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

Follow this thread as I share some of my favorite work I was involved in from 2018.
First up: Back in January I wrote about a pair of young Canadian Muslim siblings who made up a story about being the victims of an Islamophobia attack. Predictably, the credulous fools who lapped it all up were the media: quillette.com/2018/01/25/isl…
This was a typical response at the time when the story broke. The siblings later told police (falsely) that the suspect was an Asian man with glasses and black hair.

Off I go! It’s been a heckuva year already, with much more to come. For now, though, I’m taking a little time off. I’ll be away from work and email (and, somewhat, social media) from now until July 23! First up: Boston! Starting tomorrow! For a week! So, hit me up, Bostonians!
Then, back to DC, for another week off. I’m seeing shows (so many!), friends (hopefully the same!), and more! I’m looking forward to all of that—and to just taking some time to unwind and be content. I’m definitely not going into hiding, though, so reach out and let’s make plans!
I’ll be in and out over the next two weeks (see above!), but in the meantime ... let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves. I’ll do my best to do so, on both fronts, from vacation! (See below!)

The multipolar spin: how fascists operationalize left-wing resentment. Read what the @splcenter & @MaxBlumenthal don't want you to read here: web.archive.org/web/2018030922…

"​During his recent tour of Europe, disgraced former Trump strategist Steve Bannon declared “Italy is in the lead.” /1 #antifa #Fascism
Amid the historic resurgence of the Italian far right that returned right-wing populist Silvio Berlusconi to prominence, Bannon fantasized about “the ultimate dream” of unifying the anti-establishment Five Star Movement with the far-right League (formerly the Northern League)- /2

Now we've all caught our breath, here's everything you need to know about the biggest story in British media -- the battle royale for Sky (Thread 👇)
Media giants Comcast, Fox and Disney are all in the running to buy Sky. Why do they want it?
-- Big fans of Sky's technology, like the Sky Q box 📺📡
-- Want to diversify out of the U.S. 🌍
-- Want to beef up to compete with Netflix and Amazon 💪
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
There's a fair bit of personal drama here. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts has a long history of going toe-to-toe with Fox executive chairman Rupert Murdoch and Disney CEO Bob Iger for media dominance. These are astute, battle-hardened deal-makers bloomberg.com/gadfly/article…
