The old regime at Twitter governed by its own whims and biases and it sure looks like the new regime has the same problem. I oppose it in both cases. And I think those journalists who were reporting on a story of public importance should be reinstated.

Rather than rigorously pursuing truth, you are virtue-signaling to show that you are good in the eyes of media elite to keep one foot in both worlds

I didn't think much of Bari Weiss to begin with. Or Matt Taibbi, who's been writing Twitter Files nothing-burger exposes with her, taking turns posting them.
But at least she has enough integrity left to speak out on Musk's abuse of his power on a socia media platform.
Taibbi, the coward, didn't post one damn thing on Twitter about the journalists being suspended.
Btw, Musk fan bois are telling Weiss they don't trust her any more.
