   No matter how much contempt Musk demonstrates for news media, it seems clear that Big Journalism will continue to support the site.

   No matter how he mocks his pretense of believing in free speech, it seems clear that Big Journalism will continue to support the site.

   This makes me sad for a craft I love, and for people for whom (in most cases) I otherwise have abiding respect.

     I am NOT saying journalism should leave Twitter this minute (though that would be gratifying).

     I am saying news orgs and journalists should announce their intention to do so, and move expeditiously to places like this.
