The second installment of “Twitter Files” were released by former New York Times and Wall Street Journal journalist Bari Weiss, detailing alleged “shadow banning” of conservative voices on the social media platform before billionaire Elon Musk purchased the company. Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt wondered why there wasn’t more reporting on it.
In a tweet, Hewitt noted that The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal all had front page reports on Arizona Senator Kristen Sinema declaring she was leaving the Democratic party to become an independent.
He then asked why “the big three” don’t have any stories about “old twitter” or “Twitter BE (before Elon) on their homepage, simply asking “When?”.
Hewitt’s questioning of the three newspapers was part of a longer Twitter thread where he asserted that “legacy media wants to be careful” about the story, noting that Fox News and Al Jazeera were the only outlets he saw that had included the story on the front page of its website.
