A complete non-story. Putting Biden's message in only one place was the right move. Releasing in one place at one time prevents early leaks. Sadly Twitter is the most convenient place to put it.
The white house has their own website, they should really release stuff like that on there, and people can then post the link to it on whatever social media they choose.
Well, I can't say I blame him. I'm sure he feels pretty isolated or unsure of who he cares to trust in his normal circles right now after all the bullshit over the past few weeks. Better to get the statement out first instead of telling some staffers who might leak it immediately. He owned the moment, so good for him.
Ehh, it makes sense. This is thunderous news, and whitehouse admins are always leaky sieves. You can't share this beforehand at all except to likely a literal handful of people.
When its time for it to go public, you post it on what is sadly still the biggest network possible, so it hits all the airwaves at once. Once its posted, it becomes "the one and only" statement. They arent going to summarize it in an email that would clearly leak. They maybe could have copy/pasted, but I dont see this as a big deal.
I don't think anyone should be using "X" at this point. I sure as fuck am not going on some fascist oligarch network to receive communications from my boss or elected officials. They need to find something else.
While I agree it makes some sense to not warn the team ahead of time, pointing employees to twitter for an announcement like this is absurd. Like, how hard would it be to attach the same document to the very same email they sent out telling them to go to twitter?
I didn't know Biden hid treasure somewhere in the world, and now he basically wants his staffers to be pirates looking for the X? Now this is getting a lot more exciting.
