A Monday search on CNN\u2019s website for \u201cTwitter Files\u201d turns up zero search results for any coverage of the independent journalists\u2019 ongoing investigations. <\/p>\n<p>The media blackout is odd, considering that the first five parts of the ongoing series have covered some of the corporate media\u2019s previously favorite topics such as the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and Twitter\u2019s subsequent banning of former President Donald Trump, which have received in-depth coverage for the last two years. <\/p>\n<p>Other significant findings uncovered in the documents Musk turned over to Weiss and Taibbi include the role former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker played in Twitter\u2019s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and the tech company\u2019s frequent secret meetings with federal intelligence agencies in the run-up to the 2020 election. While most Americans are not frequent users of Twitter, the company\u2019s relationship with government intelligence agencies and its apparent influence on federal elections is undeniably worthy of major network coverage. <\/p>\n<p>   Madeline Osburn is managing editor at The Federalist.
