It’s a huge bombshell with stunning revelations. Or is it?
With the so-called “Twitter Files,” Elon Musk is openly engaged in a game of information warfare, one that is shining a spotlight on the fragmented and partisan state of the modern day media landscape.
Led by Fox News, the right-wing media machine is treating the ongoing series of stories as if they were the next Pentagon Papers, breathlessly hyping each new batch of documents as earth-shattering scoops that illuminate horrific abuses of power by woke Twitter overlords of yesteryear.
In that distorted universe, Musk is being hailed a hero at the center of one of the biggest stories of 2022.
The establishment press, however, has shown far less interest in the documents themselves, with most news organizations outright ignoring various entries in the continuing series. The right-wing media apparatus pushing the story has, naturally, asserted that the mum reaction is effectively because the mainstream press is made up of left-wing hacks who want to hide the truth from the public.

Sort it of ironic that CNN, which is hemorrhaging viewers, attacks Twitter. The FBI told Twitter to expect a Russian disinformation program aimed at Hunter Biden around October. The FBI knew Giuliani was pedaling the computer. The FBI had the computer for a year so they probably knew it was true. I am surprised the media isn’t appalled at the government interfering in a news story. Aren’t they the folks who thump their chest about “ speaking truth to power”? Oh never mind, that is only power they don’t like too whom they speak “ their truth”!

News is not supposed to be partisan. Edward R Murrow would be turning over in his grave.
