The Twitter Files blacked out by mainstream news
In a move that's eerily reminiscent of 2020, mainstream media opts to ignore the Twitter files entirely.

In a move that surprises no one, the biggest mainstream news companies have largely refused to even acknowledge the damning leaks coming out of the Twitter files. And when they do, it’s with derisive snark and thinly-veiled envy.
Where have we seen this conspiracy of silence before? Oh yeah, 2020 with the Hunter Biden laptop story. It’s just that Twitter is the facilitator of these revelations, not a driving force in suppressing them.
There have been a rash of journalists and people in the mainstream and independent news spaces who have decried the Twitter files releases for one reason or another.
Leftist blue check journalists have called the Twitter files drops a “nothingburger” — a baffling take considering these are the exact same people who hyped up actual hoaxes like Jussie Smollett and Russiagate. The former examples have largely been scrubbed from the internet, though the latter still exist if you know where to look, as not everyone curated their posts correctly to appear 100% factual all the time. Not that the next subject I’m going to speak about has ever been 100% factual. 10% on a good day is the best he can hope for.
Mehdi Hasan of MSNBC said this in 2019 about Trump and Russia, effectively implying that he believed Russiagate was 100% real.
So imagine my shock™ when I find that he also joined in the “PR for a billionaire” tweet storm from other NPCs like himself.
Professional crybully and hack Taylor Lorenz, whose notoriety is well-warranted for her act of doxxing Libs of Tik Tok, also made a similar tongue-in-cheek accusation toward Taibbi.
For her part, I would say it’s a question of outright jealousy. Maybe she would feel differently about this story if it had been run through the Jeff Bezos news filter of the Washington Post.
Oh, didn’t I mention? The Washington Post is also strangely silent on this story. Jeff Bezos has never forgiven Elon Musk for winning the NASA contract over his penis rocket company, Blue Balls, or whatever it was called. I don’t feel like googling it. It’s of no consequence, either way.
Those publications who do acknowledge the Twitter Files choose not to cover it seriously, sticking by the ‘nothingburger’ narrative, or outright claiming the revelations contained within ‘hurts us all’. That’s where MSNBC falls on the spectrum.
MSNBC proceeds to attempt to obfuscate the Twitter Files by claiming that privatized subversion of God-given Constitutional rights is well within the bounds of the parameters set by the Bill of Rights. That is patently false and I think further clarification is necessary, but that’s an undertaking a Democrat-controlled Congress will never undertake. Nevertheless, MSNBC proves once again just how anti-American and detached from reality they are.
Their comparable reputation to CNN for being fake garbage commentary with a smattering of highly perverted facts laced into the mix to attempt a mockery of factual reporting is well-warranted. Oh, and let’s get into that trainwreck of a network, while we’re at it.
CNN’s reported facelift under new CEO Chris Licht see the company moving away from hard partisan leftist bias in their reporting, though that was short-lived. It was a facade the whole time, as we find they have also been mum on the Twitter files revealing things like suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story which effectively manipulated the result of the 2020 election, COVID narratives that run counter to the official lies we’ve been force-fed through Dr. Death himself, Anthony Fauci, and the platform’s old guard regularly colluding and conspiring with leftist government officials to suppress right-wing, and opposing voices in general.
No, those stories weren’t interesting enough for them, so this effectively proves that CNN plans to continue running interference for the leftist establishment. Their redemption arc at least lasted longer than that of Jack Dorsey.
I could go on all day throwing these leftist institutional media conglomerates and their useful idiots under the bus of cold, hard truth afforded to us by the Twitter files and just the general failings of big media, but I wasn’t planning on publishing a Substack novel today.
This whole situation just proves why people like those responsible for releasing the Twitter Files are, along with myself. Yes, I did it. I lumped myself in. At least I haven’t sold my soul.
I refuse to stop speaking proper truth to power not filtered through a golden muzzle. Though to be fair, no one has offered me a golden muzzle yet, so we will see how I handle it when the One Ring™ is dangled in front of me. For now, I pass the test. And so does Matt Taibbi, along with Michael Shellenberger, and last but not least; Bari Weiss.
I thank them for their continued revelations, even if I do wish they would order things chronologically a bit better.
