Matt Taibbi's 'Twitter Files' drew sharply polarized reaction on Friday

Left-leaning journalists were quick to dismiss them as meaningless

Many took aim at Taibbi, accusing him of 'bad reporting' and 'PR work'

Meanwhile conservatives touted the release as a major revelation

Left-wing journalists have unsurprisingly rushed to smear reporter Matt Taibbi for releasing Elon Musk's explosive 'Twitter Files'.

Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, gave Taibbi access to the documents, which he began to publish excerpts of on the social media site on Friday evening. 

The documents included internal Twitter emails appearing to show staffers removing tweets showing a nude Hunter Biden at the behest of Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign.
