progressives, once again getting demolished on media front. GOP has so much money $$$ there from right-wing billionaires they don’t know how to spend it all
the conservative movement is absolutely drowning in money these days
and the conservative movement spends non-stop on media messaging. liberals think NYT and WP will do that for them—huge mistake

I have some thoughts; dailykos.com/story/2019/1/8…
you can’t make this stuff up folks!!
btw, here’s what’s wrong with bowing to Trump and then giving Dems rebuttal time—networks are presenting both as equally valid when everyone at every news org in America knows Trump lies abt immigration *nonstop*

this is an embarrassing take. Trump’s on pace for 15k lies in 4 yrs and media should give him “benefit of the doubt”? just wow
this is parts of media clinging to idea Trump isn’t dangerously radical
worse, networks already know Trump’s going to address a **completely fictional border “crisis”**

oh the irony, in 2014 the networks denied Obama's request for airtime in primetime to address....immigration reform.
based on that, there's absolutely zero justification for nets to give Trump airtime to discuss his (fantasy) Wall.
and yes, nets are starting to announce they’ll give Trump airtime after they refused Obama (who’s not a pathological liar!!)

 Far too much energy has been depleted in condemning how the rich and the famous spend their #money (legally inherited and/or legally earned) on weddings. In one straight piece @monikahalan makes mincemeat out of them – and forces an introspection livemint.com/Money/Tzr7GQyG…

 How many of those calling such high-decibel weddings “vulgar” opt for a simple registered wedding for their children, asks @monikahalan – scathing observation on #money!
3/n
 Rather than condemning those who spend their earned/inherited #money, we need to look at how taxpayers’ money is spent on the personal upkeep of ‘public servants’ in acres-large bungalows in prime locations, argues @monikahalan
[We don’t because so few of us pay income tax.]

1. The #GOP damage control messaging trying to contain the fallout from Mr. Trump’s incitement and direct link to the #NAGAShooter and #MAGABombers is falling in the usual pattern. After their false flag theory fell apart they’ve moved along to their standard propaganda.
2. Mr. Trump desperately needs his people to be afraid of an immigrant invasion so he doubled down attacking the Central American refugees as if no mass murder based on his words took place. He also projected his guilt onto the media for correctly reporting his demonizing words.
3. If that weren’t enough, despite the reporting from @NPRinskeep that the refugee numbers were around 3,500 and most had accepted offers for asylum in Mexico as had the previous group of refugees, Mr. Trump is still deploying 5,500 federal service members.

Again, again, again, I can’t stress this enough 👉 Ezra’s Rebel Media is actively promoting neo-Nazi parties and fascists around the world, and employing a long line of notorious white supremacists with antisemitic tendencies (often using exactly these globalist/Soros tropes). 🚫
Ezra knows exactly what he is doing when he channels white supremacist garbage into website clicks for Rebel Media. Usually he directs this hateful energy towards Muslims and refugees, but antisemitism is always close below the surface & he is disingenuous to deny it. #cdnpoli
There’s a lot happening in these tweets by Ezra Levant, including denying the existence of well-known anti-Semitic tropes, and claiming that left-wing Jews are not actually Jewish (& that they “play the Jewish card” when they criticize white supremacy etc). #cdnpoli

Okay, so. At about 2:00 PM I'm going to do a thread (continuing off this one if you want to like/bookmark/tab it) about Trump's AP interview from earlier this week.
I've made no secret of the fact that I see limited value in interviewing a reflexive liar but as long as people are doing it, I am going to wring every drop of meaning out of them that I can.
For those who haven't followed me long and don't know what I actually do here, I'm *not* a fact checker. That takes skills and resources I don't have. What I have is a very particular set of skills, skills honed over a long career of picking words apart and putting them together.

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

1. #GOP leadership must quit pushing the talking point that Russia's attack on the 2016 election didn't actually impact the election results - there is no basis for that statement. That misrepresentation may serve the GOP and DT's ego, but it does NOT serve the American people.
2. If the people of this country are to prepare themselves for additional foreign attacks and protect themselves from these nefarious actors, then they must fully understand the extent and impact of Russia's cyber-espionage and assault on our democracy.
3. Further, as the indictments and trials from Mueller's probe ensue, the role the #GOP played in aiding and abetting this attack will unfold. Now, is the time to begin righting these wrongs, not self-servingly watering down the impact and fleeing accountability.
