

‘We cannot continue to participate in feeding the social network of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists,’ said EFJ President Maja Sever. ‘The social media site X has become the preferred vector for conspiracy theories, racism, far-right ideas and misogynistic rhetoric. X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the particular ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies.’

‘The editorial evolution of X, since its acquisition by Elon Musk, is simply in contradiction with our humanist values, our commitment to press freedom and media pluralism, and our fight against all forms of hatred and discrimination. The decision to suspend our @EFJEUROPE account seemed obvious to us and we invite our affiliates and all organisations that defend freedom of expression to migrate to other platforms,’ added EFJ General Secretary Ricardo Gutiérrez.

Well … bye. 

The truth, of course, is that Twitter is now a perfectly balanced platform, as even CNN has reported. What all of this whining really means is that the dead media can’t handle not being 100 percent in charge of the conversation and the narrative.

So, like a child who can’t win on an even playing field, the EFJ is taking their ball and going home. 

We’re really going to miss them … NOT. 

Not even a little bit. Remember that the European Union had previously tried to threaten Elon Musk, then had to back off of that because they are authoritarian wannabes, but spineless ones. 

That tracks. 

We may not be able to make it, LOL. 

To be clear, individual journalists who the EFJ represents are still free to tweet or not tweet. This is just their federation that is quitting the public square of free speech. 

We still can’t figure out why they are waiting so long. We’re all holding the exit door open for them right now.

That’s kind of a moral dilemma for them, isn’t it? They probably think they are making some sort of symbolic statement. 

We think it’s more likely they’re giving themselves seven weeks to reconsider. That will be fun if that happens.

Yep. Pretty much. 

HAHAHAHAHAHA. 

They think so much more highly of themselves than the rest of the world does. 

It didn’t have to be this way. But they have only themselves to blame. 

We were able to track down a video of the EFJ President and General Secretary making their statement. Here it is: 

OK, we may have made that up. But we think we were pretty close.

VandeHai’s tantrum was epic. And also delicious. 

They are all such drama queens. 

That’s the part that hurts them the most. They do not matter. We all know it and statements like these reveal that they likely know it too. 

Oh, they’re probably already there. We hope they don’t mind the stench. 

Out of curiosity, we checked the other tweets from the EFJ. None of them ever get any engagement. This is the only recent tweet of theirs that got any views or attention … and it was just to laugh at them and ratio them into oblivion. 

Despite the EFJ trying to blame Elon Musk for its departure, none of this is, in fact, rocket science. 

It’s very simple: 

The legacy media journos have been lying apparatchiks for years. Twitter exposed them — and continues to expose them — for who and what they are and they hate it.

The media could try to earn back some level of trust by doing some self-reflection, or it could continue its death spiral of irrelevance by refusing to have any sense of self-awareness. 

It is clear which of those two paths the European Federation of Journalists has taken. 

Yeah, well … good luck with that.
