At least a dozen staffers at the left-wing character assassination outlet Media Matters for America were laid off today. Ordinarily, you could feel sorry for market forces putting people out of work, but that doesn’t apply in this case. There probably haven’t been this many deserving people at the unemployment office since the last left-wing media outlet failed.
No one is talking about why the staffers were sent off to learn to code, but there is a strong suspicion that it is linked to a civil suit filed by tech billionaire Elon Musk. Media Matters went after advertisers on “X,” the platform formerly known as Twitter, based on provably false claims that ads were running side-by-side with racist and otherwise undesirable posts. The point of the attack was clear. Media Matters was trying to create facts that would hurt Musk’s company.
