UPDATE: After CNN's Jake Tapper questioned Rep. Brian Mast's (R-FL) commitment to democracy, Mast, who lost two legs while serving in Afghanistan, responded to Tapper on Twitter. 'I lost two legs. Jake Tapper's 'swear on the Bible' interview with Ted Crockett started trending again. While some on Twitter swooned over Jake's appearance, others also shared a 2017 clip of a conversation between the CNN host and Ted Crockett, a spokesman for Sen.

On Friday evening the Twitter account of The New York Post was restored to full operation after the social network has previously restricted it under its policy forbidding the publication of hacked materials for spreading stories about emails allegedly taken from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Twitter's restoration of the account followed a Friday morning tweet from CNN anchor Jake Tapper advising TheNew York Post to essentially back down from Twitter by deleting the tweets that initially led to its account being locked.

'Since twitter has locked out the NYPost for violating rules that no longer stand as rules (but twitter won't revisit past enforcement decisions) the NY Post COULD end this standoff by deleting the tweets that broke the rules (thus unlocking its account) then tweet them out again,' Tapper wrote.

Rather than backing down, The New York Post just waited until Twitter reversed its decision. If the Post had deleted its tweet, it would've lost the original reach and engagement it had on the original tweets.

Yesterday, Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize winner and founder of The Intercept, announced his resignation from the publication, alleging censorship from major media outlets of any reporting that is overtly critical of Joe Biden.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

The never-ending coverage of the 2020 presidential election has given us several pretty incrediblemedia moments. On Thursday night, CNN's Jake Tapper got in on the action.

Tapper saw a tweet from former college football coach Tommy Tuberville, who just won a senate seat in Alabama. He responded viciously and it was pretty great. He also tossed in some Auburn shade as well.

Tuberville took to Twitter and gave credence to the conspiracy theories being tossed around by Donald Trump's supporters:

That tweet was out of bounds according to Twitter's guidelines and was slapped with a warning label. Tapper has spent the better part of the last two days combating that kind of misinformation. He's probably just a little fed up and he shot back at Tuberville:

Someone get Tommy an icepack to cool off that burn.

Tapper continued:

I can't imagine being a cable network personality this week. They're all overworked, likely overtired and have been rehashing and repeating themselves for three days now. They've got to be exhausted by all the misinformation they've been combating and dealing with.
