What you won’t know if you read only The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph

Search “Twitter” at NYT, on 10 December. Latest story is 7 December!
No mention of the Taibbi and Weiss “Twitter Files” reports on 1A breaches.
Mainly anti-Musk screeds. The ones on hate speech and advertising 
have not stood the test of time (ten days), as hate speech is down and advertising up.
You won’t know that Twitter colluded with the government of the United States to suppress free speech — but only of one party, of conservatives. It’s true a private company is not bound by the First Amendment on free speech, but the government may not collude with a private company to suppress free speech, on its behalf, in any way. And certainly not of an opposition party. ADDED: a different take on this, worth listening to. It’s a complex issue. 

So this would seem to be a pretty big story of the US government breaching the First Amendment (1A) of the Constitution of the United States. Reported by Twitter, via Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, two leftish journos who used to work on the New York Times. Yet nowhere reported in the New York Times and nowhere in the main outlets in Britain. 

This is especially important because Twitter is where the MSM go to test out what stories to run. And what not to run.

But the UK press — “papers of record” — have nothing to say. As Konstantin Kisin shows here at 13:58.

The US media is hardly better, managing to ignore the story almost completely, while Twitter colluded with FBI and the CIA. See also screenshot above. NYT is playing the story like a spoiled child. I don’t like it so I’m plugging my ears, nyah, nyah!
