We are learning about Twitter #thread construction today. Our topic: The events involving #Turkey and #Syria.
2/ What struck us this morning was the differential placement on assorted #news home pages. Here's what I mean.
3/ @CNN leads with impact of troop withdrawal, in particular the possibility of re-enabling #ISIS.
4/ For #FoxNews, the story is well down the page. Most of the top of their page is US politics.
5/ Overseas,
@BBC
has it at the top and focuses on multiple country interests in the headline.

Perhaps inciting violence against the #media...nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/…
2/ You can find the mentioned video if you look for it, but I wouldn't recommend it, since it's disturbing. I will say that the variety of media, politicians and entertainers depicted is larger than the article indicates.
And the White House Correspondent's Association has thoughts about this.

It's not Friday, but here's a bonus #FunFact #Thread about the #AltGov. It's topical to #HurricaneDorian
2/ It is true that they got their start right around the inauguration in 2017. There have been a few events that have been have caused them to organize and build structures. The 2017 hurricanes were one.
3/ An #AltGov-started initiative ended up bringing in follower volunteers literally all over the world, and they developed technology and structures that were responsible for saving thousands of lives.

#Thread 1/ Today's a day when I think a lot of people are going to be discussing and critiquing #journalism Since I've been teaching the subject for quite some time now, here's some things I tell my students about their relationships to public officials.
2/ The first rule of #journalism, even in the @spj_tweets code of ethics, is to "seek truth and report it." Sources of truth don't always want it shared. Everyone wants to look good, and when people have chosen to do bad things, they don't want you to expose them.
3/ A side #ProTip for newsmakers: The best way to avoid unfavorable coverage is to not do bad things. It's not 100%, but it works a lot better than other shenanigans you try.

Thread discussing today’s EU Sanctions on leading businessmen in #Syria

Why those sanctions? Are their merited?

Will concentrate on Samer Foz 👇who was on today’s list & who has been increasingly in the news of late.

His story is a microcosm of the moronic sanctions policy
2-Before we discuss the charges, let's recap how Samer Foz got here & how he became a "wealthy businessman". Samer is from Sunni business family in Lattakia but this is not the source of his current wealth. Samer Foz actually got rich because of the EU who just sanctioned him =>
3-Early in the crisis, EU froze all accounts belonging to #Syria 's Govt. Nearly $750 mm were in #France. Samer Foz was able to convince the French to unfreeze the funds on humanitarian grounds & if he proved the money would only go for the purchase of wheat/grain

Did you know #Turkey has a #BorderWall of 764-kilometer or (475-mile) among its border with #Syria? The project was finished in June 2018. It is made from Concrete and barb wire @charliekirk11 Build bridges not walls....
Some more pictures of the #BorderWall from #Turkey with #Syria.
This is the 3.1 billion euros of money what Europe gave to #Turkey back in the summer of 2015, to help and keep the #Refugees in Turkey. Meanwhile they keep living in plastic tents and mobile homes instead of building real homes with that money Europe gave them.

Thread: Here’s how the U.S led strikes on #Syria developed from here in the Capital #Damascus in the early hours of this morning
1. At around 4.30 Damascus time I awoke to initial large sounds of over 10 rocket attacks, it immediately was clear from the types of missile being heard that it was a Western Attack conducted by the #U.S #France & #U.K
2. The strikes were heard clearly in all parts of the Capital and continued on and off for a duration of 50 minutes, Syrian state media reported the strikes but didn’t provide information as to the locations
