a daily caller writer was on an email list that referred to adolf hitler as “our friend” and trump as “our friend’s son.” splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…
i see your cynical takes about how you’re Not Shocked and i’m not impressed. i posit that @hannahgais’s detailed reporting about the Caller’s repeated employment of white nationalists calls for a real reckoning about how we treat its role in the infosphere.
It’s useless to scoff at the Caller as long as their white nationalist-friendly newsroom can still get people fired for innocuous social media comments, or treated as “real reporting” by mainstream sources.

alright I'm going to post the email exchanges with that journalist who wrote this article, but before I do, some remarks splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…
first, essentially all the information I shared is information I would freely share elsewhere anyway, but what I notice is that, say something here on Twitter, nobody even bats an eye, but tell it to a journalist, and (some) people go batshit insane
second, I chose to engage in good faith - albeit with reservations (e.g. why I used email rather than giving a phone interview like they originally requested) - under the impression the article would be primarily about neoreaction as a phenomenon, from which people might learn

Stunning investigative reporting by @hannahgais here. Several people who worked at conservative media outlets participated in a rabidly racist and anti-semitic (pro-Hitler, even) group email called "Morning Hate." splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…
@hannahgais The organizer of this email had, for many years, been the director of the Journalism program at the Koch-funded libertarian Institute for Humane Studies. This institute trained scores of journalists who went on to work for a variety of outlets.
@hannahgais All of the people who've been exposed in this piece wrote lengthy defenses of (or tepid apologies for) their participation in the "Morning hate" email group. Read their words. Then ask yourself what you would do if you saw an email like the ones included in the story.

I appreciate this reporting, but another way to tell that white nationalists have infiltrated conservative media is simply to *look at the output of conservative media*. splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…
It is a weird thing, in journalism & culture generally, that we view "secret" information, uncovered, as somehow more significant or valid than info on the public record. We shouldn't need any expose to point out that the right is dominated by white nationalism. It's right there!
My tweet that began "I appreciate this reporting" has been taken as denigrating the reporting -- because Twitter, I guess -- so let me just clarify that, uh, I appreciate this reporting! It is valuable & good. I'm glad it was done. Kudos to everyone involved.

news, folks:

here's my latest (and first) for @splinter_news on how a small group of white nationalists used an email thread known as "morning hate" to push their movement's message through the conservative media and think tank sphere. splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…
@splinter_news since the so-called alt-right's inception in 2008, it has focused on infiltrating institutions to push its message. paul gottfried, the man who co-created the term with richard spencer, argued this in his 2008 speech to the H.L. Mencken Club.
@splinter_news over the past couple of years we've seen a number of white nationalists outed as employees at the daily caller. see, for instance, scott greer, who was the managing editor of radix journal. what we have here is more insight into how fascists used the platform for their message.

#Trump has not lost his marbles entirely. I have a theory as to why he wants to buy it

He wants to hide the uncomfortable truth about #climatechange and sea level rises, so business will be conducted as usual and hell to the future

The situation there is bad. A flavour of what is to come to us all if we do not halt the worst effects of #climatechange #ClimateEmergency

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
