Elon Musk recently warned that Twitter would begin to pull away from its legacy “verified” checkmarks on April 1, and it seems they are beginning to make good on that promise.
One of the oldest newspapers in the country, the far-left NY Times, has officially lost their verification since they are refusing to pay $8/month.

The Daily Wire adds this, “Twitter did share a link for organizations to sign up for “Verified Organizations,” but a New York Times spokesperson told The Daily Wire that the newspaper is not planning to pay a monthly fee for verified status on its institutional accounts”.
Elon Musk obliterated the left-wing outlet afterwards, comparing their Twitter feed to “diarrhea”
The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting

Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable.
They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles.
Same applies to all publications.
