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

1. Can we talk about @redlobster?

Dozens of corporations stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson after he said immigrants made America "dirtier"

Now Carlson is arguing there's a moral responsibility to pay women less than men.

@redlobster is one of the few corps sticking w/him
@redlobster 2. The president of @redlobster is Salli Setta. She's on the board of the Women's Foodservice Forum (@WFFHQ).

@WFFHQ is dedicated to "galvanizing the Food Industry" to become "one of the first industries to close the gender gap"

Why is @redlobster sticking with Tucker Carlson?
3. Corporations like @redlobster want to develop a reputation for being socially conscious. Its president is devoted to gender equality. Kudos.

But the power of corporations comes from how they use their resources.

1. As if on #Q, the @washingtonpost unveils #Khashoggi's final article. Folks, the timing and the content of this alleged "last post" couldn't have been better scripted by #Hollywood itself. Whoever wrote this article is good and the planning, even better. washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
2. There is a couple things that stand out though. Whoever wrote this with exclusion of the state of Israel, is, or is appearing to be, anti-Semitic. The #NationOfIsrael has long been ignored or denied by arabs in the middle east. There's another issue here. The editor states...
3. ...this article was sent to the Post 1 day AFTER Khashoggi's disappearance. How was it sent a day after he went missing? Who gave the order for it to be sent? This looks like a setup, but by who? The thought here is, did the sender know it'd take 15 days for the piece to...

1) I’ll bet you $10 #Khashoggi is alive.

It’s a lunchtime #coffeetime.
Thursday, October 18, 2018.
2) This first part is shameless marketing for my upcoming book. Just give me 2 Tweets and then we'll move on.
3) But you need to know how I know the #Khashoggi thing is bullshit.

Trump made a catastrophic mistake in embracing another dictator, and all he can do is repeat the lies that got us here. Yes, he’s lying about his financial interests. But it’s his “FAKE NEWS” lie—his hatred for the press—that put a target on WaPo journalist Khashoggi’s back.
.@brianklaas: Saudis made a strategic calculation—based on Trump’s dictator worship, hate for the press & his financial interests— that Khashoggi murder was no BFD.

Looks spot on: Trump floats “rogue killers” disinfo. Pompeo flies to SA, thx King for “thorough investigation”🤔
Trump & Pompeo seem to be complicit in Saudi campaign to coverup Khashoggi’s murder—one of the most heinous crimes in recent memory. We hear the right words like “Punish” & “thorough investigation,” but they’re empty of their meaning. We saw this tactic in sham Kavanaugh probe.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…
