On Thursday, the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on the bombshell Twitter Files and the implication of the government colluding with Big Tech to censor free speech. The lively hearing featured two of the Twitter Files authors, Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi. And throughout, Democrats tried to demean their work and lambaste the free press as their reporting has reflected poorly on their friends in the federal bureaucracy.

Of course, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were not interested and ignored the story on their flagship Thursday evening and Friday morning newscasts. Instead, they spend 44 minutes and seven seconds previewing Sunday’s Oscars, otherwise known as Hollywood’s biggest night of self-gratification.

The Fox News Channel’s flagship evening newscast, however, took a different tract as Special Report opened with a three-minute-and-two-second report. Host Bret Baier announced:

[B]reaking tonight, a pair of journalists who were permitted to see, through sources, internal communications at Twitter testified today before a House Committee on the so-called Weaponization of the Federal Government. Republicans who control that committee are trying to show a link between censorship of conservatives, the Biden administration, and the FBI. Democrats today tried to push back in a fiery hearing.
