Journalists who would never, ever consider working for Fox "News" continue to give their work -- free -- to Twitter.

They surely know that they're supporting a business controlled -- and manipulated in ugly ways -- by someone at least as malign as Rupert Murdoch. They're giving aid and comfort to someone who hates journalism and amplifies anti-democracy memes.

They could, instead, use the fediverse and control their own destinies.

How can they be helped to grasp this?

They aren't journalists. They're on twitter because writing an "article" by just printing a few tweets is easy.

Half news articles are two lines for actual news followed by a bunch of twitter posts.
