Many ‘liberals’ simply don’t care about some of the most basic aspects of liberalism anymore. News coverage of the Twitter Files has been a stark reminder.
The latest installment of the Twitter Files came out over the Christmas holiday alleging that the CIA, FBI and White House had been involved in content moderation on the site, and also that the platform had “rigged” the COVID-19 debate. The ninth report published by Matt Taibbi on Christmas Eve and the latest by David Zweig on Monday have been reported by mainstream outlets, but only barely.
All of the Twitter Files to date, reported by Taibbi along with independent journalists Zweig, Bari Weiss, Michael Shellenberg appear to show massive and widespread cooperation between the federal government and Twitter in regulating basic speech. One might expect such revelations to spark great controversy and generate top headlines.
