Elon Musk blasted the New York Occasions Saturday for its refusal to cowl the continuing firestorm over political censorship at Twitter — damning the newspaper as a “lobbying agency for far-left politicians.”

The slam got here in response to a tweet from conservative radio host Clay Travis, who had posted that “not one single article about @elonmusk or the @twitter electronic mail launch” that dropped Friday had appeared within the Grey Girl’s pages or on its web site.

“That's as a result of The New York Occasions has turn into, for all intents and functions, an unregistered lobbying agency for far-left politicians,” Musk responded.

The New York Occasions has but to weigh in on Twitter’s political censorship.

The bombshell report documenting Democratic strain that led Twitter censors to silence The Publish and its protection of Hunter Biden’s laptop computer forward of the 2020 presidential election remained absent from the Occasions’s web site — in addition to that of its primary competitor, the Washington Publish — Saturday afternoon.

“No matter your politics are,” Travis continued, “for those who’re in media and also you don’t suppose new revelations about essentially the most extreme censorship of a newspaper’s story in huge tech historical past isn’t a narrative worthy of protecting you aren’t a journalist you’re a propagandist.”
