Musk says corporate media ignoring Twitter revelations

 Just the News:

Twitter CEO and increasingly contentious cultural critic Elon Musk this week slammed mainstream media for what he indicated was a lackluster response to the bombshell "Twitter files" his company has released over the last several weeks. 

Those files have revealed a wide-ranging and at times conspiratorial effort by Twitter moderators to censor and restrict huge portions of speech on the platform, particularly those surrounding COVID-19 and President Joe Biden's family. 

On Tuesday, responding to a writer's Substack post regarding "the extent to which the corporate media has become the propaganda arm of the state," Musk wrote on Twitter: "Why is corporate journalism rushing to defend the state instead of the people?"

"Why would anyone trust corpo journalism?" he wrote later.

...

Elsewhere, following a CNBC commentator's claim that Musk's "reputation with Twitter is impacting his reputation when it comes to all of his companies," Musk himself responded: "The legacy media should worry about its reputation. We have only just begun."

...

The corporate media has its agenda and it tries to shape the facts to fit that agenda.  They see Musk as a threat to that agenda.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
