Reporters against reporting

“…On Friday Elon Musk released the first in a number of installments in the Twitter files. As Jazz pointed out on Friday there wasn’t anything particularly shocking the recent revelations, mostly because we already knew Twitter moderation was fundamentally corrupt.

Jazz was more disappointed than I, but that is as much about what I think Musk’s strategy is. I think this is a buildup, not a dump. He is milking this for all it is worth. I expect the revelations to get more and more interesting, but perhaps I am just being optimistic. Maybe Twitter was just engaged in groupthink, not a conspiracy. It’s possible. Groupthink is powerful.

The MSM is having a mental breakdown over the revelations. Their favorite toy, Twitter, has been taken away from them and they will never forgive Musk.

Yet their real anger now is being directed at reporter Matt Taibbi, formerly of Rolling Stone and now a star on Substack. He, along with Glenn Greenwald and Bari Weiss has built a huge following on the platform, filling a void in the current news landscape: former mainstream reporters who have defected from the MSM due to disgust with the rejection of journalistic standards.

Musk is releasing the Twitter files through Taibbi, and the media Elite™ are in full attack mode against Taibbi. Utterly unhinged attacks.

Utterly unhinged and totally coordinated attacks. Almost as if there is an official MSM Narrative™ they are trying to push…”
