The media fear losing their gatekeeper rights on Twitter

I don’t know what changes Elon Musk is going to make to Twitter. Will he allow permanently banned accounts, such as that belonging to a former president, to return to the social media platform? You know, that same platform that acts as the center of the universe for journalists?

Who knows. But what I do know is that things can’t get much worse. Twitter has become an ideological bubble meant to shield the most powerful and privileged people on the left side of the political aisle. It has become a gatekeeping tool for corporate journalists and progressive influencers. A platform that bans users over jokes like “learn to code” and tweeting the wrong emojis at a transgender person. Blowing Twitter up and starting over is necessary.
