As I expected, a substantial chunk of the Main Stream Media is not taking Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter very well. This is particularly true of folks at media companies owned by billionaires such as WaPo.
This headline from the NYT probably sums up the Main Stream Media’s reaction—Twitter Under Elon Musk Will Be a Scary Place.
Indeed, it likely would be scary for them to have to compete with uncensored reporting of Facts that contradict The Narrative.
That’s what Elon Musk is promising, but the deal hasn’t finally closed, and we haven’t seen how much change will come or how quickly.
Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to those changes, and I will wait to see them before I make changes of my own. Come back around midnight to read a bit more.
I wonder what Jeff Bezos, the owner of WaPo, thinks about billionaire ownership of mass media. Actually, I don’t wonder at all about how he feels.
