Notes on media coverage of the Twitter Files:


 * The Washington Post (3 December 2022): But by the time the dust settled Saturday, even some conservatives were grumbling that it was a dud. Musk’s Twitter Files produced no smoking gun showing that the tech giant had bent to the will of Democrats.
 * Forbes (4 December 2022): despite Musk’s hype, it doesn’t deliver any particular shocking new details.
 * Al Jazeera (7 December 2022): Taibbi’s publication of the files drew a polarised response over the weekend. While media figures and politicians on the right cast the documents as confirmation of Twitter’s liberal bias and hostility to free speech, many on the left described it as a non-story that simply showed the platform’s good-faith efforts to grapple with difficult moderation decisions.
 * Fox News (7 December 2022): As Fox News Digital reported Friday, the Twitter Files were a bombshell Twitter thread from Substack journalist Matt Taibbi revealing the internal communications of Twitter employees and U.S. lawmakers surrounding the censorship of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.
