Schiff and Twitter
-
From the RWEC:
"Remember when new algorithms and/or Elon Musk’s pique over the tracking of his private jet resulted in the temporary suspension of journalists? The mainstream media (and others) shrieked over the Danger to Journalism, Democracy Dying in Darkness, and the corporate silencing of dissent and scrutiny on Twitter over seven-day suspensions. Musk eventually reversed them within a day, but media platforms warned that the new management at Twitter was a threat to the Republic, or something.
Oddly, though, all of the same outlets seem veeeerrrrry quiet about one key revelation in last night’s Twitter Files tranche. John wrote about the overall lessons of Matt Taibbi’s new release, but one point in particular requires its own focus. And that is Adam Schiff’s attempt as House Intel chair to ban a journalist from the Twitter platform entirely. And while previous Twitter management balked at it initially, they eventually suspended RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry."
