only now are some people realizing there’s a right-wing noise machine that targets Dems??
I’m trying to remember all the times these folks ran out to defend Hillary Clinton from Fox News attacks. spoiler: they *amplified* Fox News attacks on her when it was politically convenient
yes, there’s a Fox News noise machine that smears Dems and its dangerous and awful. no, Nancy Pelosi shouldn’t be who you’re mad at

journalists who won’t concede 2016 mistakes claim 2020 will be better—gotcha; nytimes.com/2019/04/16/bus…

good thread....reminder that under @deanbaquet, who fired NYT public editor, the paper operates under a strict policy of never conceding mistakes re: Dem coverage
the paper still defends its comically awful Clinton 2016 coverage. it’s like there’s some kind of newsroom blood pact of loyalty
interesting: WP doesn’t have this problem.

People don't seem to understand how crippling and absolutely murderous the Venezuela sanctions are. Here is a little thread about what they are, and how they work. And here is a link to the primary source: state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi/v…
As an initial matter, there was a United Nations report on the Venezuela sanctions, which bluntly stated that the "economic sanctions kill" Venezuelans. The full report itself is very readable. web.archive.org/web/2019013020…
So let's look at some of the sanctions that were imposed in August 2017. Section 1 over here makes it illegal for the government of Venezuela to raise any kind of money, through the sale of bonds or securities. It also makes it illegal for Venezuelan companies to remit profits.

salon.com/2019/03/07/tru… With House Democrats opening up sweeping investigations and Michael Cohen dropping off three suitcases of evidence, Trump propagandists switch the concern troll phase, claiming investigating Trump will somehow hurt Democrats.
Concern trolling is when someone tries to scare you off an action that will actually benefit you and harm your enemies by trying to make you worry it will backfire.

Don’t fall for it, Democrats.
The right wing noise machine is good at feeding conspiracy theories into the mainstream. But they might not be able to conceal Trump’s multitude of real and likely criminal conspiracies. Polling data shows this.

I just completed Chapter 8 of my livetweeting of my reading of Seth Abramson’s book, Proof of Collusion, which you can buy here: simonandschuster.com/books/Proof-of…
My threads on previous chapters are here:
Chapter 9 is called “’The Hunt for Her Emails.’” Of course, no one ever found them (these were emails that the FBI let Hillary, with the aid of her lawyers, delete when they handed over a large cache of them to the FBI, because as they were going to be published publicly...

Actually, I think a much better microcosm of why Trump won is how we learned last week that Trump is caging and torturing children, and the media's top focus one week later is whether liberals protesting it are being too rude.
The issue is not that liberals are "galvanizing" Trump voters, @jwpetersNYT. Be realistic. There is a billion-dollar industry, from Fox News on down, that takes ANYTHING liberals do and spins it to enrage conservatives. They'd be "galvanized" by Nancy Pelosi sneezing in public.
The right-wing noise machine ensures conservatives are ALWAYS galvanized against liberals, whether or not they actually did anything wrong.

Fox made a scandal of John Kerry being a decorated war hero. They made a scandal of Hillary Clinton running a charity that treated AIDS.
