Ehh this is all so vague, both Yglesias's original thread and my disagreement with it, and I"m not sure it's benefited from getting specific. Who cares if I find some random tweets supporting my point, I'm sure you can find counter tweets. This ironically is the problem with a lot of modern journalism in a nutshell, tweet hunting to support narratives. In any case my opinion is that a lot of journalists (at least the active ones, not the ones with auto-tweets of their stories) really enjoy twitter and really enjoy being "a blue checkmark" and are annoyed that their club is no longer exclusive. This annoyance has been verbalized in a myriad of criticisms of musk, the new system, etc. Edit: because I can’t completely punt I did remember seeing this tweet which amazingly has 85k likes https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1587508595553353729 https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1587508595553353729 Which blew my mind, oh course not completely representative of all journalists
