Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malpractice.
As more of the “Twitter Files” emerge, more denials go up from the press as journalists continue to be unnerved by the revelations. What so many are attempting to deflect from is how just long Twitter executives denied that they had been engaging in these practices, and those denials were echoed by the press. A prime example is in an interview Jack Dorsey gave Brian Stelter.
Another reaction in the press is how many journalists are declaring they are leaving for Mastodon, another social platform. The problem? One study is showing how this is an empty promise on par with all the people who pledged to move to Canada. Also, it has been a week with editors busy rectifying published pieces, Joy Reid has another DeSantis meltdown, and the New York Times makes a curious addition to its Best Dressed list for the year. (Carhartt hoodies are apparently couture.)
Now crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem.
