With new Twitter files, Musk forces a free-speech reckoning for politicians and pundits | The Hill

You don t need a state ministry of information if the media voluntarily maintains official narratives and suppresses dissenting views. And what emerges from these files is the notion of an effective state media in America an alliance of media, business and political figures who act, not out of government compulsion, but out of personal conviction.

Just as Twitter suppressed dissenting or opposing views in a myriad of ways, many in the media are minimizing coverage of this scandal.
