Should the Left be so afraid of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter? Many certainly are afraid. Twitter is a relatively small social-media service, but it is the playpen of the mainstream media. It’s where journalists and other media figures go to discover the conventional wisdom, and to participate in its creation. The New York Times carried no fewer than five alarmed articles about the purchase on its homepage last Thursday.
A Democratic strategist told Politico that the change of ownership is “an earthquake,” and that Musk may allow Donald Trump back on to “spread any lies he wants about the election, voting machines, etc.” Does no one remember the week in 2020 where liberals were taking photos of postal trucks and boxes and spreading the rumor that Donald Trump was stealing the election via the Postal Service?
