#1 I told you people that MSM would not cover this story. The sad fact is, I know lots of people who won't believe that Twitter censored the most important story of 2020 until mainstream media outlets come clean. Dunno what it will take for that to happen. It's no good trying to talk to them. Here's what CBS is saying this morning:

Trump claims grounds for "termination" of U.S. Constitution

Here is all the article says about Twitter:

Trump's latest comments, issued Saturday in a post on his "Truth Social" media platform, came in response to a report by journalist Matt Taibbi that showed Twitter employees deliberating in October 2020 about how to handle a New York Post article about a laptop belonging to President Biden's son Hunter Biden. Taibbi reported that both the Biden campaign and the Trump White House had communicated with Twitter about content on the platform.

Trump claimed the conversations between Twitter and political officials had revealed "a massive fraud" so serious that it "allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."

Trump also called again for a redo of the 2020 election, renewing his false claim to have won the vote. Trump has kept up a steady drumbeat of false statements about that election, despite his own officials telling him, and the nation, months ago that it was not "stolen," as he claims.

#3 Here is all the article says about Twitter:

The Times of Israel, clearly taking up the story from American newsfeeds, pretty much quotes that verbatim — with the same interpretation. Low information voters on the right will cheer on the claimed position, low info. voters on the left will use it to buttress their hatred of all things Trump, while high info. voters on the left will nod approvingly at the old Twitter behaving righteously. The only ones to object will be the high-knowledge group on the right, who’ll know better than to believe the traditional media’s take on the story.

Instapundit has the original post here.

#4 A high information conservative voter has already tuned out both MSM and social media other to look at either and be reminded it's all dreck, tripe, bunk, etc.

#5 This would be a good time to blame Twitter for foisting the destructive Biden upon the world. The left must be confident they can steel 2024 without the news blackout of DEM corruption.

#6 /\ Twitter had many helpers. They must all be dug up and disposed of before 2024.
