Left-wing journos attack reporter Matt Taibbi for exposing Musk’s Twitter files
New York Post ^ | December 3, 2022 | Mary Kay Linge

Mainstream news reporters — in lockstep with Democratic strategists — rushed to social media to smear journalist Matt Taibbi as a “sad” “fraud” as he released his bombshell report on political censorship at Twitter.

“Matt Taibbi…what sad, disgraceful downfall,” Daily Beast columnist and New York Times contributor Wajahat Ali posted. “Selling your soul for the richest white nationalist on Earth.”

On Friday, billionaire Elon Musk — who vowed to give the social media giant a free-speech overhaul when he bought it last month — released to Taibbi a shocking collection of inside correspondence proving that Democrat insiders leaned on Twitter’s censors to suppress The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

By attacking the messenger (Taibbi) and not the message, they only bring credibility to what he reported.

Do any real, native reporters really want to stick their necks out to attack Tiabbi?

Not really - that's another reason why the deep-state imports foreigners for American social media.

Lies even after the truth is exposed. Those who push censorship are the ones who fear the truth and are protecting lies.

That’s true if you’re a thinking person. To a large portion of the public, attacking the messenger invalidates the information presented.

Sad, but sometimes it can be true.

I guess then 2+2=4 would then be false if the one saying it is one liberals hate.

“2 minutes of hate” and all...

There's a reason people trust used car salesmen more than journalists.

Leftists are quick to provide their non-thinking knee jerk response by tossing out their current favorite cliched label “white nationalist”.

One part of the story that I do not believe is that Jack Dorsey was out of the loop on the suppression of the laptop information. The NYP was silenced for what? Three weeks? I’m sure Dorsey was aware of such and Musk wants us to believe Dorsey didn’t follow-up and find who made such a decision and why a major newspaper’s story on such an explosive story was banned? Not credible!
