(𝕏)-Shortly after President-Elect Donald Trump won, reports from legacy media indicated both Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo were being considered for prominent roles in his administration. I was furious. I was ready to write an article, do a segment about it on my show, and rant about it on 𝕏.
Thankfully, something told me to wait. The anonymous sources cited, who were allegedly tied to the Trump campaign and transition teams, didn’t give any details. I held my frustration in check.
The next day, Trump declared on Truth Social and 𝕏 that neither were going to be part of his next administration.
We’ve learned over the last eight years to never trust legacy media. In fact, many of us have come to the conclusion that everything not directly reported by the source should be treated as disinformation. The Haley/Pompeo story was not isolated as an example of legacy media and/or their “sources” promoting a narrative that they HOPE to be true.
Elon Musk has often said that 𝕏 is now the media. Specifically, 𝕏 USERS are the new media. There are very compelling reasons why this is not only true but definitely should be the case. First and foremost, the speed at which news and videos can be widely disseminated through social media is unmatched.
Then, there’s the instant vetting. With speed comes haste and with haste comes mistakes. But if something is not true and spreads on 𝕏, it is usually quickly debunked. This is easy on the platform because the truth can come out in comments. For example, “news” spread quickly the other day that Justice Clarence Thomas was about to retire. The account that first shared a screenshot allegedly from RT America was popular and other popular accounts started spreading it as well.
I checked into the screenshot and learned that it was from a parody account that mimicked RT America. I posted this information as a comment and the rumor died. From the initial post to the revelation that it was fake, around 17-minutes passed. That almost never happens on legacy media when they make “mistakes.” Retractions or corrections can take hours or even days if they ever come at all.
This leads to the third of many reasons 𝕏 is the place for news. It’s interactive. The comments on popular news, opinion, and video posts can often be more informative than the original story. We can chime in instantly and interact with others who chime in. That simply cannot happen on legacy media. Even their websites with comments sections do not have anywhere near the engagement as replies on 𝕏.
Back to President Trump. He currently posts first on Truth Social since it’s his and then later on 𝕏. But even with the delay to get to 𝕏, others invariably screen-capture his Truth Social posts and publish them on 𝕏 so there’s not much of a delay. This is the way it should be.
Sunday, two legacy media reports caught my attention. The first referenced a statement he made that he would “most likely” pardon some January 6 political prisoners on his first day back in office. Since I won’t be watching “Meet the Press” anytime soon I cannot confirm nor can I hear it in context. It would have been much better if he made a text or video post on the topic in addition to the interview on legacy media just so his exact thoughts on the matter could be disseminated.
The second report from NBC News says Trump will not ask Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to step down. This DEFINITELY needs more context which should come from Trump or his staff directly.
While I am not suggesting the President of the United States needs to be on 𝕏 all day, it would be extremely beneficial for his staff to maintain and monitor direct communication with the American people constantly. I’m not talking about the occasional posts we see from the various departments. I’m talking about opening the floodgates to let it all flow out.
This will allow them to inform us without the biased filter of legacy media and their wonky interpretations. It would also give us a way to respond. The President has always been open to hearing from the people. 𝕏 gives him the perfect way to do that.
The last and arguably most important reason the Trump White House should go all-in on communicating through 𝕏 is to prevent legacy media from spinning so much with their sources and rumors. 𝕏 posts can happen in real time. Information can reach the people before legacy media can butcher the truth or even manufacture their own narratives.
As a journalist, I would much rather have a firehose of information flowing directly and officially from the White House rather than sifting through the propaganda spewed forth by legacy media while searching for a nugget of truth.
As an American, I don’t want to have to question every report from legacy media, wondering if their information is real or manufactured. We want to hear the facts coming directly from the sources.
𝕏 is the easiest way to cut through the lies and keep as many Americans as possible aware about what’s really going on.
