Last I looked Twitter is not a media outlet, and FAIR generally doesn’t report on anything that that hasn’t already been reported. Calling it biased is rich. Biased reporting is SOP in the mainstream media,and gives FAIR more subject matter than it can handle. If FAIR published a report about Twitter or Musk, it was most likely to shed light on crappy reporting about them, that brain-dead John Doe’s think is the unvarnished truth.

If Twitter is not a media outlet that FAIR concerns itself with, then why did they write a whole article about how Twitter is still state affiliated media that Caitlin Johnstone just used as her primary source? It had nothing to do with critiquing others' reporting. The title is "Under Musk, Twitter Continues to Promote US Propaganda Networks." They even briefly comment on some of the Twitter Files, before swiftly moving on to how Musk and Twitter are failing in every way.

The article could just have easily been written, "Musk's Twitter Files Uncover Extensive Collaboration Between Multiple State Agencies and Social Media Platforms." But FAIR instead decided to stick to mainstream liberal narratives by down-playing the Twitter Files and instead running character assassination on Musk and Twitter. Shameful reporting really. The FBI coerces social media platforms to censor a politically sensitive story before an election, and this is what FAIR thinks is important?

If you can't see it I think you might be beholden to the Liberal Narrative Matrix. Try poking your head outside it, like Caitlin is always suggesting, and you might discover a different way of looking at the world.
