Twitter becoming intolerably right-wing propaganda and slop drove most left-wing folks off. But journalists mainly stayed.
The journalists were wallowing in almost exclusively bogus "news", right-wing propaganda, and lots of other nonsense... and their reporting reflected that.
Of course, their billionaire bosses forbid them from posting actual journalism too. (We saw that most publicly with endorsements of Harris being blocked.)
This has an impact. 🙁
