STORY OF THE WEEK: Troves of communications between Twitter and government agencies about misinformation, foreign influence campaigns, moderating content, and banning accounts have been made public as part of elonmusk's 'Twitter Files.'
Right-rated sources have covered the Twitter Files prominently, especially those involving Hunter Biden. Left- and center-rated sources have seldom covered the releases; a few covered the release about Twitter and the Pentagon.
Some, especially people skeptical of the current administration and big government in general, frame the releases as concrete evidence of the government and Twitter working together to manipulate popular narratives, particularly against conservatives and in favor of the Biden family.
