It's wild that journalists loved Twitter. I think because it helped them feel like they were connected to the populace and learning about what people cared about.

But in reality, journos were being manipulated by the algorithm. Some journalists talked about that a lot, but maybe that never made it through to the mainstream journalists' feeds...

The "popularity" of Trump, the Republican party, and the constant Red Wave narratives all come from the Twitter algorithm. Not reality. But journos boosted those narratives in their stories because that's what they read from the algorithm that was designed to feed them the most outrageous stories.

The journalistic hubris here, in spite of the yelling done by many, is what I hope will be highlighted and corrected for. But I'm not holding my breath.
