Elon Musk's "Twitter Files" Revelations Regarding Hunter Biden Spark Outrage From the Left Wing Media, "Hack Stuff"

Left wing media pundits have gone into overdrive since Friday night doing their very best to discredit Elon Musk and journalist Matt Tabibbi for the release of the so called “Twitter Files.”

Via Fox News:

“Liberal pundits rushed to discredit a bombshell Twitter thread from Elon Musk and Substack journalist Matt Taibbi revealing the internal communications of Twitter employees and U.S. lawmakers surrounding the censorship of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.

The revelations, dubbed the “Twitter Files,” were posted on the social media platform Friday night by Taibbi at the behest of Musk, who provided emails and other documents showing the inner workings of how Twitter had engaged in censorship prior to the 2020 presidential elections, including quashing the Post’s story.

Among the revelations was that Twitter staff had open channels with powerful third parties, including members of both political parties, so that they could flag tweets they deemed problematic and have them “handled.” Taibbi asserted that because there were more liberals within Twitter, requests to throttle conservative accounts were fielded more.

Most notably were the documents Taibbi unveiled showing communications among high level Twitter employees who eventually agreed to emergency moderation measures to stop the spread of the Hunter Biden story, even though many of them were worried they had little justification to employ such measures.

One revealing email depicted former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth apparently claiming that though “the facts remain unclear” on whether the New York Post story could be stifled, he encouraged staff to muzzle it in light of the “lessons of 2016.”

Though liberals on the platform did their best to downplay the information revealed in the “Files,” with several of them resorting to attempts at bullying Taibbi and Musk.”

Here are a few examples:

Elon is spending the evening trying to embarrass someone who’s struggled with addiction so that he can juice engagement on the platform he bought that’s hemorrhaging money.

To leap to political contributions as the reason the right was more often reported for rule breaking is just bad reasoning and really bad reporting. Good thing this guy doesn’t have an editor. https://t.co/V5r8PSUu0y

So Twitter was acting under orders of the government except Biden wasn’t POTUS in 2020. And it’s a First Amendment violation except Twitter can’t violate 1A as a private biz. And the takedown requests from team Biden were nudes against Twitter’s TOS. But going great otherwise!

The response from the media regarding the Hunter Biden revelations contained in the “Twitter Files” is disturbing but also predictable.

The vast majority of those who work in the mainstream media these days are nothing more than political hacks disguised as journalists.
