Corporate media and their progressive friends have spent the last nine days championing Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s new social network, “Threads,” calling it a “Twitter Killer” and prophesying the demise of Elon Musk’s free-speech platform.

Threads, the new social media app from Meta Platforms, which appears to be a copy of Twitter, was released on July 5 and quickly gained more than a hundred million users in the first five days of existence. There has been tremendous hype about Threads from all corners of uber-progressive corporate media, such as The New York Times, which penned a piece titled “Threads, Instagram’s ‘Twitter Killer,’ Has Arrived.” Federal-funded NRP News wrote, “Is Threads really a ‘Twitter killer’? Here’s what we know so far.” And here’s a CBS News article titled “Meta’s “Twitter killer” app Threads is here – and you can get a cheat code to download it.”
