How would we know that Twitter has become a ghost town?

Another Black man falsely accused of a crime and arrested because of a bad facial recognition search. Fourth or so we know about; probably many more we don't. Arrested while driving to a family Thanksgiving and kept in jail for 7 days, even though he'd never been in the same state as the crime scene

The North Shore Leader broke the Santos story and now media critics are saying that the failure of it to impact the election is somehow the fault of the public, which is letting little papers die. This doesn’t seem right.

Why aren’t the bigger papers reading the smaller papers in their regions and amplifying and crediting their reporting when they break news?
