Is the "time to publication" a useful metric, when the cost is accuracy? Once something incorrect is published, it has a lot more weight than a retraction/correction.

I agree with you but I don't think that was the real essence of their criticism. It was more about releasing actual primary sources instead of a heavily edited version of their own narrative with very little of the prinary source remaining.

Tabloids aren’t new. Ever checked out the headlines in print at a grocery store check-out? If the NYPost want to be The Publication Who Cried Wolf and everything that comes with that reputation, let them.

Weren't they still able to do it on their own properties? Twitter has decided it doesn't want to amplify this kind of content, that seems reasonable.

If that’s what you need to call it to be able to justify censorship to yourself, sure.

It's not- I should have clarified in my comment. I was just showing an example timeline. The child commenter with the bit about the narrative and primary source removal is correct.
