CONVENTIONAL WISDOM: Silicon Valley is full of liberals and social media platforms are biased against conservatives

REALITY: Fox News gets more distribution on Facebook than any other publisher, by a mile

(data from @NewsWhip)
@NewsWhip In addition Facebook PAYS Fox News an undisclosed amount of money to produce 12 shows a week for its heavily promoted Facebook Watch initiative
I'll also just note that the Daily Wire, which is a hard right content aggregation farm that does no original reporting gets more distribution on Facebook than the Washington Post

TRUMP: "At the request of Democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall."

What Democrat has requested a border wall made of steel?
TRUMP: "The border wall would very quickly pay for itself."

Absolutely no evidence of this. Trump cites the cost of illegal drugs, most of which come through official ports of entry.
TRUMP: "The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."

This is not true. And the deal hasn't even been approved by Congress.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

I did a summary on what’s happened with @GenFlynn Its short and to the point. Please watch and share — but there’s more.
As I was navigating, I noticed something infuriating. The other day I asked folks to subscribe to me on YouTube so that I could FINALLY bring myself over the 100k subscriber threshold. You answered in spectacular fashion. In that request I explained that (cont)
(Cont) youtube was REMOVING hundreds of subs every time I got close. I’d gain 500 and lose 400. I’d gain 600 and lose 700. This has been going on for 6 full months. It’s infuriating because it holds me back from visibility to others.

A while since tweeted abt #fakenews, but LSE Truth Trust & Technology Commission (@LSEmediapolicy) published long-awaited report: “Structural causes of media misinformation & set out a new framework for strategic policy” lse.ac.uk/media-and-comm…

WARNING: Going 2b LONG thread 1/
First, report is timely, and is healthy reminder of problems associated w/ fake news and harm to the 'infosphere'. Report does not (thankfully!) fall back on data/consumer protection as the be all end all remedy for fixing damage coming from disinformation campaigns. 2/
However, issues w/ recommendations, which I will try & tackle below. Report discusses 5 giant evils associated w/ information crisis. From here, this sets out framework for tackling problems – and in many ways, goes over old ground – defining mis-, dis- and mal-information. 3/
