   Conservatives have been shouting about Twitter's partisan meddling for   
   years -- and now we have the smoking gun proof to back it up.   
   Shockingly, it was even worse than we thought.   
      
   It had long been suspected that Twitter was, before Elon Musk bought   
   it, regularly engaging in a massive fraud against the principles of   
   free speech and creating a slanted public forum. Now it's demonstrably   
   true, based on the words of those who were running it.   
      
   That's we have learned so far from what journalist Matt Taibbi has   
   dubbed the "Twitter Files." It's a compilation of emails from inside of   
   Twitter that show the company was -- at the highest level -- deeply   
   partisan, and became a ruthless tool of left-wing censorship on a range   
   of key issues and critical election moments.   
      
   Most famously, there was Twitter's suppression of the New York Post   
   Hunter Biden laptop story in 2022. The justification from the social   
   media giant for shutting that down never made sense, and now we can see   
   they knew that too. It was all total bull.   
      
   That act of pure election meddling had nothing to do with "hacked   
   materials" and everything to do with Democrats' gaining power.  It was   
   dishonest. It was bad faith. And it may well have thrown them the 2020   
   election.   
      
   But the "Twitter Files" are still in their opening act. Matt Taibbi and   
   Elon Musk himself have made clear that a whole range of internal   
   documents will soon be shared with the public. And the Democrats may   
   face a reckoning that stretches all the way up to the White House.

   It's hard to believe the people running Twitter were so stupid as to   
   leave those Emails on the computers.
