So, around 4 days ago:

The station's usually prolific account, which has nearly 20 million followers, hasn't tweeted in days.

The station has not offered a public explanation of the blackout but numerous reports suggested it was the consequence of a falling out between Fox News and Twitter. The outage came shortly after protestors went to presenter Tucker Carlson's house, after posting his address online – which the network appears to believe was taken down too slowly.

A boycott? Or something else?

@williamlegate

This tweet becomes 100x more interesting once you consider this meeting started around the same time Fox News's Twitter account went dark.

An empty Capitol, but Mitch McConnell is receiving visitors. Rupert Murdoch in this case.

It didn't make sense that Fox News would be staging a Twitter boycott without blowing their own horn about it via other outlets, and encouraging their followers to do the same. So it seems more plausible that something else is up... something involving their relationship with Trump and the Republicans.

Now, apparently, the National Enquirer and other outlets of fake news have also gone silent on Twitter:

@DaleRutz 53 minutes ago

So that’s fox, Wikileaks, drudge and now the enquirer all of them silent since Murdock met with McConnell last Thursday. And DOJ saying it will make determination about acting AG recusal and tRUmp hiding silently in White House. Wtf?
